Freelancing from Boynton Beach -experience?

Lydia Edwards Apr 1, 2026

I've lived in Downtown for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Decent public transit for the size
- The safety scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
