The neighborhood
Palm Beach Midtown, also called in-town or the Midtown-Worth Avenue corridor, is the walkable middle stretch of the island, roughly bounded by Worth Avenue on the south and Wells Road on the north. It anchors on Royal Palm Way and Royal Poinciana Way, with Midtown Beach just across South Ocean Boulevard.
Property types are primarily luxury condominiums and co-ops in full-service, valet, and concierge buildings such as Island House, Palm Beach Towers, and One Royal Palm, plus townhomes, pied-a-terres, and select smaller single-family homes with classic Palm Beach architecture.
Reported 2025-2026 data: in-town and Midtown condos averaged about $3.7 million in Q1 2026, down about 14 percent from the prior year; 2025 listings in the district ranged from $1.7 million (one-bedroom at Island House) to $3.199 million (two-bedroom Island House), $7.95 million (three-bedroom lakefront triple-condo at Palm Beach Towers), and a $9.5 million ground-floor ocean-view condo across from Midtown Beach.
Midtown is the island's most 'lock-and-leave' address: full-service buildings, walkable to Worth Avenue, the beach, and Royal Palm Way, with the island's top residential services at the door.
