I have lived in West Palm Beach my entire life and so far I do not have much to complain about. It is a fairly nice city to live in, there is a lot of diversity and many things are new. However, the only thing I would say needs improvement is the attractions and things to do. We do not really have any tourist attractions or outings except for the beach. We really do have nice beaches though!
Sunshine, Beaches, amusement parks! West Palm Beach, Florida has everything to attract people from other states and countries. Every day here feels like a summer day. We're one of the most known cities in the world. This is because we tend to take care of our city, show it off and love to live in it. I was born and raised in such a paradise-setting environment. This city is also very helpful. Anything you need is literally right around the corner. People love to visit for vacation! I can't see myself living anywhere else. This is my home.
West Palm Beach is not only a great tourist destination, but it is also a wonderful place to live. There is so much to do here! Within a 10 mile radius you have the beach, the outlets, restaurants, bowling, and occasionally concerts green markets. It makes you appreciate where you live and all the fun activities you can take part in throughout the week or even during the weekend. I have never lived anywhere besides here and it's safe to say that out of all the places I've visited, there is no place like home.
