Lago Mar Motel and Apartments
About
Lago Mar Motel and Apartments is located at 317 North Federal Highway in Lake Worth Beach, on the northern end of the city’s Federal Highway corridor, a section of road closer to Lake Worth Beach’s downtown core and the bridge crossing into Palm Beach than the motels clustered further south on Dixie Highway. The combined “motel and apartments” naming signals a property that offers both short term motel style rooms and longer term apartment style units on the same site, a hybrid model that was common among mid century Florida roadside properties and that some independently owned operators have kept running in this form for decades.
That dual format gives Lago Mar Motel and Apartments some flexibility that a standard motel does not have: a traveler passing through for a night or two can book a motel room, while a guest planning to stay for a season, a work assignment, or a longer transitional period can take an apartment style unit instead, often at a better weekly or monthly rate than a standard motel room booked night by night. This kind of hybrid property has historically served an important role in Florida’s smaller coastal cities, filling housing gaps for seasonal workers and providing an affordable lodging option that sits between a hotel and a long term apartment lease.
The North Federal Highway location puts the property within easy reach of downtown Lake Worth Beach’s restaurant and shopping district and reasonably close to the municipal beach and fishing pier east across the Intracoastal, while also sitting near the bridge that connects into the town of Palm Beach, making it a workable base for guests who want proximity to both the mainland downtown and the barrier island without paying barrier island prices.
Lago Mar Motel and Apartments appears consistently across general business directories at this address and phone number, but no independent website or active travel platform listing was located for the property during research, and a Florida corporate registry search did not turn up a clearly matching active entity under this exact name, which is common for small hybrid motel and apartment properties that may operate under an owner’s personal name or an unrelated holding company. Given the limited independent documentation currently available, travelers or long term renters interested in this property should call directly to confirm current availability, rates, and lease terms for either the motel or apartment side of the business before making plans.
