Boynton Beach

One of the quieter cities in the Palm Beaches, when it comes to a little glitz and glamour, it’s hardly absent. Golfing is serious business to the west of the city, where well-manicured subdivisions have been basking in the Florida sun for decades. On the east side of town, the downtown is enjoying redevelopment, and savvy investors are taking advantage of some excellent investment opportunities. Farther to the east, of course, is the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. The city’s marinas launch fishing boats into fresh and salt waters, and locals are often out on paddleboards and kayaks that they launch from waterside parks — including Oceanfront Park, with its canopy-covered boardwalk. Natural and artificial reefs for diving and snorkeling are nearby, and wildlife abounds in the sawgrass of the Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge.
