North Shore Terrace
Drive north from Clematis Street in West Palm Beach for approximately 2.3 miles with the Intracoastal Waterway on your right (the east side), and you enter the heart of Northwood and the ungated historic suburb of North Shore Terrace (with more than a hundred single family homes on oversized lots). There are approximately thirty-three of them with direct water frontage, most of which feature yacht slips in the backyard (i.e., twenty-six), a stone's throw from an ocean inlet, and no fixed bridges.
Construction of North Shore Terrace homes began in 1925 and steadily continued, with knock-downs and radical renovations in a regenerating West Palm Beach neighborhood of homes ranging between 1,449 to over 10,000 square feet under air (UA) - two to six bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. Vistas vary from spectacular Intracoastal sparkling waters and the ocean beyond to mature tropical foliage enhanced by tall palms (or a mixture of both).
Architecture is a mixed bag, with the pre-2000 influence following Addison Mizner's coastal Mediterranean and Spanish Revival styling and the more recent projects reflecting contemporary, clean-cut lines.

13 Active Listings in North Shore Terrace
Consequently, when anyone becomes interested in North Shore Terrace homes for sale, the first question is whether one is buying only (or predominantly) for the land value with substantial renovation in mind or maintaining the residence primarily as is. As we see it, three things to consider:
- First, North Shore Terrace is not a "bells and whistles" community, evidenced by zero monthly HOA fees and amenities. Indeed, the attraction is the estate home feeling of privacy and understated wealth.
- Secondly, to add to the confusion, some sellers have remodeled with the latest onyx, marble, granite, solid/engineered wood, and space-age metal finishes on floors, countertops, appliances, and custom cabinetry. Also, they've upgraded with vaulted ceilings, high-impact glass sliders & windows, private pools, gazebos, summer kitchens, designer lighting, floating vanities, spa-like bathrooms, media rooms, and more. Logically, one doesn’t want to pay for all that only to raise the house to the ground.
- Thirdly, others have done some of the above while preserving original fireplaces, gratings, terraces, and original material across various surfaces.
Thus, prospective buyers interested in the tree-lined streets of communities like North Shore Terrace in West Palm Beach should not act without the expert advice of professional realtors like ZFC Real Estate in their corner. We know what home additions are worth paying for and what is not. Also, we have insight into knock-down values, street by street, and on the water. Think about it - a 200-dollar saving per square foot (UA) translates into hundreds of thousands of dollars when multiplied by the target residence's area (UA).
