The Old Northwood Historic District is one of the most beautiful and friendly neighborhoods in West Palm Beach. Its distinguished architecture—Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style—reflect the historic development era of the mid-1920s made famous by Addison Mizner throughout South Florida. Builders associated with the famed architect carried his vision of design and scale from Palm Beach to the eastern shore of Lake Worth where Old Northwood began. The architects and builders of the 1920s—like John Volk, William King, and Henry Harvey—built their homes here and left an indelible mark on Old Northwood. Many of these historic homes have been completely restored in recent decades. Northwood has homes for sale and for rent.
