Hypoluxo

A small mainland town of canal and Intracoastal living between Lantana and Ocean Ridge.

The neighborhood

Hypoluxo is a small incorporated town (1955) in Palm Beach County on the western shore of the Lake Worth lagoon along the Intracoastal Waterway, roughly between Lantana and Ocean Ridge and south of West Palm Beach (ZIP 33462). It covers about 0.81 square miles, with roughly 28 percent water, so much of the town fronts the Intracoastal, lagoons, and canals.

The 2020 census recorded a population of about 2,687, with 2025 estimates ranging from roughly 2,743 to 2,954 depending on the source. Housing is dominated by Intracoastal and canalfront condominiums, townhomes, and gated communities, with single-family homes on the water the priciest segment.

Reported 2025-2026 data: median sale prices about $302,000 to $310,000 (Redfin, three months ending May 2026, sold figures around $308,000 to $310,000 in 2026); by property type, median condo about $284,000, single-family about $505,000 (with high-end waterfront sales well above $1 million, noted single-family median around $1.63 million in some data), and townhouse about $502,500 to $525,000. Typical home value around $351,000.

Hypoluxo is compact, watery, and serene: a mainland counterpoint to the island towns across the lagoon, minutes from Lantana, Boynton, and the beach.
