Are you ready to move to Vegas  |
Sounds like you have it down pat! The areas you are looking at in Parkland are very low crime, and so are most of the areas surrounding it, so do not let crime be a concern, consdering you came out of Vegas (relatively) unscathed!Coral Springs south of it is the 10th safest city in the United States, Coconut Creek has a very low crime rate east, Boca is not bad North, and you have everglades west. Honestly, the crime really is not that bad unless you start heading into areas that you have no reason to be in in the first place (at least in Broward, in PBC the crime situation is a lot more serious). It's a great choice overall here, but you may not find the high levels of sophistication you are looking for here versus that region, and family could end up being of higher importance than anything else. Either way, best of luck!
