Northwood sits at the top edge of West Palm Beach, a walkable pocket of early-20th-century bungalows and Mediterranean cottages a short hop from Downtown West Palm Beach and the water. It's the kind of place where restored front porches share blocks with in-progress renovations, and where Midtown energy and the quieter streets near Northwood Harbor are both within reach.
For buyers today, the market here is small and priced across a wide spectrum. There are 18 homes for sale with a median list price of $887,000, but the range runs from $324,900 to $4,850,000 — so budgets from first-time buyer to trophy-property show up on the same live map. With a median 79 days on market and sellers netting about 95% of asking, there's room to negotiate on the right listing.
Northwood is a community in Palm Beach Shores, Florida.

Northwood FAQs
Is Northwood a good place to live?+
It appeals to buyers who want historic architecture and walkability near the center of West Palm Beach rather than a cookie-cutter subdivision. Neighboring pockets like Midtown and Northwood Harbor give the area a mix of energy and quiet within a short distance. It's a genuine urban-adjacent neighborhood, not a gated community.
Is Northwood expensive?+
It's a broad market — the median list price is $887,000, but active listings start at $324,900 and climb to $4,850,000. Seven of the 18 current listings are priced above $1 million, so there's a real luxury tier alongside more attainable options.
What do homes cost in Northwood?+
The median list price is $887,000 and homes are averaging about $697 per square foot on a median size around 1,408 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 15 homes sold at a median price of $530,000, which reflects the smaller, more affordable end of the inventory.
How is the Northwood market right now?+
With 18 active listings and 15 sales in the past year, this is a low-volume neighborhood where individual homes matter. The median 79 days on market and 95% sale-to-list ratio point to a market where well-priced homes move but buyers still have negotiating room. You can track new listings on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Most of Northwood is made up of individual homes without a standard HOA, so there's no typical monthly HOA figure here. Property taxes run a median of about $7,271 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is around $3,000 a month.
