What $1,050,000 Buys You at Haven in Palm Beach Shores — And Why the Location Matters More Than the Unit
For $1,050,000, you can own a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence just under 1,900 square feet at Haven, a boutique waterfront condo project in Palm Beach Shores.

I track new boutique condo projects up and down the South Florida coast because they tend to signal where the next wave of buyer demand is heading. Here is the full breakdown.
What Does $1,050,000 Actually Get You at Haven
This price point buys a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom unit at just under 1,900 square feet, with views overlooking the property's courtyard. Haven is a boutique waterfront condo project, meaning it's built at a smaller, more intimate scale than the high-rise towers you'll find elsewhere in South Florida — a layout and unit count designed to feel more like a residential community than a stacked tower of anonymous units.
Why Palm Beach Shores Is the Real Story Here
The bigger story isn't the specific unit — it's the town it sits in. Palm Beach Shores is one of the better small beach towns in South Florida, and it comes with a set of amenities you won't find in most coastal communities: exclusive beach access for residents, and a golf cart shuttle that will chauffeur you around the entire island. That's a level of small-town convenience that's increasingly rare on this stretch of coast.
What Makes the Waterfront Setting Different
Haven sits directly on the Intracoastal, which means your view from the pool isn't a parking lot or a neighboring building — it's Peanut Island and Phil Foster Park. That's a genuinely unusual backyard for a condo in this price range, and it's the kind of view that typically commands a premium in South Florida's waterfront market.
What the Marina Access Means for Boat Owners
Separate from the residences, Haven includes a full-service marina with 52 slips that can accommodate vessels ranging from 30 feet all the way up to 150 feet. Owners get priority access to that marina. For a boating buyer, that combination — priority slip access plus a marina capable of handling everything from a weekend boat to a serious yacht — is a meaningful differentiator versus condo buildings that only offer a handful of slips or none at all.
What This Means for Buyers Considering Palm Beach Shores
If you're comparing Palm Beach Shores to the more heavily trafficked beach towns in Palm Beach County, this is a case where a boutique building with real marina infrastructure and true walkable, golf-cart-friendly island living is available at a price point that's still accessible relative to larger oceanfront developments. For a boating buyer or someone who wants beach-town scale without high-rise density, that's a combination worth paying attention to.
Am I Bullish on Palm Beach Shores?
Yes. Small beach towns with genuine marina infrastructure and walkable, golf-cart scale are becoming harder to find in South Florida, and Palm Beach Shores still offers that combination.
