Lake Worth Apartments for Rent

Lake Worth Welcomes You with Open Streets

According to local myth, the city of Lake Worth, Florida, was founded by a freed slave couple back in the 1880s. They opened a post office named ""Jewel"" here, and the rest is history. Today, Lake Worth is a solidly affordable town that would be notable for its palm trees, sunshine, and warm weather if it weren't for the fact that these things are all common features of Florida towns.

The Bare Essentials

Lake Worth is ""Where the Tropics Begin."" This slogan, while not technically correct, isn’t too far off, seeing as how Lake Worth is in the humid subtropical zone. It isn’t as tropical as the Caribbean, or anything, but it’s a start. Hey! Maybe it is “Where the Tropics Begin” after all.

With around 37,000 residents in 7 square miles, Lake Worth is medium-sized city with plenty of room for its residents to spread out. It’s proud of its success at staving off high-rise development to preserve its small-town charm. We see what they mean. Do you?

Lake Worth has a diverse population. The area’s earliest European settlers hailed from Finland and, according to some anonymous contributors to this site, when the Finnish population in Lake Worth is combined with that of neighboring city, Lantana, it becomes the largest Finnish community in the United States. Lake Worth even celebrates Finlandia Days. We're pretty sure you don't have to be of Finnish origin to participate so, as they say in Finland, “Kippis!”

Notable residents of Lake Worth have included two very different women: radical feminist Robin Morgan and adult film star Nicki Hunter. We wonder if they ever shoot the breeze at the local coffee shop.

Lake Worth Surf n' Turf

Since Lake Worth is a city with both land and sea, it should come as no surprise that you can, in fact, have your surf n’ turf and eat it too. Where can you go to feast on the animals of the land and sea? Why, Surf & Turf Gourmet, of course. The name says it all. If you get tired of this establishment, there are many other delectable and highly selectable eateries to try out. Surf n’ turf can be a heavy combination, so whatever you do, wait at least 30 minutes before going for a swim in the Atlantic.

If you’re a fan of outdoor activities, Lake Worth's parks are not to be missed. You can visit the beach to play in the water, lounge on the sand, and walk along the pier. Bryant Park, downtown, is home to boat loads of fun. There are even celebration in the park, including the Street Painting Festival, where the public is invited to partake in an impromptu painting party with materials that have been provided by some generous donors. Lake Worth is also home to a boardwalk and a fishing pier that allow residents to explore the Intracoastal Waterway. This is a sweet place to live so we hope you secure that Lake Worth apartment pronto!
