Palm Springs Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
6 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Palm Springs is a roughly five-square-mile village in Palm Beach County, sitting just west of I-95 between West Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach and anchored by Palm Beach State College on its southeast edge. Much of the local apartment stock dates to the 1960s-1990s, offering some of the more affordable rents in central Palm Beach County alongside a handful of renovated and newer communities.
As of mid-2026 public listings, Palm Springs' average 1-bedroom rent runs around $1,650/month (reported up about 6% year-over-year), with older, unrenovated communities like Hillcrest-era 1960s-70s buildings pricing from roughly $1,460-$1,650, while renovated or newer-managed properties such as Palm Springs Apartments and Marvera-style builds list 1-2 bedrooms from about $1,760 up to $2,600+.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
