Boca Raton for a city of 100k residents has EVERYTHING one could need or want to enjoy life! The gulf stream is its closest to North America along Boca's beautiful beaches, which for the most part are UNDEVELOPED. The city is quite green-oriented with a great deal of attention given to landscaped medians and thoroughfares. It is one of the wealthiest cities in the United States.
There are ample beautiful parks, bike trails, unlimited places to shop, and fantastic restaurants. It is a very diverse town with a vibrant Florida Atlantic University, Boca is located only 25 miles from both Palm Beach &Ft Lauderdale airports & a high-speed rail station under construction with direct routes to Disney will only add to the city's attractiveness. Boca isn't cheap. There is an undertone of entitlement and currently, there is a car club culture prevalent which contributes to high accident rates & extremely LOUD & illegal vehicles.

I absolutely love this city, couldn't have picked a better community to raise my kids in! Coming from MA, I was so happy to find that the school systems are much better, individual schools rated much higher. There are several choices of schools to pick from. There's also more activities for the family to do, like going to Gumbo Limbo or even just walking the beach. This city is perfect for my family and I am so very glad to be a part of this community!
The Mission Bay area in West Boca has many young families. People are friendly. Lots of walkers and dog walkers who always will give you a smile and a hello. Very safe area. I walk 5 miles alone daily in the early morning while it is still dark (before it gets too hot) and I feel very safe. Loads of restaurants and stores within a mile of my home. Everything you could ever want is here: From Home Depot to Bed Bath and Beyond...Starbucks and McDonald's to more expensive sit down restaurants. If you like pizza, there are 1 or 2 pizza places on every corner! You are close to medical care and 15 minutes from the beach. Lots of amenities in the community, too!
