Northwood sits just north of downtown West Palm Beach, a walkable pocket of early-20th-century bungalows, Mediterranean cottages, and restored craftsman homes with real architectural character. It's the kind of neighborhood where you can bike to a coffee shop, catch the Intracoastal breeze, and still be minutes from the beaches near Palm Beach Shores homes for sale. Buyers here tend to value walkability and personality over cookie-cutter square footage.
Right now the market is compact and a little pricey per foot: 18 active listings with a median list price of $887,000 and an average of $689 per square foot on a median home size of just 1,408 square feet.

Northwood FAQs
Is Northwood a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you value historic character and walkability over sprawling square footage — the median home here is a compact 1,408 square feet. The neighborhood's mix of restored bungalows and its proximity to downtown West Palm Beach and the Intracoastal give it a genuine sense of place. Families should note assigned schools include GLADES CONSTRUCTION ACADEMY AT WEST TECH and Palm Beach Lakes High School.
Is Northwood expensive?+
It's priced above the county average per foot, at an average of $689 per square foot, with a median list price of $887,000. That said, the range is wide — listings start at $239,990 and climb to $4,850,000 — so there's genuine variety across budgets.
What do homes cost in Northwood?+
Active listings carry a median list price of $887,000, but actual sales tell a gentler story: 15 homes sold over the past year at a median of $530,000. The gap reflects a compact inventory of 18 listings where higher-end homes pull the asking prices up — you can compare live on the live map.
How is the market right now?+
It's a measured market, not a bidding war. Homes take a median of 73 days to sell, and sellers are averaging about 95% of their asking price, which leaves room for reasonable negotiation. With only 18 active listings, inventory is tight, so serious buyers should act when the right one appears.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Most Northwood homes are single-family properties without an HOA, so ongoing dues are typically not a factor here. Property taxes run a median of about $7,182 per year, and if you're weighing renting, the median rent sits around $2,900 per month.
