Overview
About Grandview Heights
Grandview Heights is one of the oldest West Palm Beach neighborhoods still intact. It was built from about 1910 to 1925 as an extension of Palm Beach Heights, and the City notes it holds one of the city’s strongest collections of early Craftsman bungalows, with some modest Mediterranean Revival houses.
Its first residents included construction workers who built the hotels across the lake and downtown store owners. In 1989 almost all of Palm Beach Heights and about half of Grandview Heights were demolished for the Downtown/Uptown redevelopment project, and residents then pushed to stop further demolition. The City made what remained a historic district in 1995, and the National Park Service listed it on the National Register on July 8, 1999.
Inside the City’s boundary the county roll counts 258 residential parcels: 141 single-family houses, 93 small multifamily buildings, a few condominiums and some vacant lots, at a typical size of about 1,700 square feet. Most were built from the 1920s on, with newer infill since. The recorded plats include Grandview Heights, Moss & Heisler Addition, Park Slope and Williams Plat.
It sits in the 33401 ZIP, roughly bounded by Park Place, Alabama Avenue, M Street and Lake Avenue, close to downtown, the Kravis Center and the Armory Art Center on Park Place.

What Else to Check
- Historic district review The City of West Palm Beach reviews exterior changes to homes in its historic districts, on every side of the building. A certificate of appropriateness comes from City staff for smaller work and from the Historic Preservation Board for major work; interior remodeling is not reviewed.
- Historic tax exemption The City’s ad valorem exemption can keep qualifying restoration work from raising the taxes for up to ten years. The City says to apply before any work starts.
- 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
