Property taxes
✓ Based on certified county tax rollMany first-time Florida buyers are surprised when property taxes jump after closing. This estimate helps you budget before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment doesn’t transfer to a new buyer.

About this home
Undoubtedly one of the most desirable locations in all of West Palm Beach! Just one property off Flagler Drive and the Intracoastal, this rare street-to-street estate on an oversized lot is just three blocks from the vibrant NORA District and minutes to Palm Beach, CityPlace and the heart of downtown West Palm Beach. This restored 1930s Mediterranean Revival residence and guest house encompass approximately 4,800 total square feet.
The four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath main home features a light-filled living room with fireplace, dining room with French doors to the pool patio, and a sun-drenched drawing room overlooking the manicured gardens and fountain. The island kitchen opens to the poolside loggia and the primary bedroom occupies its own private wing. The three upstairs bedrooms enjoy tranquil water views.
A two-unit guest house - with ensuite bedrooms and kitchens - offers exceptional flexibility for guests, rental income, or use as a poolside cabana. The detached two-car garage with rooftop deck captures Intracoastal views and breezes. Quietly residential yet remarkably connected, the home sits close enough to enjoy marina views, Flagler Drive's waterfront energy, and the convenience of downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Island, without sacrificing privacy.
The expansive 14,000± square-foot estate lot is framed by tropical mature landscaping and offers flexible zoning with potential to subdivide—an increasingly scarce opportunity to live, invest, or create a custom waterfront-adjacent residence as the neighborhood continues to rise. The setting is as strategic as it is beautiful. Along the Intracoastal waterway new construction luxury condominiums and the nearby Currie Park and Rybovich Marina projects are reshaping the waterfront skyline.
Together, these improvements highlight the momentum of the corridor—and the lasting value of a substantial private lot just off Flagler in historic Providencia Park. In addition, this location puts dining, culture, shopping, and island access within effortless reach. Convenient access to I-95 and Donald J.
Trump International Airport.

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $4,195,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1930 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
- The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 1 active listing competing
- 2 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $4,195,000 ($1,108/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 228 9TH Street, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1930 (96 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Palm Beach County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
- Listed living area is 3,786 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $44,048/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
