Capsule: While the island town of Palm Beach is unique, communities immediately to the north and west of it -- known collectively as the northern Palm Beaches -- offer miles of stunning beaches, navigable waterways and far, far more golf.

Waterfront Homes: Premier oceanfront homes and ultraluxury condos can both be found along the Atlantic Oceanfront in the northern Palm Beaches. Some of the grandest oceanfront estates are located in the private community of Lost Tree Village at the northern end of Singer Island. For boat lovers, luxury waterfront homes and condos are also located on the shores of Lake Worth and along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Golf and Tennis: With more than 100 challenging golf courses, the northern Palm Beaches are virtually synonymous with golf. The western side of Palm Beach Gardens -- home of the Professional Golfers Association -- has one championship course after another. And additional magnificent golf communities can be found just to the north in Jupiter or to the south in West Palm Beach. A number of these luxury golf communities also boast impressive tennis complexes.

Weather: The northern Palm Beaches have an average year-round temperature of 74 degrees, making it easy to play golf -- as well as enjoy boating, fishing and tennis -- year-around.

Culture: Only minutes from the northern Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts presents a diverse line-up of musicals, ballet and modern dance, opera, classical, jazz and pop music to more than 500,000 people annually. The 400-seat Cuillo Centre for the Arts in West Palm Beach also delivers pre-Broadway shows and American Premieres along with concerts, play readings and special events.
