NFT: Delray Beach Florida

OBJ_AllDay : 3/23/2018 1:47 pm
Anyone ever been? Going in late April staying at crane beach house. Looking for any and all Recs for the area as I have never been. I’m hoping it has a similar vibe to the keys...

Atlantic Ave most of the time and you'll have fun. A lot of bars/restaurants and shops.
we're planning on buying down there

so I can spend next winter someplace nice. Just starting to look at real estate now. Any local experts?
Stay on the “Ave”

And you’ll be fine. Boca is an exit away. W Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale are 20 min away in either direction. Fantastic area.

I am as about as local as it gets for the area your talking about I live about 5 minutes from there. Is a different feel than the keys. I prefer Deerfield Beach, for just the beach and areas around it to go chill at. But downtown Delray is real cool.

As for Delray. I go to Hideaway bar for games sometimes. Its tough to find that's why they call it Hideaway bar. But Boston's should do just fine right there off the beach. There's a ton of restaurants and bars on Atlantic ave down to Swinton. Should be able to find your spot.

Also check out Ocean One Grill , Their 5 dollar lunch menu till 4:30 pm everyday cannot be beat. If you like Cigars, Smoke Inn across from Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza off atlantic and N Federal HWY is the place I go. Hope this helps you on your travels.

any areas/streets locations NOT to look at for safe and convenient second home?

We're fine having to drive to the beach or downtown but I saw some houses that were so cheap compared to others that they must be near meth labs or on a toxic dump.

Nothing like the Keys except may be the crowds in Key West

May be more like Long Beach, LI without any boardwalk.
If i was

Buying the further east you go towards A1A is better but more $. After intercoastal and swinton areas off atlantic i would not live. If you want good close to beach but a drive anything lil north and west of atlantic and congress should be ok. Or just live in Boca Raton...its great : )
Oghwha: look a little further north in northern Palm Beach County  
Ivan15 : 3/23/2018 3:14 pm : link
Or in Martin County if you want to be close to the beach and don’t want the urban feel.

Singer Island, Juno Beach, Jupiter, Tequesta, Hobe Sound, Port Salerno, Stuart, Sewell’s Point, Jensen Beach.

If you want to speak with an agent down in Florida let me know. I work for a real estate company down here (I'm not an agent) and can put you in touch with an expert in the specific areas you are looking at. We cover all of Central to South Florida and my office is in Boca.

Depends on what you are looking for in an area for a second home. I live in Parkland which is more family oriented and younger but more west. East Boca is nice but is more expensive. I personally like being more west.

I like Delray

Have a lot of family in Delray and Lake Worth. Someone mentioned Boston's, my little cousin used to work there (he still might, I just haven't been back down in a couple of years so I don't know).
