I live three miles north of the center of town. 80% of RPB is ok, just like anywhere else.
What the areas that fall into the 20% left?

I need to know what areas are good (meaning decent people, clean, and safe) and which areas I need to stay away from!
My wife and I have a 6mo baby and were looking to move from Miami to a place with A rated schools. I found that the schools in the Wellington and Royal Palm area have great reviews/reputation (according to the greatschools website). I went with my wife to drive around the area and get a feel for it and had a realtor show us a couple of houses (we looked in Victoria Groves) and loved it. I accepted a job offer in WPB and now I'm looking for a place to rent and a good daycare. Well... now that I'm taking a closer look, all the places that I look into are very low-income, and sometimes even trashy. I am quite disappointed (not to mention worried!) because I though I was making an improvement by moving out of Miami. Everywhere I turn either in Wellington or in Royal Palm Beach I find a trashy/ghetto neighborhood with the same kind of "suspicious" people I am running away from. We make close to $70k/year (salaries combined).
Can anyone local give me an idea of where to look? Anything helps!
Thank you!
With that income you can only afford low income trashy areas anywhere in this country, which are the areas you're trying to avoid, you may do better in a third world country, try Bangladesh or Haiti...
