Finding an Apartment in West Palm BeachWest Palm Beach, Florida is a beautiful location to live in but finding an apartment to rent can be rather difficult. In terms of the 50 or so major cities that we have researched for apartment listings, West Palm Beach came up with the fewest selections. The Florida coast is a popular destination for retirees which keeps the inventory tight in many locales. In any event, to get started on your search, go to sites like Rent.com or Apartments.com to find out about prices, availability, and locations. We also like Craigslist.org as a site that offers an alternative to search for apartment vacancies. Of course, our point of view is that there is no better source than the official homepage for an apartment complex or building. Therefore, we have include quite a few down below for you to look at. When you do contact the apartment or property manager ask questions like - do you take pets, what is the deposit required, what kind of floor plans are there, do I get a view of the water, is there parking spaces for each apartment resident, etc. Rents are not cheap in W. Palm Beach so don't expect to get a bargain. One thing to consider is that the real estate market in certain parts of Florida has come way down of their recent highs so buying may be a better investment than renting an apartment. Even a small condo could be affordable if you buy in the right place.
The cost of living is high in the West Palm Beach Metro area, and 1 BR apartments will normally set you back $950 or more per month. Below are listings for some West Palm Beach Apartment Rentals.
