About the Community
West Palm Beach sits on Florida's Atlantic coast in Palm Beach County, offering year-round sunshine, waterfront living, and a vibrant arts and dining scene anchored by Clematis Street and the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. The area provides easy access to world-class beaches, boating, and golf, while remaining within an hour of Miami and Fort Lauderdale for metropolitan amenities. Florida's lack of a state income tax, combined with a relatively accessible housing market compared to South Florida's coastal cities, makes West Palm Beach an attractive destination for healthcare professionals relocating to the region.
