A 281-unit tower from 1978 in West Palm Beach's Northwood Shore area, reported by listing sites as 30 stories, with views across the Intracoastal Waterway to Palm Beach Island and the Atlantic. Note an address discrepancy: the state registry records 5600 N Dixie Hwy, while listing sites and the association consistently use 5600 N Flagler Drive — the parallel waterfront street one block east. Units run roughly 1,100-1,300+ sq ft, and recent upgrades reported include a new heated saltwater pool and tiki hut. Managed by FirstService Residential; small pets are welcome, and downtown West Palm's Clematis Street is about ten minutes south.

Palm Beach House was built in approximately 1978 and rises 30 floors with 281 units.
Florida condominiums of this age are subject to milestone inspection and structural reserve requirements. Our Intelligence Report covers what official city and county records show for this building, and what remains for a buyer to verify with the association.
When you buy into a condo building that's 15 or more years old — anywhere in the US — you should expect by default that an assessment, or several, is in effect or on the way: roof repairs, elevator replacement, repaving, facade work. Buildings age on a schedule, and the bill lands on the owners: often hundreds of dollars a month on top of your mortgage, HOA fee, taxes, and insurance. The unit listing rarely mentions any of it.
In Florida, the stakes for older buildings are higher still. Since the 2021 Surfside tragedy, state law requires milestone structural inspections at 30 years (25 in some coastal areas), Structural Integrity Reserve Studies, and — critically — bars associations from waiving reserve funding for structural components, ending decades of artificially low fees. Add the state's insurance surge, and many older buildings carry obligations that never appear in a listing. None of this makes an older building a bad purchase — but the difference between a well-run 1970s tower and a struggling one can be tens of thousands of dollars per unit. That's the question our building intelligence answers.
