Not so long ago, Miami-Dade was a story of east — the sprawling Beach — and a mainland of undifferentiated suburbs, centered by a central business district that shut down at 5 p.m. Today the county increasingly is coalescing around a series of urban villages or centers — compact, pedestrian-friendly places where people can live, shop or dine out, even work or go to school, with few or mercifully short trips by car. Here's a look at South Florida's burgeoning neighborhoods and classic destinations, from Miami-Dade north to Palm Beach.
Boca Raton, familiarly known to locals by its first name "Boca," truly has it all. Beaches and golf courses; fine hotels and wondrous art museums (and the Festival of the Arts BOCA); jazz clubs and concerts at Mizner Park; the glittery Town Center at Boca Raton shopping mall, with 220 upscale and elite specialty shops; and, elsewhere around town, countless family-owned boutiques.
Boynton Beach is a city located in Palm Beach County, which is known for its tropical lifestyle, waterfront dining, outdoor shopping centers, regional mall, and water-sports activities. With the city's abundance of restaurants, shops, and lively entertainment, it truly offers a quality way of living.
Palm Beach, originally established as a resort by visionary Henry Flagler, has become an enchanting resort with European sophistication of inimitable style and grace. Its famous Worth Avenue is said to be one of the poshest shopping venues in the country. Its glitzy oceanfront mansions include Mar-A-Lago, vacation home of President Trump.
West Palm Beach represents coastal city living at it’s finest. This lively, artsy, downtown scene is always booming with activity. Driving through the historic downtown neighborhoods you’ll be greeted with beautiful streets lined with tall palm trees, vibrant colors, and a city of people who truly love where they live. The city is surrounded with condos and houses that outline the skyline and overlook the beautiful intracoastal waters of West Palm Beach.
