That would be Haulover Beach, wouldn't it?
Property in Wilton Manors is also $$$$$$$$$

I live in Delray Beach area, about 20 mins north of FTL. Its fine
there, the
city is huge you can live just about anywhere around there and still
be
10-15 mins from your office.
If you want family stuff, areas like Plantation, Weston (way west),
Boca
Raton are a good choice, if you are gay you will want to live around
Wilton
Manors, if you are a beach goer you live right along the water, if
you are
poor you live somewhere 1-2 miles west of the ocean to I95. If you
are a
boater you have a condo or TH with deep water access in a canal
somewhere
near the water but not on it. If you are wealthy you live off Las
Olas and
the Intra coastal, a little strip of area along Pompano Beach
(Lighthouse
Point) or in one of three key areas of Boca Raton.
If you are single then the rest of the land is yours ;). Downtown
FTL offers
several high rise condos that have ocean views and you can walk to
all the
bars. Deerfield Beach a few miles North is where a lot of younger
people
are, you can hit the scene there and find a lot of 'college girl
types'.
Also a lot less expensive living with similar amenities.
Delray Beach has one of the larger concentrations of party goers in
one
street (IMO). The only place you will find a guy asking for a
handout, the
street lined with benz/bmw's, and a drug dealer in every bar, oh not
to
mention everyone that works in those bars is in some program or
another
(Delray leads the nation I think in rehab programs). It makes for very
interesting night life. Don't get lost though, two blocks away is some
pretty bad ghettos. Oh yah all tucked inside this little 'strip' are
500-750k townhouses and condos. (The beach is clothing optional, I
think, or
at least it seems quite a few people like to go topless and no one
ever says
anything)
Ive been down in the area for 15 years (South Beach to Boca Raton, to
Delray)
The housing market has pretty much tanked as much as its going to,
lots of
short sales and bank stuff going on in certain areas. The wealthier
areas of
course you wont find anything, I guess its whatever your looking
for. Owning
a house here isn't all its cracked up to be, real estate tax is high
in lieu
of a state sales tax (we have no state sales tax, just city/fed).
You also
need a HELL of a lot of insurance, and if you live east of I95 that
can cost
50% of your mortgage payment depending on flood zone or not.
Also there is no tradeoff for the breeze from the water, it makes a
big
difference between being on the water and getting that light breeze
vs being
10 miles west and sitting in the swamp. As someone who owned homes
out West
and now rents right on the water, I can say Im much happier for
about the
same money.
