By Jozy Mozen


If the rat race is getting you down, it may be time to change your life. A great place for starting over and living a more relaxed, healthier lifestyle is Boca Raton Florida. Even if you only want a place to escape to every once in a while, this city may be the answer.

Boca, as the city is commonly called, is flanked by Fort Lauderdale in the south and West Palm Beach in the north. It lies in Palm Beach County, north of Miami. It's perfect location in South Florida makes it a popular place for people to retire to, have a holiday home or just to visit for a short beach break.

Affectionately known as Boca, the city is one of those perpetually sunny places. In summer it is hot and sticky, but thunderstorms bring welcome relief. The only drawback is that this is also hurricane season. The dry season is during winter, when minimum temperatures hover around sixty degrees Fahrenheit.

The city has three interesting museums to visit. There's the Sports Immortals Showcase Museum as well as the children's museum and the art museum. A fascinating historic site in Boca is a Native American burial mound. One of the oldest cultural institutions in the city is the acclaimed Caldwell Theatre Company.

The main attraction is the outdoors. There are several parks where you can relax and some of them have facilities like cycling paths, jungle gyms and even tennis courts. Red Reef Park is a popular snorkeling spot and also has picnic facilities for a day on the beach. In addition to the parks and beaches, you'll also find plenty of golf courses. Another option for enjoying the sun is to charter a boat and go sailing or fishing.

There is no shortage of places to shop at, from big malls to quaint little shopping centers. Take some time for a relaxing spa treatment and have a meal at one of the city's many restaurants. There's an eatery for you whether you prefer ethnic food or would rather have gourmet seafood dishes. The local restaurants cater for different budgets too. Boca is not known as a party destination and its bars and nightclubs are scattered throughout the city, with a neighborhood feel to them. However, music stars often play at one of the amphitheaters or other live music venues so you won't have to feel that you're missing out.

With many celebrities living here, Boca is quite an affluent city. Real estate varies from apartments and condos to luxury mansions in some of the world's most expensive gated communities. Before you buy, you may want to rent first. There is also a good selection of resorts and hotels for shorter stays.

See what the business or employment opportunities are like and whether the move will be financially viable. A good approach is to first spend some time here in a rental property and see whether the Boca Raton lifestyle agrees with you.
