Overview
About El Encanto
El Encanto covers Colonial Lane, El Pueblo Way and La Puerta Way in the North End, along with lots on North Lake Way and North Ocean Boulevard, recorded as El Encanto and El Encanto Plat No. 2. Its streets hold a run of late-1930s houses, among them a 1939 design by architect Belford Shoumate on El Pueblo Way.
The county roll lists 79 parcels in El Encanto: 74 single-family houses and 5 vacant lots, which makes it one of the larger plats in the North End. Houses range widely, from about 1,800 to 6,600 square feet.
The oldest house on the roll dates to 1924, and the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach keeps an El Encanto file covering 1924 to 1940. The middle year is 1984, with new houses through 2025.
El Encanto sits in what brokers call the North End, north of Wells Road; that is a brokerage term, not an official town boundary. Mockingbird Trail adjoins it to the north, and the Palm Beach Country Club is a short drive south.
