North Palm Beach Heights is a residential subdivision in Jupiter, Florida.

It is located at Latitude 26 53'59.71N and 80 7'57.57W. North of Donald Ross Road, west of Abacoa, south of Egret Landing and east of interstate 95 in Palm Beach County, FL. Ranch style single family houses are the most popular homes, but there are two story homes as well as two family homes in the southern end of the neighborhood. The primary lot size is 60' by 100' but there are some odd shaped parcels and oversized corner lots.

[edit] History

Its origins date back 1956 when a developer named G. Frank Croissant bought the property and hired E. Elliot Gross and Associates of West Palm Beach, FL to plan the neighborhood. G. Frank Croissant also developed Calumet City, IL and Croissant Park in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Mr. Croissant died in late 1956.

In 1958 the North Palm Beach Heights Water Control District was created by the Florida State Legislature. This 298 district was allowed to float bonds to build infrastructure. The NPBHWCD filed plats for North Palm Beach Heights Section 1, 2a, and 2b with Palm Beach County. It also paved the streets in those sections in the late 1950s.

Due to its lack of city water and sewer system development was hampered for years. The first homes were built in the early 1980s. In 1987, Interstate 95 was routed through the western 500' or so of the neighborhood. Around the same time, the North Palm Beach Heights Water Control District floated new bonds for a city water hookup, a sewer system, re-pavement of the old roads in the southern sections and the paving of the unrecorded sections of North Palm Beach Heights Section 3 and AM-45. The Jupiter Water System was chosen for city water supply and the Loxahatchee River District handles the sewer.

Most of the homes were built after the water and sewer systems were installed in 1987. Currently the neighborhood is almost built out.

In 2000 North Palm Beach Heights was incorporated into the Town of Jupiter. The town, along with neighborhood residents created a neighborhood group called The Friends of North Palm Beach Heights. The Friends of North Palm Beach Heights obtained grants to beautify the entrance of the development with landscaping. It was also involved in the design of the North Palm Beach Heights neighborhood park.
