Real Estate

An established freshwater town of lake and canal homes, mature streets, and convenient access to central Palm Beach County.

A closer look at
Lake Clarke Shores

Lake Clarke Shores is an incorporated residential town organized around freshwater lakes and canals west of Interstate 95. Established streets, mature landscape, neighborhood parks, and small-boat access define a setting close to West Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach.

Waterfront utility is not uniform. Buyers should investigate canal connections, bridge clearance, depth, shoreline condition, drainage, aquatic vegetation, boat rules, and the relationship between private property and public waterways.
