610 Clematis

610 Clematis puts you above the street that defines West Palm Beach. An eight-story, 246-residence condominium at the corner of Clematis Street and Rosemary Avenue, designed by Bermello Ajamil & Partners and completed in 2006, it's downtown's true mixed-use address, restaurants and retail at street level, residences above, with CityPlace a couple of blocks south and the Clematis waterfront a short walk east. You don't go out to the Clematis District from here; you live in it.

One-, two- and three-bedroom condos for sale at 610 Clematis range from about 740 to over 2,000 square feet, the eighth floor carries the building's 10-foot ceilings and penthouse plans, and have closed at a 12-month median around $410,000, with current listings from the low $400s to the high $700s. For walkable downtown living at a real-world price, this is one of the strongest buys in the district.

The recently rebuilt infinity pool anchors a lushly landscaped deck with a zen garden and tropical courtyard, a genuinely calm pocket one floor above the busiest street downtown. Residents also get a well-equipped fitness center, steam and sauna rooms, underground covered parking, and a 24-hour attended front desk behind a limestone-and-wood lobby with coffered ceilings that sets the tone the moment you walk in.

Everything that makes downtown West Palm Beach worth it is on your block: Clematis Street's restaurants, bars and live music, the waterfront and the Saturday green market a few minutes' walk east, CityPlace and the Brightline station a few minutes south. 610 Clematis has condos for sale and condos for rent, and for buyers who rank walkability first, no building in the city scores higher.
