State Road 7 Near Amara: The Roads That Connect West Lake Worth

State Road 7 is the main north-south road on the western edge of central Palm Beach County, and Amara by DiVosta sits on its west side, south of Hypoluxo Road. Along this stretch, State Road 7 and US 441 are the same road. From Amara, the big east-west roads you will use most are Hypoluxo Road, Boynton Beach Boulevard, Lantana Road and Lake Worth Road. Florida's Turnpike has interchanges at Boynton Beach Boulevard (Exit 86) and Lake Worth Road (Exit 93). Here is how the roads fit together, with no guessed drive times.

State Road 7 and US 441: One Road, Two Names

In southern Palm Beach County, US 441 and State Road 7 share the same pavement. That is why you will see both names on signs and maps. Route listings show that US 441 leaves State Road 7 at Southern Boulevard in Royal Palm Beach and turns west. North of Southern Boulevard, the road keeps the State Road 7 name alone up to Okeechobee Boulevard.

So near Amara, ""441"" and ""State Road 7"" mean the same thing. Your address may use either one in directions.
