Identifying the features of a city that make people feel at home is a tough ask. It is unlikely to get two people to agree exactly on this diverse subject, yet it is clear that some cities certainly have more appeal than others. Delray Beach Florida falls into this category and has increasingly become the preferred choice for many new residents.
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.
In 1910 the number of people living in this area was below one thousand. At present it is slightly above 64000 so clearly there has been growth and for good reason. There are also strong historical groundings from the eighteen hundreds involving Native Americans, and even groups of runaway slaves. Future potential in the area is tangible, and for good reason.
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.
In terms of sophistication and infrastructure there are outstanding medical, educational and municipal services. Fifty four separate educational institutions and seven major medical facilities. With excellent road, rail links and major airports within easy reach, one could say that there are all the conveniences of a large city without the hassle. Focused and efficient, the town management seem to maintain the right balance between regulation and freedom and maintain high municipal 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 impressions remain regards this place often named the village by the sea. Certainly there is a village type air and sociability about the place. Yet there are also many plus factors of a thriving city worth investigating.
