These figures are city-level estimates compiled from third-party sources—Walk Score, NeighborhoodScout (FBI), and GreatSchools. Walkability, crime, and school zoning vary street by street, so confirm the details for any specific address before making an offer.
Schools
The island's public elementary, Palm Beach Public, offers a magnet gifted program and is well regarded. Many families also draw on established independent schools—among them Palm Beach Day Academy and Rosarian Academy—on the island or just over the bridge in West Palm Beach. Confirm zoning and admissions with each school directly.
