Royal Palm Beach High School

It's a solid pick for families who want western Palm Beach County suburban living with neighborhood schools like Cypress Trails Elementary and Crestwood Community Middle in the same attendance zone. The community leans toward pool and waterfront homes — 213 of 303 active listings have a pool and 142 are waterfront — so outdoor living is a real part of the appeal.

It's moderate for the region, with a median list price of $368,900 and homes selling at a median of $475,000 over the last year. The range is wide — from $70,000 up to $3,890,000 — so there's room for budgets on both ends, though only 15 active listings are priced above $1 million.

Expect to pay around $258 per square foot on average, with a median home size near 1,317 square feet. The current median list price is $368,900, while Royal Palm Beach homes for sale that closed recently had a median sold price of $475,000.

It's active and reasonably balanced — 303 homes are listed and 209 sold over the past 12 months, with a median 44 days on market. Sellers are averaging 97% of their asking price, which tells you buyers still have some negotiating room but shouldn't expect deep discounts.

The median HOA runs about $318 per month, reflecting the many managed communities in the zone, with 44 active listings in gated neighborhoods. Median property taxes come in around $3,264 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is about $2,200 per month.
