Overview

A small city with a creative streak

Lake Worth Beach sits on the coast in central Palm Beach County, south of West Palm Beach. The city was known as Lake Worth until March 2019, when voters approved the new name, so you will still see Lake Worth on plenty of addresses and listings.

Downtown runs along Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue, with independent shops, restaurants and galleries. The Lake Worth Playhouse puts on shows in the historic Oakley Theatre, and the city is known as one of the most artistic in the Palm Beaches.

Homes range from streets close to downtown to quieter neighborhoods around Lake Osborne, such as Lake Osborne Estates.
