Worth Avenue

Worth Avenue runs from Cocoanut Row and the lagoon on the west to South Ocean Boulevard and the Atlantic on the east, four walkable blocks that sit at the center of the island's Midtown district. The Esplanade anchors the avenue at 150 Worth Avenue, and Royal Poinciana Way, the original main street, runs a few blocks north with the Royal Poinciana Plaza at its heart. Phipps Plaza, the landmarked enclave begun by John S. Phipps in 1924, sits a step north of the avenue with its own boutiques, galleries, and restaurants around an elliptical green.

Asking data, 2025 to October 2026

Residential product near the avenue runs from boutique condominiums and co-ops to in-town houses and residence-over-retail units in the surrounding blocks. Renovated ocean-view units in the area have listed around $6.45 million (April 2026), while the town's broader condo median sat near $1.5 to $1.8 million across 2025 and the district's single-family market has traded in the millions, including the $15.5 million Brazilian Avenue sale in February 2025. These are dated asking and closed figures, not guarantees; confirm the current read with Kelby.

The island's public school, Palm Beach Public School at 239 Cocoanut Row, is a few blocks from the avenue and serves grades PK through 5; grades 6 through 12 are zoned off-island by address through The School District of Palm Beach County. Verify current boundaries with the school district.

School boundaries change and are set by address, never by community name: verify current boundaries with The School District of Palm Beach County before relying on any assignment.

Phipps Plaza, the landmarked enclave a step north of the avenue and one of the town's locally designated historic districts, carries Landmarks Preservation Commission review for changes to its designated buildings; the island's broader landmark program covers many houses on the surrounding blocks. Condominium and co-op rules vary by building, and the town's no-short-term-rental zoning applies island-wide, including to units over the shops. Verify current rules with the town and the building before planning any rental.
