Identifying the features of a city that make people feel at home is a tough ask. It is unlikely to get two people to agree exactly on this diverse subject, yet it is clear that some cities certainly have more appeal than others. Delray Beach Florida falls into this category and has increasingly become the preferred choice for many new residents.
Certain of these features will be psychological matters emanating from emotive factors and the way people feel. Yet equally valid are matters like the physical development of a city. This little city scores particularly well in this area.
Population growth from just under a thousand in 1910 to the present just over 64 000 has to indicate some true potential. There is history and culture here, involving Native Americans, hunters, trappers and runaway slaves that dates back to the eighteenth century. There is clearly a future too and following are some of the many reasons and attractions that prompt people to make their futures here.
With average temperatures ranging from the mid fifties in winter to a balmy 90 degrees in summer some people say this is reason enough to want to live here. Naturally such a delightful climate lends itself to the miles of public beaches and related water sports such as snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing and fishing. Sport is big here. Golf, tennis and many other sports flourish. An ATP World Tour 250 Series men's tennis tournament is now an annual event.
A network of canals and lakes provide a water based playground for those not keen on the open sea. Property development around this resource is highly developed. There are some stunning housing estates alongside these waterways with new developments ongoing. Commuting to the town centre is very possible by means of the Intracoastal Waterway. The property market is very much alive and well and wide price ranges will suit both newcomers to the market as well as those looking for second or retirement property opportunities.
Many a seaside town has been described as a fun and happy town but how many have the credentials to prove it. Coastal living listed this town amongst the 2015 Happiest Seaside Towns. USA Today and Rand McNally have named it Most Fun Small Town in recent publications and websites.
In terms of sophistication and infrastructure there are outstanding medical, educational and municipal services. Fifty four separate educational institutions and seven major medical facilities. With excellent road, rail links and major airports within easy reach, one could say that there are all the conveniences of a large city without the hassle. Focused and efficient, the town management seem to maintain the right balance between regulation and freedom and maintain high municipal standards.
Naturally shopping is an integral part of Florida living and shoppers here will find every kind of shop imaginable. From an extensive mall to the intimate boutiques, antique specialists jewelry and art galleries of the famous Atlantic Avenue, even the most ardent shopaholic will not be disappointed. For those who find retail therapy simply too tiring, the cafes, clubs, bars and restaurants are all that is required for a satisfying day or evening out. A festival or parade could still liven things up however.
Many conclusions can be drawn about The Village by the Sea. Village atmosphere yes, village friendliness yes, but big town benefits well worth discovering.
