Boynton Beach, FL
West Palm Beach Metro area General Review by 17 ye -
5/4/2008I'll start with the good stuff. The weather is great year round. Yes, summers are hot but we do have A/C. If you truly aren't heat tolerant then stay away. Otherwise you have year round outdoor activities. You will never run out of things to do. There is everything under the sun here in this area. Culture, pro sports, night life , rec activities, concerts, fairs, museums etc. May have to drive a bit to get to these activities but not that far. The beaches are beautiful and varied, each beach sort of has it's own personality. Great place for boating lifestyle, obviously.
The not so good: It is crowded here. There are people everywhere and then some. You will never be "alone". Contrary to popular belief there are some friendly people here. It's just that there is a stress level here that is high. Everyone seems "on edge". One of the main reasons I moved here (1990) was affordable housing. That is long gone. Even if prices crash more it will still be pricey for "working people". If you have a good career and make good money you're ok here but it's still pricey and stressful.
Overpopulation is a Paradise Killer though.
