Living in Palm Beach County is paradise. In the summer the ocean is warm for swimming 80-85 degrees. You can drift around in the water on a noodle or floatie and never get cold. No need to bring a towel - when you leave the water the sun keeps you warm and you dry off quickly. Bring a beach umbrella and a cover ups and pleanty of sunblock. A large brimmed hat and you can float in the ocean all day. Try and do that in the northern ocean water. Up there, even in summer you can't stay in the water as long without turning blue.
When you live here you can drive all along Ocean Blvd and we get to enjoy all the wonderful beaches, Boynton Beach at the Inlet, Manalapan, Delray Beach are very popular, as are, Lantana Beach, and Ocean Ridge. The beaches in Palm Beach proper are nice and I have a favorite I can't reveal, but I prefer the quieter beaches with the long stretches of beach to walk along the water and search for treasure or pretty stones and shells.
Today is warm and sunny. A great beach day. the kids went back to school last Monday. They had the next day off due to Tropical Storm Fay. Melbourne FL received over 30 inched of rain!
A best kept secret is how fantastic it is here in summer. If you are thinking of living in South Florida year 'round you won't be disappointed. If you love the water and being outdoors, you love boating, fishing and plain 'ol lying out in the sun and sand, then you will enjoy being here.
I live in Lake Worth, FL and here we have our own beach with casino and fishing pier. There is also a recently re-furbished Olympic pool right ther at the beach! Lake Worth is right next door to South Palm Beach. Along that stretch of South Palm are many lovely condominiums. Unlike Miami Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach has kept the hieght of these buildings lower. So that the typical condo building is more like 6-8 stories tall. You can actually drive along A1A along the Intracoastal and see the water. Something you can't do in most of Florida uml;ess you get up around Daytona but the beach and the area there i not like here.
The condos in South Palm are plentiful and in this market we are seeing some terrific buys. One thing to keep in mind is this: if you are selling for less in this market you will also be purchasing for less! We as Realtors have to keep on making a point of this to our customers.
