Grandview Heights Historic District is a residential neighborhood in West Palm Beach featuring craftsman bungalows and Mediterranean revival homes along tree-lined streets. The area stretches between Park Place and Lake Avenue, showing how diverse architectural styles developed together.
The neighborhood developed between 1910 and 1925 as the city expanded and needed housing for clergy, shopkeepers, and skilled workers. This early growth was tied to the construction boom on nearby Palm Beach.
Historical churches and art galleries shape the creative life of the neighborhood, reflecting the work of local communities. The Armory Arts Center shows how art became woven into daily life here.
The neighborhood is near Howard Park and the Norton Museum for art lovers, with several bed and breakfast places within walking distance. The layout makes it easy to explore on foot and is close enough to downtown West Palm Beach to visit other spots.
Early residents chose this location for its elevated position, offering views across a cemetery to Lake Worth Lagoon. This higher ground was both practical and shaped how the early community saw itself.
