This week, I’m thrilled to feature a place that’s near and dear to my heart — Hypoluxo Island, my home for nearly seven years. It’s truly one of Palm Beach County’s best-kept secrets and, in my opinion, one of the top three coastal values anywhere along our coastline.
The Essence of Island Living
Hypoluxo Island perfectly captures what Florida living is all about — scenic beauty, tranquility, and coastal charm. With just around 300 single-family homes, it offers an intimate, small-town feel paired with world-class surroundings. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the Intracoastal or taking an evening walk beneath the palms, there’s a peacefulness here that’s hard to match.
Safe, Secure & Well-Connected
Security and peace of mind are a top priority here. The island benefits from not one, but two police jurisdictions — including the Manalapan Police Department — both equipped with the latest in modern safety technology. It’s as safe and secure as any place in South Florida.
Exceptional Value & Investment Potential
From a real estate perspective, Hypoluxo Island remains tremendously undervalued. Current entry pricing starts around $2 million, with luxury waterfront estates reaching upward of $20 million+. There’s even a stunning new $21 million direct intracoastal waterfront spec home currently on the market.
What’s especially exciting is the momentum: as of today, 19 homes are either under construction or being completely remodeled — a strong indicator of growth and renewed investment. Even dry lot homes are projected to reach up to $5 million soon.
A True Community
One of the most beautiful parts of Hypoluxo Island is its sense of community. Currently, there are a dozen young families, including my own, with children under two years old. It’s heartwarming to see new generations enjoying this special place.
Central Location & Top Schools
The island’s central Palm Beach County location is unbeatable. Residents enjoy easy access to some of South Florida’s finest private schools — from The Palm Beach Day Academy and Rosarian Academy to Gulf Stream School just to the south. Whether you’re heading north to Palm Beach or south to Delray, you’re never far from top-tier education, dining, and entertainment.
The Secret’s Getting Out
More and more people — including notable names and celebrities — are discovering what locals have known for years: Hypoluxo Island is one of the last truly special coastal enclaves in Palm Beach County.
If you’re looking for that perfect blend of privacy, beauty, value, and lifestyle, Hypoluxo Island should be at the top of your list.
