Moving To Palm Beach Gardens
If you’re thinking about moving to Palm Beach Gardens, you’re in for a treat! It’s a wonderful place to live. Once you have a home in Palm Beach Gardens, you’re ready to soak in the very best of everything Florida has to offer.
The city is close enough to Miami that you still get to experience all the fun nightlife it has to offer should you feel up to it. Yet it’s far enough to feel like a gateway oasis whenever you need a break from all the city chaos. Living in Palm Beach Gardens is genuinely like getting the best of both worlds.
That’s not the only reason to love it though, the best part is that you don’t even have to leave the city to have a good time. Palm Beach Gardens is full of hidden gems and unique places to spend your afternoons in. Whether you’re looking for a romantic place for date night or a family hang out, we have you covered. Check out our list of Palm Beach Gardens places to visit below:
The Gardens Mall. Perhaps the most popular hangout stop in Palm Beach Gardens is the very luxurious and very big (1.4 million square ft.) mall. No, seriously… if you ever need anything at all, The Gardens Mall features over 150 stores that have something for everyone. If you’re a high-end luxury designer junky who can spend hours at Saks Fifth Ave or Nordstrom, they have something for you. If you’re a broke teenager who’s just looking to get out of the humidity with some friends, they have something for you. This mall has it all.
Frenchman’s Forest Natural Area. This (somewhat) hidden gem is for the nature enthusiast that enjoys the beautiful breeze of an open area and the sound of birds singing along the way. The “forest” is tucked away just outside Prosperity farms road, and it’s the perfect place to spend a day going for a stroll and having a picnic. Bonus: it is right behind the gardens mall, which means you can spend your morning out in nature and your evening shopping for stilettos. We’re telling you…best of both worlds.
Walkers Dive Charters. You rarely find an activity that locals love just as much as a tourist, but that is precisely what the Walkers Dive Charters does for its visitors. The scuba diving center is one of the most fun places to visit in Palm Beach Gardens. The best part is that the staff is famous for being super friendly and accommodating even on their busiest summer days. Be careful though, many reviewers report the experience is addicting. Before you know it, you’ll be spending all your free time and money at the dock.

A gift certificate to this beautiful resort makes a fantastic gift and even a better friend hangout.
