In South Florida, the most durable real estate value is increasingly tied to lifestyle infrastructure: luxury retail, member clubs, championship golf, and dining that functions like an amenity. For buyers weighing where to place capital and time, five hubs stand out for the way they compress daily convenience into a tightly curated radius: Aventura, Palm Beach Gardens, Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue district, PGA National’s resort-and-membership ecosystem, and West Palm Beach’s Flagler corridor. Together, they reveal a decisive shift in what defines “prime” in 2026: not just waterfront views, but proximity to experiences that stay relevant year after year.

Here is how MILLION Luxury frames the trade-offs, plus why select mainland waterfront towers in West-palm-beach are increasingly part of the same conversation.
