Delray Beach Florida Has That Extra Something

By Jony Mozen


Describing the aspects of a town that create a homely feeling is a difficult task. Seldom will several individuals reach agreement regards this complicated issue, however, certain towns are attracting more attention. The trend reveals Delray Beach Florida to be amongst those attracting an increasing number of resident dwellers.

Some aspects will always be intangible issues arising from individual feelings and emotions. But certainly physical features such as facilities and infrastructure also play a part. This coastal gem can really hold its own in this department.

Population growth from just under a thousand in 1910 to the present just over 64 000 has to indicate some true potential. There is history and culture here, involving Native Americans, hunters, trappers and runaway slaves that dates back to the eighteenth century. There is clearly a future too and following are some of the many reasons and attractions that prompt people to make their futures here.

The weather maybe what is particularly attractive for some. Summer temperatures can rise to a glorious degrees whilst in the cooler months temperatures seldom go below fifty five. Naturally such favorable weather makes the regions extensive beaches very popular. Snorkeling, boating, deep sea angling are just some of what attract people. Organized sporting events include an ATP World Tour Event for men now geld every year and of course golf is ever popular.

A network of canals and lakes provide a water based playground for those not keen on the open sea. Property development around this resource is highly developed. There are some stunning housing estates alongside these waterways with new developments ongoing. Commuting to the town centre is very possible by means of the Intracoastal Waterway. The property market is very much alive and well and wide price ranges will suit both newcomers to the market as well as those looking for second or retirement property opportunities.

Known to be a fun and happy town. Sure any destination can claim this, except here it is a fact backed up by those who know about these things. Selected by Coastal Living as one of 2015 Happiest Seaside Towns in America and Most Fun Small Town by Rand McNally and USA Today.

Development has not taken a back seat either. Medical, education and city management all maintain high standards. More than 50 individual education centers have been established and 7 health centers keep a watch over medical matters. Road and railways tie up easily to the major networks and neighboring city airport facilities provide more than adequate air travel links. The city is well managed yet not over regulated, offering high service level standards.

Of course no Florida town would be complete without an abundance of shops and malls and here residents will not be disappointed. Centers such as Delray Market and The Gardens Mall will provide intensive shopping experiences. A delightful alternative is downtown Atlantic Avenue with its mind boggling number of boutique, jewelry, antique outlets and galleries. Regular festivals, parades and live music provide highlights but for many just taking it easy amongst the bars and clubs is already a highlight.

Many conclusions can be drawn about The Village by the Sea. Village atmosphere yes, village friendliness yes, but big town benefits well worth discovering.
