About the Community
Atlantis is a small, upscale gated community within Palm Beach County, offering a notably private and secure residential environment surrounded by lush landscaping, pristine lakes, and two golf courses — the Atlantis Country Club and Lost City Golf Club. Florida's absence of a state income tax provides a meaningful financial advantage, and the location places residents minutes from the dining, cultural attractions, and waterfront amenities of West Palm Beach. For clinicians seeking a high quality of life in a warm-weather, low-density community with easy access to a major metro area, Atlantis is a compelling place to put down roots.
