Grandview Heights: West Palm Beach’s Historic Hideaway with Big Style and Downtown Access

Nestled between downtown West Palm Beach and the Intracoastal, Grandview Heights is a hidden-in-plain-sight gem for buyers who crave charm, walkability, and urban convenience. This historic neighborhood blends early 20th-century architecture with a lush, tropical setting—and it’s just steps from The Square, Howard Park, and the Kravis Center.

If you’re looking for a character-filled home near all the action (but not in the middle of the chaos), Grandview Heights delivers charm, culture, and a neighborhood feel that’s hard to replicate anywhere else in the city.

🏡 A Rich History in the Heart of the City

Grandview Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in West Palm Beach, with development beginning in the early 1900s. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and many of its original homes have been beautifully preserved or renovated to maintain their architectural integrity.

Here, you’ll find Mission-style bungalows, Mediterranean Revival cottages, and early Craftsman-style homes—each one with its own unique personality. The neighborhood’s historic charm is matched by its unbeatable location, offering residents walkable access to the city’s cultural, shopping, and dining scenes.
