FORBES picked the best US cities to invest in and West Palm Beach came in 5th!

NOW is the time to buy. With many new developments going up, get in early! An uber golfing community is planned, Banyan Cay, a new city, Westlake, will have four builders creating communities, one of which will have 4000 units. Luxury Country Clubs like Ibis, Breakers West, Ironhorse, and Bayhill which uses PGA National courses and has a very nice public course across the street. Condo buildings are going up in various areas with midrise units and one complex with small condos for people who come on business for the weekends or for short trips – better to be in your own home than a hotel. Uber luxury condos are going up along the Intracoastal Waterway. Lots of properties available… going fast… 561-302-3388 for listings emailed as soon as we hear from you! Text OK.
