What makes West Palm Beach cost more
A local move is crew hours, so the question is always what the housing here does to those hours. Palm Beach County is dense with gated communities and condo associations that require a filed certificate of insurance, an approved move-in date, and guard-gate clearance, and many restrict moves to weekday hours.
Net of all that, West Palm Beach prices 6% above the national average. The same 2-bedroom local move that typically costs $1,075 nationally runs $1,150 in West Palm Beach, a difference of $75 more.
