Harbour Isles

Harbour Isles is a gated waterfront community in North Palm Beach, Florida, built out between 2000 and 2004 by Watermark Communities on 76 acres off Prosperity Farms Road. The community holds 103 Mediterranean-style estate homes, most with private docks directly on the Intracoastal Waterway or on deep water canals leading to it. Harbour Isles sits behind a manned gate and is governed by its own community development district. Unlike many waterfront communities in the area, there are no fixed bridges between Harbour Isles and either the Jupiter Inlet or the Palm Beach Inlet, which makes it one of the more sought after addresses in northern Palm Beach County for owners of larger boats.

In my experience, Harbour Isles is a retreat for serious boaters. It's the only gated waterfront community of real scale in northern Palm Beach County that isn't also a country club, so there's no membership or initiation fee standing between you and some of the biggest docks and biggest boats in the area. A few individual streets nearby are gated, but nothing else here is a full gated neighborhood the way Harbour Isles is. Between the deep water Intracoastal frontage and the sheltered canals, which run just as deep, this is about as serious as boating real estate gets in this part of the county.

Real Estate

Homes in Harbour Isles range from roughly three bedroom, four and a half bath residences near 4,990 square feet up to larger eight bedroom estates topping 9,200 square feet, most with four car garages, private pools, and outdoor summer kitchens. Prices typically start in the mid $3 million range and have reached a record sale of $11,750,000 at the top of the market. Values keep climbing: one home is currently listed near $18 million, a new high-water mark for the neighborhood if it closes anywhere near asking price. Interiors typically feature gourmet kitchens, impact windows and doors, crown molding, and Mediterranean architectural details like arched doorways and brick paver driveways.

Waterfront & Boating

Harbour Isles holds some of the biggest docks and biggest boats anywhere in northern Palm Beach County. Homes sit on genuine deep water, whether directly on the Intracoastal Waterway or on one of the community's sheltered interior canals, which run just as deep as the main channel rather than the shallower canal water found in some nearby communities. Harbour Isles is also one of the few communities in the area without a fixed bridge standing between it and open ocean, giving residents direct, unimpeded access to both the Jupiter Inlet and the Palm Beach Inlet. Several homes have advertised docks accommodating vessels up to 70 feet, with lift capacities up to 24,000 pounds, and boats with tuna towers and fixed outriggers, which can't clear a fixed bridge, are common here.

What Makes Harbour Isles Different

Harbour Isles is the only gated waterfront community of real neighborhood scale in northern Palm Beach County that isn't also a country club. A handful of individual streets nearby carry their own gates, but Harbour Isles is a full gated community, not a single block. That means access to true deep water dockage and no-fixed-bridge ocean access without a club membership or initiation fee attached to the address.

Location & Lifestyle

Harbour Isles sits just west of North Palm Beach Country Club, home to a public golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, a longtime North Palm Beach resident. The community is surrounded by some of the area's most established private clubs, including Seminole Landing, Lost Tree Village, PGA National, BallenIsles, Mirasol, and Admirals Cove. From Harbour Isles it is a short drive to Old Port Cove's marina district, the beaches of Juno Beach and Singer Island, and roughly 15 minutes to CityPlace in West Palm Beach and Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.

Schools

Harbour Isles falls within the Palm Beach County School District. Families here often send their children to North Palm Beach Conservatory School, a public charter school built around a music and academics curriculum. Private options nearby include The Benjamin School, The Weiss School, Trinity Christian School, St. Clare Catholic School, and St. Mark's Episcopal School.

Working With Me

I work with buyers and sellers throughout Harbour Isles and the surrounding North Palm Beach waterfront market. If deep water access, no fixed bridges, and a private dock at your own home matter to how you boat, this is one of the first communities I show.
