About Palm Trail Delray Beach
Palm Trail is one of Delray Beach's most coveted in-town neighborhoods — a quiet, tree-lined pocket in the northeast corner of the city, tucked between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal Waterway just a few blocks north of Atlantic Avenue. It's the rare address where you can walk to downtown's restaurants, galleries, and nightlife, then retreat to a shaded street that still feels like Old Florida. Homes range from 1920s cottages and classic ranch houses on oversized lots to brand-new European- and Key West–style construction, so original terrazzo floors and beamed ceilings sit a block from contemporary glass-and-stucco builds. Roughly a quarter of the neighborhood's homes front the Intracoastal or deep-water canals, many with private docks and ocean access, while others enjoy garden and pool settings a short stroll from the beach. The result is an affluent, unhurried enclave that gives up nothing for its proximity to the heart of Delray.
