DELRAY BEACH

 

 

Imagine yourself living in a place where the weather is always warm and inviting. That is what you will enjoy when you live in Delray Beach. This area of Florida is both rich in history and modern conveniences. It has all the amenities of beach life in Miami without the big city to deal with. This includes blue water, white sandy beaches, and a relatively small population of just 66,846, resulting in a tight-knit, welcoming community. However, it is close to both Miami and Fort Lauderdale, so you can venture out to enjoy the buzz and bright lights whenever your heart desires. 

 

For residents who choose to stay in Delray Beach, there's never a dull moment in this lively and thriving community. In it, you will find many things to enjoy, whether you're soaking up some sun on the beach, relaxing by your pool, or venturing out to see what the city offers.

 

 

• Mild south Florida temperatures
• Easy access to beaches and shopping districts
• Big city living without the big city vibe
• Relaxed atmosphere
  
  

 

One of the best things about Delray Beach is the skyline. It is uninterrupted by the tall buildings of nearby areas, which serves to ensure it maintains the small-town historical vibe that so many residents appreciate. It is also what gives it the nickname "Village by the Sea." With just one Main Street that never seems to sleep and the rest of the area being laid back, you get to decide how you want to spend your days.

 

With its pedestrian-style layout, you can walk to popular areas within the city while enjoying the coolness of an ocean breeze. One option is to stroll through the art district, where you can enjoy building-sized murals or stroll through an art gallery.

 

Residents of Delray Beach gravitate toward a "beach living" way of life. This means there's never a shortage of people living it up on the beach, whether jogging, walking, playing games, or just relaxing with friends and family. 

 

 

 

If it's shopping, dining, and fun you seek, Delray Beach has plenty of options. Most will start out along The Ave, which is the longest Main Street in Florida. It is here that you will find small shops, small diners, and plenty of things to explore. Not sure if you want to be in a crowd? No problem, you can still dine and explore the beautiful area of Delray Marketplace.

 

On days when only the beach will do for you, the beautiful Atlantic Dunes Park may be the place you want to explore. It is a place of beauty where you can savor fantastic sunsets and more.

 

When you want to explore a little history and learn about Delray Beach, you can take a walk through Old School Square. It also doubles as a community gathering place where people can go to enjoy various creative arts.

 

 

 

Throughout the year in Delray Beach, there are many events and festivals that liven things up. Some of the exciting things coming up include:

 

The Downtown Crafts Festival is a yearly event that is held in September. You can visit it to view fantastic works of art, as well as savory foods and crafts. However, some people would rather venture out to enjoy Art and Jazz on the Avenue. It is a yearly festival and a huge hit among the locals, which truly brings home that "small town" feel that Delray Beach is so well known for maintaining.

 

Wagstock Festival is another fun event that lasts two days. It is fully devoted to our favorite animal companions. As a bonus, you're invited to bring your fur baby and mingle with others or perhaps find a new fur baby to take home.

 

In Delray Beach, the holidays come alive with The Holiday Boat Parade. Few residents want to miss out on the beautiful Holiday Boat Parade. It takes place at Boynton Beach Inlet and allows you to see boats lavishly decorated with holiday cheer. There's no end to the decorations you will see, made more magical by the way their lights sparkle on the water.

 

 

 

Delray Beach is a great place to be for families of all sizes and ages. As a part of the Palm Beach County School District, there are plenty of learning opportunities.
