Im working in healthcare administration, from NJ, and was wondering if Boca or any surrounding areas would be a good area for a young professional? With a budget of 1500 what do you suggest? Is it worth it?

Thanks for any feedback

Safe, clean, well run city, but renting is costly. This to me is the busiest snowbird season I can recall, traffic seems heavy in all directions at times. Would seem like a good fit for a young professional , especially one who likes the beach, golf, tennis, etc. I'm East of 95, can walk to shopping, beach, library so I would recommend this area if you want to drive less. But really, you can't go wrong anywhere in Boca imo.... For OP who's coming from NJ to Boca I wouldn't hesitate to make the move, it's definitely worth it. I still own in Staten Island but the quality of life in Boca far exceeds the NY-NJ metro area for me. Boca is below the Gulf Stream protecting the coastal area from a serious freeze, recent cold snap here was refreshing for me.I've yet to turn my heat on...Tropical Paradise with a nice little city & all the amenities ,,,Good luck...

You haven't provided enough info for a real answer. Hobbies? Likes? Dislikes? Other cost factors?

Playing tennis, swimming/running on beach are some hobbies I guess..

Likes : Warm weather, being around a relatively (I know there are lots of retirement areas) young crowd
Dislikes: Obviously traffic (living in the NY metro I can handle it though)

Honestly don't have too many dislikes

I read that the average age is about 46. I also read this----- Either all of the old people slowly dozing off to die moved onto another existential plane, or it may simply be the fact that Boca Raton, Florida has been transforming itself into a destination for modern families, couples and vacation seekers. Away from the hustle-and-bustle of Miami, but close enough to drive ...
