El Cid, located between the Intracoastal Waterway and Dixie Highway, is a historic and residential West Palm Beach neighborhood with Mediterranean Revival streetscapes and a waterfront edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along South Dixie Highway near Belvedere Road, where galleries, design studios, and chef-driven dining set a polished, walkable rhythm. Architectural details lean toward stucco facades, arched loggias, and mature canopy trees framing quiet blocks. The Lake Trail and Flagler Drive shoreline shape daily routines with long, linear views across the water. Anchors such as the Norton Museum of Art, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, and the Society of the Four Arts give the area a cultural throughline. Antique Row’s showrooms add a tactile, design-forward identity.
