5 Top Palm Beach County places to live

Here at the Scuttina Real Estate Group, We've looked at the 5 top cities in Palm Beach County to live in based on the demographics, crime, income, and other factors. Overall pretty much anywhere in Palm Beach is great to live, and here's our list of the best cities:

Boca Raton (or just "Boca")

This is the largest city in Palm beach with around 85,000 people. It has 3 of the most expensive gated communities in the US with a family median income $93,000.

Wellington

While much smaller than Boca with only 55,000 people, Wellington has an enviable $91,000 family median income. BE Aerospace is located here.

Jupiter

Jupiter has a very large "snowbird" population and a slightly lower $65,000 family median income as a result. Jupiter has many expensive luxurious vacation homes. Michael Jordan, the famous basketball player is from Jupiter.

Palm Beach Gardens

This was a community planned by the wealthy landowner John D. MacArthur. As a consequence it has relatively strict zoning laws and interestingly only had a single resident according to the 1960 Census. Today the city has around 40,000 residents with an average income of $74,000. It has the kind of small-town feel that many homeowners are looking for, and also some of the highest density of gated communities largely because of the planned nature of the town.

Palm Beach Island (Palm Beach)

Palm beach Island is separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. While the town is small and has only around 20,000 residents. It is highly desired due to the proximity on both sides of water, the separateness from the rest of the mainland, and the enviable $150,000 median household income. Palm Beach Island was selected as America's Best Place to Live by Robb Magazine in 2003.
