Wellington
Suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Rating 3.87 out of 5 224 reviews
#7 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: Wellington, FL is a great suburban family orientated area to grow up in. With many great neighborhoods and A rated schools, it's hard to not want to live here. Though it is a great place to start a family, it is far from the beach which can deter people from living here! On the bright side, Wellington is famous for its equestrian lifestyle and famous equestrian celebrities who live here, like Bill Gates and his daughter!

Lake Clarke Shores
Suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Rating 4 out of 5 14 reviews
#8 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: Lake Clarke Shores is not a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. 30 to 40 minutes north. Located in Palm Beach County. Its a small upscale town in the middle of West Palm Beach and other surrounding Cities. Has its own small government and own police force. Soon to be ocean access when lock is built, this town home prices could possibly soar but the residents love their town and most are not willing to sell. The only nightlife is when you go out to the surrounding cities, 10 minute drive, commute time to any job in Palm Beach County is excellent. There are not a lot of business in the town but you are surrounded by other city opportunities. Lots of recreation. Riding your bike around the lake, boating, fishing and jet skiing. I love it for the safety factor. The police department knows your name.

North Palm Beach
Suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Rating 4.14 out of 5 7 reviews
#10 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: Living in North Palm Beach for 16 years, I have had nothing short of a positive experience. The small suburban neighborhood, a calm hidden village residing by the beach, provides for an excellent familial-like community. Surrounding small businesses and parks embody the friendly feel that all neighborhoods should have, with a safe atmosphere that can relax the shoulders of any tense parents. The most breathtaking part, however, is the annual boat parade held on the water. Small boats will participate by decorating their helms for the holiday season, accompanied by fabulous lights and a firework show afterwards. Despite the class divide thoroughly being depicted by those who can afford million dollar mansions on the water and those who cannot, North Palm Beach is a wonderful neighborhood with many opportunities for everyone.

#14 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: I moved to S Palm last year after living in Ft Lauderdale for many years. The area feels very safe and the people are friendly. There are many places to dine and I love the new Publix grocery store at the corner of Ocean and Lantana. Overall, I’d give S Palm Beach an A+!

Tequesta
Suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Rating 3.94 out of 5 16 reviews
#19 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: Tequesta is also a suburb of world famous Palm Beach. It's a walkable, bikeable, upscale yet down-to-earth, people- and pet-friendly coastal village. Nestled between ocean, beaches, river, inlet, an historic Lighthouse, the Loxahatchee River and Jonathan Dickenson State Park. 2 miles to Jupiter's Harbourside Place, the Maltz Performing Arts center, waterfront restaurants and entertainment. 5 golf courses within a 5-mile radius.

Juno Beach
Suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Rating 5 out of 5 3 reviews
#23 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: Juno Beach is quiet, safe, and community oriented. The beaches are beautiful, and we have some nice parks and trails. As for shopping and food, it’s a bit lacking in Juno Beach proper; the majority of the time I drive to Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter to do most things, but both are very close by and convenient. There are, however, some gems such as Juno Beach Cafe, Hurricane Cafe, and Tiramisu. I enjoy the laid back atmosphere that is hard to come by in the Miami metropolitan area.

Palm Beach Shores
Suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Rating 4.75 out of 5 4 reviews
#41 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: Palm Beach Shores is by far one of the best Florida islands you could choose to live on! Located just north of Palm Beach Island, the quaint coastal town is home to local residents who enjoy its scenic beaches, delicious seafood, and unlimited outdoor activities. The island rests directly next to one of South Florida's main inlets, which welcomes hundreds of sightseeing, scuba diving, and fishing boats. The Palm Beach Inlet also provides a direct route to the various coral reefs that lay just offshore of Palm Beach Shores. These coral reefs contain exquisite sea life communities that are excellent for diving exhibitions and sport fishing trips.
The town of Palm Beach Shores itself is one of the safest communities to reside in. Comprised of only 10 streets, the town is protected by its very own Palm Beach Shores Police & Fire Department that is on duty 24/7. Our local law enforcement officers maintain residency on the island, and are not only our protectors but our neighbors as well.

Loxahatchee Groves
Suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Rating 4.07 out of 5 29 reviews
#43 Best Places to Live in Palm Beach County
Current Resident: Nice, suburb, but getting very crowded due to housing developments being added around us. They are supposed to be adding lanes to the roads but that will create even more issues getting anywhere. Much development going on when it used to be very suburban and you could ride horses in the streets. Now too busy to do that without getting hurt. Most people are very nice out here but there are some that aren't and have no regard for taking care of their home. There is always one on every block of course. Not a lot of places to eat, shop so must head east and either north or south so a minimum of 20 minutes to get to an area where you have a choice on restaurants and shopping. When it is season and the Northerners are down, it takes double the amount of time to get anywhere and there is a long wait for restaurants to dine in. Parking is hard, more accidents and the traffic is very bad. Homes are very expensive compared to other areas, insurance, taxes are high. Contractors are hard to find

Cambridge Christian School
Private School
Tampa, FL
PK, K-12
Rating 3.84 out of 5 63 reviews
Alum: In attending the school since the first grade, I was able to experience various changes over the years. Despite any sort of bump, the school was generally able to maintain a sufficient, Christian culture. I greatly appreciated the rigorous academics available to me in high school, but really wished there was more opportunities to study in the English and History areas. My teachers were always seeking my own success and were willing to do anything for me to get it. I was able to talk to teachers as friends, but also have them as mentors. Overall, I would not have wanted to graduate from anywhere else - it will forever be one of my favorite homes because of the teachers and warmth there.
