Old town offers shops and art galleries from one end of the spectrum to the other. The exceptional diversity in restaurants reflect the numerous countries of origins of the residents as well as contemporary trends in cuisine. Bars and nightclubs serve up a variety of entertainment from the Hog's Breath Saloon, Sloppy Joe's and Green Parrot to Aqua and La Te Da. Old Town also has excellent theater companies with the Waterfront Playhouse, Red Barn Theatre and Fringe Theater.

New Town is located on the eastern side of the island, and roughly defined as the part of the island that is east of 1st Street and north of Flagler Avenue. It's estimated that just under 9,000 people reside in New Town.

Midtown is located in the geographical center of the island, and is roughly bounded by North Roosevelt Boulevard (U.S. Route 1), Leon Street, Atlantic Avenue and 1st Street.

Casa Marina is a beautiful neighborhood bounded by United, Vernon and White Streets, Atlantic Boulevard and Steven Avenue. It is named for Henry Flagler's hotel of the same name in the area.
