Overview
About Whispering Palms
Whispering Palms is one of the city’s postwar neighborhoods. Most of its houses went up between about 1950 and 1959 on the Whispering Palms and Tropical Heights plats, and the typical home is a modest one-story house of about 1,000 square feet.
The city’s neighborhood association map draws Whispering Palms from 12th Avenue South to the city line near 18th Avenue South, and from I-95 at Barton Road and Tropical Drive east to about South K Street. Inside that line the county roll counts about 580 residential parcels and about 700 homes, most of them single-family houses, with some duplexes and small apartment buildings.
The Osborne School on South Douglas Street, open from 1948 to 1971, sits inside the area and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003. A mobile home park and care facilities are also inside the boundary.
Whispering Palms is inside the City of Lake Worth Beach, so city zoning, permits and utilities apply. There is no mandatory homeowners’ association; the neighborhood association is a voluntary group recognized by the city.
