Historic Northwood, FL
The Old Northwood Historic District is a vibrant, eclectic neighborhood in West Palm Beach, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places for its rich 1920s heritage. Developed during the Florida land boom, the area is famed for its diverse architectural landscape, featuring Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style homes designed by notable architects like John Volk and William King. Located just north of downtown, the community centers around the bohemian Northwood Village, a hub for independent art galleries, global cuisine, and unique boutiques. With its mix of historic charm, high elevation (reaching the highest natural peaks in South Florida), and a creative, community-driven atmosphere, Northwood offers a distinct urban character that bridges the gap between classic Florida history and modern artistic flair.
