Lowell House

The Roebling Research Desk · October 2026

Lowell House is an in-town Palm Beach condominium at 340 South Ocean Boulevard, across from the public beach and a few blocks north of Worth Avenue. Its appeal is residential scale: substantial apartments, an attended building and a location that makes both the ocean and Midtown part of daily life.

At a glance

• Address: 340 South Ocean Boulevard, Town of Palm Beach
• Ownership: Condominium
• Era: 1967 in the County record and corroborating listing
• Setting: Midtown, across South Ocean Boulevard from the beach
• Residential character: Established apartments with individually renovated interiors

The County record identifies Lowell House as a condominium and records 1967 construction. That agrees with the inspected residence listing; some older building guides give a different date.

Residences

A documented two-bedroom, two-bath residence contains 2,076 square feet, demonstrating the generous room scale that can distinguish Lowell House from a more compact island pied-à-terre. An inspected fourth-floor listing describes large windows, high ceilings, an eat-in kitchen and substantial dressing and closet space. Those details describe that apartment, rather than a uniform finish package across the building.

The right comparison is between specific floor plans. A renovated kitchen, additional bathroom or reconfigured bedroom can change circulation and storage considerably. Buyers should consider where guests would sleep, whether a separate work area is needed and how the principal rooms relate to the ocean or town views. A visit also reveals the practical difference between a high-floor outlook and a lower-floor connection to the street.

Services and shared spaces

Published building information identifies door staff and a property manager, with a swimming pool, fitness room and clubroom. Published building descriptions also discuss updated common interiors and a clubroom equipped for entertaining. The service component gives Lowell a different proposition from a small unstaffed condominium, particularly for buyers who expect to arrive and settle in quickly.

What to know if buying

Do not assume a desired bedroom conversion is available in every line. The inspected listing discusses a possible reconfiguration, but a marketing suggestion is not an approval. Have a local architect assess windows, plumbing locations and circulation, then obtain the association’s renovation requirements and applicable approvals before valuing a unit on that possibility. Confirm which parking and storage spaces transfer with the apartment.
