The neighborhood
1920s streets, south of downtown.
El Cid lies just south of downtown West Palm Beach, between South Flagler Drive on the Lake Worth Lagoon and South Dixie Highway, from Flamingo Drive south to Dyer Road. The El Cid Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, and most of its houses were built in the 1920s in Mediterranean Revival and Mission styles.
The street names follow the theme: Barcelona, Cordova, Granada and Valencia Roads all had sales in the last 12 months. It is a small market. Eleven houses closed in the Beaches MLS in that time and four were for sale on November 12, 2026.
Prices are well above the city's. The median El Cid house sold for $3,600,000, against $530,000 for the city of West Palm Beach as a whole. None of the 11 sales is marked waterfront in the MLS; South Flagler Drive runs along the lagoon at the neighborhood's eastern edge.
