There’s something to be said about a city that’s won The All American City Award three times: 1993, 2001 and 2017. Delray Beach is the only city in Florida to win this many times. It all begins with strong civic engagement amongst residents, business and leaders. That’s what’s made the city favorable for development, tourism, and a great place to call home. And, this makes it easy for the Delray Beach Real Estate Guide to showcase some top reasons why. From our world-famous beach that extends over 1.5 miles with easy access for surfers, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kiteboarding, sailing and sand volleyball. The west side is where you’ll find country clubs, schools, horse stables, shopping, the beginning of the everglades and more of a suburban feel. But when you step in the “east side” you’re greeted with some of the best – and plentiful – restaurants in South Florida, entertainment and a more vibrant lifestyle. This is where the Delray Beach art scene explodes. You’ll find alleys filled with murals, a downtown area with live entertainment, the largest food hall in South Florida, parks, and the famous Atlantic Avenue. You get all this in a city that borders Boca Raton to the south and Palm Beach just 15 minutes north. And, Delray has easy access to two international airports within 30 minutes on either side.
Over time I’ll be adding neighbor tours to this Delray Beach Real Estate Guide. To start have a look at one neighborhood that’s exploding right now. Osceola Park is in the heart of Delray extending south from Atlantic Ave to 10th St and from the train tracks to 6th Ave. Check out that link for a comprehensive overview.
Now take a look at The West Settlers Historic District. This large neighborhood plays an integral part in Delray’s culture and history and is a centrally located place to call home.
And if you’re looking for a fine country club, Seagate Country Club must be on your list. With some of the finest golf around, tennis, and access to their downtown hotel and beach club, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Let the Delray Beach Real Estate Guide show you what makes Delray Beach a perfect place to call home…
It’s one of the biggest draws to Delray Beach – food. And I’m talking about some of the finest cuisine available. The Delray Beach Real Estate Guide is proud to bring you a long list of epicurean food experiences (but not comprehensive). With about 29 restaurants on Atlantic Avenue, over 15 along Pineapple Grove, and more strewn throughout the side streets, your palate will have a frenzy… start with these:
… and over 20 food options inside Delray Beach Market. There’s a lot more, but this should wet your whistle to get started.
Delray Beach is rich in history. The best place to learn all about it is via the Delray Beach Historical Society. When you visit their site you’ll learn about importance of our multi-cultural community with roots that go back well over one hundred year. Places like West Settlers District, Marina Historic District, Old School Square Historic Arts District and more. Folks like George Green, a shipper and Solomon Spady, an educator, shaped Delray’s early years. If you haven’t stopped by Spady Museum, please do.
Today, Delray Beach is a vibrant place for the arts and entertainment. Here are some invigorating spots the Delray Beach Real Estate Guide says to visit on any trip: Arts Garage, Cornell Art Museum, and Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens.
And Delray’s future is full is spectacular developments that will make its 2020 decade one of the most astounding of all. The recent opening of the plush hotel, The Ray, in Pineapple Grove Arts District set the stage. Next up in 2022 and 2023 is Atlantic Crossing – a mix of condos, apartments, retail, restaurants and office spaces. And set to open in late 2023 is Sundy Village. Located at the epicenter of Delray Beach, it’ll be a combination where restored historic buildings, office space, restaurants and shopping converge. The Delray Beach Real Estate Guide will have full updates on these and more as the decade ensues…
