Lake Worth FL ZIP Code 33449: Where Amara by DiVosta Fits
In this article
Amara by DiVosta has a Lake Worth mailing address with the ZIP code 33449. That ZIP covers part of western Palm Beach County, far west of the beach town most people picture when they hear ""Lake Worth."" So if you are searching by the Lake Worth, FL ZIP code, the number you pick changes what you see. This guide explains which ZIP codes use the Lake Worth name, where 33449 fits, and what is being built new there today.
What Is the Lake Worth FL ZIP Code?
There is no single Lake Worth ZIP code. The name ""Lake Worth"" is used as a mailing name across a wide part of central Palm Beach County. Here is the short version.
The city itself changed its name. In a special election on March 12, 2019, voters in the City of Lake Worth chose to rename the city Lake Worth Beach. The vote was close, 1,386 to 1,324, as WPTV reported at the time.
The Postal Service followed for one ZIP. A USPS Postal Bulletin changed the preferred city name for ZIP 33460 from ""Lake Worth"" to ""Lake Worth Beach,"" effective August 31, 2019.
Other ZIP codes kept ""Lake Worth."" Many homes outside the city limits still get mail addressed to ""Lake Worth, FL."" Local news reported at the time that the Postal Service linked several other ZIP codes to the Lake Worth mailing name, beyond the two inside the city.
So a ""Lake Worth"" address does not always mean you live in a city. Amara's address, 10097 Amara Ranch Dr, Lake Worth, FL 33449, is a good example. Local news has described Amara's site as west of Lake Worth Beach, in western Palm Beach County. The Lake Worth name on the envelope is a mailing name, not the name of the local government.
The ZIP Codes That Use the Lake Worth Name
The list below comes from a third-party ZIP database, not from the Postal Service's own tool, so treat it as a guide and confirm any address with the USPS ZIP lookup.
ZIP | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
33449 | Standard | Amara's ZIP. Western county, near Wellington |
33460 | Standard | USPS now prefers ""Lake Worth Beach"" |
33461 | Standard | Central area; ""Lake Worth Beach"" is an accepted alias |
33462 | Standard | Eastern area near Lantana and Atlantis |
33463 | Standard | Central area near Greenacres |
33467 | Standard | Western area, west of Greenacres |
33454, 33465, 33466 | PO boxes | Mostly post office boxes |
The big takeaway: 33460 is the beach city. 33449 and 33467 are the western side, and every new single-family community with a Lake Worth address that we list below sits in one of those two ZIPs. If you want an older downtown with walkable streets, you are looking east. If you want a new home on a bigger homesite, you are mostly looking west.
Where ZIP Code 33449 Fits
ZIP 33449 sits on the far western edge of the Lake Worth mailing area. The ZIP database lists ""Wellington"" as an accepted alias for it, which tells you how close the two areas are. Amara sits on the west side of US 441, also called State Road 7, south of Hypoluxo Road. We walk through the main roads in our guide to State Road 7 and the roads near Amara.
What does that mean day to day? It means your errands and your doctor visits will often point toward Wellington and the State Road 7 corridor, not toward the beach. Groceries, shopping and the mall are along that same corridor.
If you are coming from out of state, this is the most useful thing to know. A Lake Worth address in 33449 and a Lake Worth Beach address in 33460 are two very different places to live.

How to Use a ZIP Code When You Search
ZIP codes are handy, but they are blunt tools. Here are a few tips.
Search by the ZIP and by the map. A ZIP code can cover farm land, shopping centers and neighborhoods all at once. Look at the map too.
Check who runs the area. Some Lake Worth addresses are inside a city. Others are outside any city, where the county handles local services. That changes who you call about roads, permits and local rules. The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser lets you look up any address.
Check schools by address, not ZIP. School zones do not follow ZIP lines. Use the school district's own tool for the exact address. We never name a school for an address.
Do not judge a ZIP by its average price. A ZIP with older homes and new estate homes will have a wide spread. The average tells you very little about any one home.
Visit at the time you would really drive. The roads you use each day matter more than the ZIP on the envelope.
