Will be visiting FL in March with my wife to scout out places to move and would love some suggestions/advice on where to check out.

-Moving from Phoenix to be closer to, but not necessarily neighbors with, family scattered throughout FL.

-Love the beach, water, wildlife, outdoors, eating/drinking

-Like the idea of walking/biking from home to beach, restaurants, bars

-Need reasonable proximity to Metro area for work opportunities (Nurse Practitioner and a Headhunter)

- ~40 yrs. old, No kids, 1 small dog

-Would rent first

Delray beach has popped up on a few searches. West Palm sounds like another possibility. Not limiting it to any particular area, as long as it's in the state and near the water.

Thanks in advance for your help!

-Mike

Delray would be great, Boca down by Mizner Park.
Jupiter/Palm Beach Gardens are nice as well but not as walkable.

In Palm Beach County, the only real places for a walkable/bike able lifestyle really are: Delray Beach (east) and West Palm Beach (east), as well as Palm Beach Island (where you can get to and from West Palm for bars and restaurants easily).

Lake Worth too, if you're budget is lower and your tolerance higher for transitional places.

Also check into the Stuart/Jensen Beach area. Big healthcare circuit there and quaint downtown, great beaches. Cheaper than Palm Beach area.

Good budget. Enough to pretty much live anywhere along the coast in Florida.

Miami Beach is closer to a larger variety of jobs and is a great beach town. I live in Boca (nice beach) and am not a big fan of Delray Beach.

Just anecdotal, but the Delray Beach hospital is one I have heard a lot of negatives about. Just check ratings online to see if there is anything to the stories I have heard about understaffing.

Thanks, that's encouraging! Looking at some 2BR/2BA Delray rentals online, I worry we might be a little short @ $2k.
