West Palm Beach is the largest city in Palm Beach County and the region's economic engine, home to a growing cluster of financial firms, tech companies, and professional services that have relocated from the Northeast. The Clematis Street waterfront district and the Rosemary Square development anchor a lively downtown with restaurants, shops, and cultural venues including the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and the Norton Museum of Art. Neighborhoods range from the luxury estates on Flagler Drive overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway to the historic charm of Flamingo Park and El Cid, the family-friendly suburbs of Wellington (known for equestrian events) and Royal Palm Beach, and the trendy Northwood Village arts district. I-95 and the Florida Turnpike provide north-south connectivity, while Palm Beach International Airport offers convenient air travel. The School District of Palm Beach County is the tenth-largest in the nation. Major employers include the county government, Scripps Research Institute, NextEra Energy (FPL's parent company), and the growing roster of financial firms that have established Florida offices in the West Palm Beach area. The cost of living has risen sharply, particularly for housing, but remains competitive with South Florida peers like Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
