I moved to Florida in 2014 on my own. My family is still in Brooklyn, New York; where I was born. I came down to Florida to go to college and to gain independence away from home. I got situated in Florida relatively quickly. I made a lot of friends and I have lived in a couple different apartments which I liked very much. The driving is sometimes a little bit rough, especially on 95. It is typically pretty crowded on the roads. But overall, I have lived in Florida for almost four years and I do like it very much. But what tops it all off is that I do very much like the weather!
I spend a lot of time in west palm, and it’s one of my favorite cities because it is very diverse and there’s things for anyone from any walk of life to do, from young to old, families with kids, or for the younger crowd. The only reason I don’t rate it 5 stars is because crime is higher than normal, especially in certain neighborhoods, but seems to be more widespread than it used to be, but it’s not bad enough to keep me away or feel unsafe especially downtown or in city place!
West Palm Beach is a nice and friendly place with exciting sights to see. I've lived here for around two years and everyday I am amazed with new places that I have never discovered, and I'm sure there are more places yet to come! And the weather is perfect in the winter if you hate the cold. The wildlife is pretty beautiful and brings a breath of fresh air to the everyday city lifestyle.
