About Royal Palm Beach
Royal Palm Beach was incorporated in 1959 and has grown into a village of about 39,000. Parks are a big part of daily life here: Commons Park covers about 160 acres around a 19-acre lake, smaller neighborhood parks are spread through the village, and the county's Royal Palm Beach Pines Natural Area adds roughly 770 acres of pine flatwoods with walking trails. The village has been a Tree City USA since 1990, and everything inside its limits is a designated bird sanctuary. Most of Jose's rental work happens here. Renters find three-bedroom houses with yards, and many renters later buy in the village. Buyers find the same houses, with elementary schools rated 7 to 10 out of 10. For sellers, 82% of homes are owner-occupied, so most buyers who come looking plan to live in the home.
