Palm Beach County is filled with charming coastal towns, and Manalapan is no exception. The town has a small population of just over 300 residents, and it prides itself on being a small and community-driven beachside location. Manalapan takes its name from Manalapan Township, New Jersey and was incorporated by Harold Stirling Vanderbilt back in 1931. It borders alongside Lantana, Lake Worth, and the Atlantic Ocean. The town is quite small and it only has about 2.4 square miles of land within the township limits.
Despite its small size, Manalapan has been an on-site movie location (Body Heat in 1981), and was a list of notable residents past and present, such as Thomas and Gloria Guinness, Don King, Yanni, and more. Manalapan is an area of Palm Beach County that is determined to stay away from corporate development and large scale enterprises. Manalapan is a community that has a rich history and looks to preserve that well into the future.
Looking for a place to call home that is quaint, quiet, and reminiscent of old Florida? Look no further than Manalapan, where residents are a small number, but the natural environment and proximity to amenities is priceless.
