Luxury Real Estate in Manalapan, FL
Barrier-island estates between the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon
Living & Buying in Manalapan
Manalapan is a small barrier-island town between the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon, just south of the Town of Palm Beach. Inventory is thin: custom oceanfront, lagoon-front, and Point Manalapan estates.
High-end clients search the town and the point by name. Legal plat labels (Hypoluxo Beach Map, commissioners maps) are not separate communities.
James Simpson with Illustrated Properties helps buyers and sellers compare Manalapan with Palm Beach Island, Gulf Stream, and Delray without blending those markets into one number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Manalapan real estate — clear answers for buyers and sellers.
Is Point Manalapan the same as Palm Beach?
No. Point Manalapan is in the Town of Manalapan, south of Palm Beach Island. Buyers who want that address should search Manalapan — not the Town of Palm Beach district pages.
What is Hypoluxo Beach?
A named beach / lagoon pocket next to Manalapan. MLS often prints Hypoluxo Beach Map on the plat. It is not a Palm Beach Island neighborhood.
