The neighborhood
Worth Avenue is Palm Beach's famous four-block luxury shopping and dining district, often called Florida's Rodeo Drive or Fifth Avenue, running from the Everglades Club west to the ocean at South Ocean Boulevard. Laid out in 1913 and named for General William Jenkins Worth, it was developed into a Mediterranean Revival retail street by architect Addison Mizner in the 1910s and 1920s.
Residences in and around the district include Winthrop House at 100 Worth Avenue (122 oceanfront units), Kirkland House at 101 Worth Avenue (a 20-unit boutique oceanfront building), 455 Worth (one and two-bedroom units at the top of the Avenue), plus 401 and 425 Worth Avenue buildings and other in-town condos along South Ocean Boulevard.
Reported 2025-2026 data: 455 Worth units roughly $1.45 million to $2.2 million; Winthrop House two-bedrooms about $4.3 million to $5.5 million; Kirkland House $7 million to $20 million; and the broader in-town Worth Avenue pocket reported at $3 million to $80 million plus.
This is the island's most social address: the Avenue's boutiques, vias, and restaurants at the door, the beach one block east, and Palm Beach's cultural quarter between the island's center and the ocean.
