Lake Clarke Shores is a small, tree-lined residential town in central Palm Beach County, built around its namesake lake and a network of canals that give a real slice of homes direct water access. The pace is deliberately low-key — mostly owner-occupied single-family homes, private docks, and pool patios — yet you're minutes from the shops and commuter routes of the West Palm Beach corridor. It's the kind of place people move to and stay.
For buyers, the market is tight and priced with intent: just 17 active listings and a median list price of $699,000, with homes moving in a median of 34 days. Over the last year 59 homes sold at a median of $740,000, and sellers collected about 95% of asking — so well-priced properties don't linger. Inventory splits between waterfront homes and the townhome pockets like Wellesley at Lake Clarke Shores, with entry points near $325,000 running up to luxury homes ($1m+).
Lake Clarke Shores is in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Straight answers
Lake Clarke Shores real estate FAQs
Is Lake Clarke Shores a good place to live?+
It's a small, quiet residential town organized around its lake and canals, which is why so many homes have water access and private pools. Assigned schools include North Grade, Meadow Park, and Lake Worth Community Middle, and you're close to the wider West Palm Beach area for shopping and commuting. It suits buyers who want space and calm without leaving the county's core.
Is Lake Clarke Shores expensive?+
It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the county, with a median list price of $699,000 and an average of $384 per square foot. There's real spread, though — active listings run from $325,000 up to $1,495,000, so you can browse by price to find where you fit. Four of the current listings are priced above $1M.
What do homes cost in Lake Clarke Shores?+
The median list price is $699,000 and homes that actually closed over the last 12 months came in at a median of $740,000. At roughly $384 per square foot on a median 1,770-square-foot home, you're paying for water access and pool lots as much as square footage. Six of the active homes are waterfront homes.
How is the housing market right now?+
It's tight and active: only 17 homes are listed, and the median time on market is 34 days. Fifty-nine homes sold over the past year at about 95% of asking, so pricing is firm and well-priced listings move quickly. Keeping an eye on just reduced listings is worth it in a market this small.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Most of the town is fee-simple single-family homes, so there's no townwide HOA figure — the median property tax runs about $6,378 per year. If you're after lower-maintenance living, the townhomes & condos here, including Wellesley at Lake Clarke Shores, carry their own association dues. Always confirm dues on the specific listing before you write an offer.
