Considering Delray Beach vs St. Louis -help me decide
Anyone else feel this way? I grew up here but left for a while. You can expect to pay around $1,914 for rent here. Household incomes average around $79,393 in Delray Beach. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Would love some local perspective. Cheers. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Midtown. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in consulting. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Weather-wise, the summers are tough and winters are developing. You get used to it after the first year.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 6 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Fairview side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are surprisingly good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
