This show house is a powerful reminder of what happens when talent and generosity come together.

Realtors Inaugural Mayors Breakfast & Panel Discussion
The Realtors Inaugural Mayor Breakfast aims to engage Realtor members in a candid, policy-focused discussion on the City’s direction and to strengthen collaboration between local government and the real estate community.
"West Palm Beach is one of the most exciting, well-positioned cities in Florida right now — and it is growing with intention. The City offers a vibrant downtown, waterfront access, strong neighborhoods, major employers and Class-A office growth, cultural amenities, parks, public spaces, and a city government that partners with the private sector instead of fighting with it.
For Realtors, this offers an momentum you can believe in — not just a hot market, but a city building long-term value for buyers, renters, and investors." — Mayor Keith A. James

If you enjoy gardening—or want to learn—volunteer opportunities are available at Community Gardens in the Historic Northwest, sponsored by the City of West Palm Beach and Florida A&M University. Volunteers can help maintain the gardens in exchange for free produce and, in some cases, service hours, while learning to grow their own food and supporting greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables in the community.
Volunteer opportunities are available at two community gardens located in Coleman Park, 1116 21st Street, and Pleasant City, 2147 Spruce Street.
