Lake Clarke Shores is a town in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The population was
3,451 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 3,475.

Lake Clarke Shores developed from a community of a few homes on the shores of Lake Clarke. The
improvement of Selby Road and connection to
Forest Hill Boulevard eastward from Florida Mango
Road
(Selby Road was later renamed as the western portion of Forest Hill Boulevard) via a bridge over
the
West Palm Beach Canal in the 1950s encouraged large scale development. The off-center
connection of Selby Road to
Forest Hill Boulevard explains the sweeping curve of Forest Hill Boulevard
through the town. Large scale development also required dredging of canals and bulkheading nearly
the entire shore of
Lake Clarke. Development had occurred at such rate that by 1957 the community
incorporated as a town. The original town hall and police station was located at southeast corner of
Pine Tree Lane and Forest Hill Boulevard before being relocated to the present Barbados Road
location in the late 1970s. The 1970s and 1980s saw additional, non-residential development occur in
the town along
Forest Hill Boulevard, as well as street lighting and signage improvements on the
town's residential streets. Many interesting examples of "retro" 1950s and 1960s architecture can be
found on some homes, particularly close to
Forest Hill Boulevard. Other stately homes are located
directly on the lake.

Somewhat unusual for a community of its size, the town maintains its own police force, while other
larger communities have opted to contract out with the
Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department for
public safety.

Since 2000, the town's proximity Interstate 95 and the trendy downtowns of both
West Palm Beach
and
Lake Worth, as well as its leafy streets and well maintained housing stock, has led to a fast
acceleration in housing prices. Despite this recent trend,
Lake Clarke Shores has maintained itself,
as it has throughout its history, as an attractive residential enclave that is attainable to middle as well
as more upper income households.
