I moved up with my spouse, Mitch, from Miami Beach and re-located our real estate business here in Historic Lake Worth Florida Spring 2005. It has proved to be a really good idea. The property prices in Lake Worth are great. One can purchase a piece of 'paradise' close to the beach for under $200,000, and that's for an existing single family home!
Biking is trendy in Lake Worth. Lake Worth is one of the top 20 Biking Cities named by Biking Magazine. Historic downtown Lake Worth is more "Key West" than Key West itself! We are an artist community and hold a yearly Street Painting Festival in February, so make your reservations now. It's a highly attended event. Laid back, unpretentious and best of all - friendly. Live music is the venue here in Lake Woth and there's never a cover charge. Except at the famous "Bamboo Room" where your favorite jazz musicians have been hangin out for many years. You'll meet your neighbors at all the hot spots...Publix,
Dave's Last Resort, Brogue's (Best Irish Pub), IGOTS Martiqiki Bar, South Shores Tavern, Rum Shack, The Cottage, Bizarre Cafe (where everything you see is for sale) including town events and hoilday parades. It's a small town with plenty 'northern city' relocators. If you're seriously thinking of buying property here, you can't go wrong. Lake Worth is a great place to live. Lake Worth is located right on the Intracoastal and it's also directly across for it's own beach. The town is quaint and the city has designated historic neighbrhoods.
There are special historic preservation codes in place for building and renovating these structures. With prices still affordable, I can see many newer and younger people taking advantage of the fantastic opportunity to live and work in our community. With the current gasoline crisis consider downsizing to a smaller home within the city limits. Everything is within walking or biking distance.
We did and have never regretted leaving behind the high heating bills of the north and our 2200 SF home in Newtown, Pennsylvania. The beach, shopping dining and night life are the best. Lake Worth is convenient to West Palm Beach where the re-building of this beautiful waterfront city has been undergoing major renovations. It will be absolutely stunning when it's finished. CITYPLACE in West Palm Beach is nearby and many here consider it Lake Worth's real downtown. Live entertainment on weekends, upscale outdoor shopping mall.
Live theater, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Harriet Himmel Theater, and The Norton Museum of Art will keep you in culture while you live and work here. We have fun and stay cool. Summer is the time to be lazy. If you don't have a boat, get one because Lake Worth has one of the best community boat ramps at Bryant Park.
Let me know if I can help you with any real estate questions or needs. I'm always happy to make new friends.
