Overview
About Northwood Shores
Northwood Shores is the stretch of Northwood that runs to the water. Its east edge is North Flagler Drive along the Lake Worth Lagoon, and its streets step back from the drive to Poinsettia Avenue, where Old Northwood begins.
Most of the houses went up in the 1940s and 1950s, with a handful from the 1920s; the oldest on the county roll, at 229 30th Street, dates from 1917. Inside the neighborhood-association boundary the roll counts 243 residential parcels, 225 of them single-family houses, at a typical size of about 1,820 square feet.
The lots sit on the North Shore Terrace plats, the Gale Lake Worth Plat No. 1 and two small plats, Flagler Lane and Cerda. About 60 parcels have North Flagler Drive addresses along the lagoon, and the rest are on the side streets from 28th to 35th Street.
Northwood Village and Currie Park are a few blocks south, and the Northboro Park historic district is just to the north. It is in the 33407 ZIP.

What Else to Check
- Flood insurance The Palm Beach Post reported in 2018 that heavy rain floods North Flagler Drive and side streets up to three blocks west of the lagoon here. We pull the FEMA flood map and the elevation certificate for each home before an offer.
- Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
- Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.
Documents to Review Before Closing
- Before you sign: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
- Before you sign: leasing and approval rules if you may rent, and architectural rules for exterior changes
- Before closing: estoppel certificates from every association that applies
