I've lived here 11 years but I'm watching this vid just to see what you say. ;D I can definitely vouch for the thriving job market. There's just endless jobs and opportunity here. I work as an administrative assistant, which means I can work in most offices, and with very few exceptions I've never had to leave Boca for work. In general this place has everything. It is just PACKED in here, you will never go without whatever it is you like. The only downside is that the rental market has gotten completely exploitative. Palm Beach and Broward Counties apparently have the biggest rent hikes happening right now nationwide. Our rent just went up by another $200 a month. You can definitely find apartments, but you're not going to get get much bang for your buck, that's for sure. One bed/baths start at usually no less than $1,600 now, but the average is $1,700/$1,800. It's insane. I'm hoping we don't get driven out because of this, because I really do love living here.

Considering either Tampa or Boca. I am switching my career to healthcare now so it depends where i get the job in Florida but I will eventually move to either Tampa or Boca. Tampa is most likely my preference. Rent is not that bad as compared to Boca cus that’s the impression i am getting from some of the comments here.

Dope video. Packed with info and to the point! Nice work brother.

I like that you included information about incorporated versus unincorporated Boca. It's not really common knowledge. Great job!

Awesome recap of our beautiful city. Most people think unincorporated Boca is within city limits. We are so happy with our public services. Don’t forget we have a Brightline station to skip the traffic with Uber service on most destinations..

I grew up in Boca Raton and wouldn’t live there today. Too crowded for me. When a city needs metered public parking its out grown my liking. It’s a great city for what it is though.

looking to relocate from Boston to either Cary, NC or Boca... This video was excellent! I know most people probably wont realize the amount of work, time, and dedication it must have took to make this video. So Thank You!!! Audio was great, you spoke clearly, you presented yourself excellent, the amount of information was unbelievable! Its safe to say I like the video. I wasn't a fan of the shirt but a minute in.... it was a vibe. Maybe you can do a video on the heat of Florida.. How hot is it really? The humidity? How people enjoy to stay cool?

Yrs ago I transferred my Sec 8 voucher there and both I and a former classmate who owned a gorgeous 5 br home there were shocked to see a section of Boca that wasn't high end and I looked at an apt that disappointed me so much I had to let the landlord know. He got highly upset and acted like he was doing me a favor to even consider RENTING to me even with dead roaches laying on the kitchen counter! I quickly ended that apt tour, got back into my friends Rolls-Royce and left. Found a better neighborhood in Oakland Park with an amazing school in Broward County and never looked back. My friend and I laughed that he was so surprised at that area in Boca because he said that's an area he never knew existed because he never went that way. He thought all of Boca was as high end as the area his house was in. I saw a black man who told me that yeah, Boca has it's high end as well as it's ghetto area since Boca wasn't always considered a high end wealthy place. It only became that way as time went on.

This is a great video! So much info loaded in only 10 mins 🤯

What about the weather? How many hurricanes flatten /flood it per year? Related deaths/ year?

OMG the 80s paint splatter shirt is so retro 80s just like most of the homes here in BR. You did not mention all the amazing synagogues and how many Jews live here in Central/Mid-town Boca Raton. All levels of observance. TONS of kosher options. There are 3 major synagogues with a couple of miles of each other. Boca Jewish Center (My shul), BRS and or Boca Raton Synagogue (very big shul) and or Young Israel (more religious (frum) but ppl are very friendly and nice). The only thing is getting a home within a mile or less walking distance is NOT easy or cheap. Many pay cash. Opportunities come up but one must be diligent. If someone would have told me 1.5 yrs ago that I would be living in South FL and LOVING it I would have thought them to be crazy!! I have lived here for about a year and LOVE it. Im from SF and am 5th gen NorCal. Hubby is from NYC. We are obvi Jewish. There are many "ex-pats" in that there are many ppl that have FLED big cities like NYC, Chicago, Philly, LA, and in our case SF bc the politics were getting crazy (Seriously, I have had ppl tell me their 7 yr old is trans and while I am tolerate, I think that is crazy) and CRIME increasing, homeless ppl everywhere with their filth and drugs, ppl NOT being COMMUNITY MINDED plus EXPENSES (taxes are high, public schools are getting worse not better) just make it not a great place to live. People want to not only live but thrive. Most importantly they want to feel their CHILDREN ARE SAFE. You also do not have to hide if you dont agree with crazy "wokies''

Go FAU. Go owls. Lived in the FAU dorms many years ago. Plenty to do in the area. It has changed dramatically. There was no West Boca when I was there.

Great video, concise and informative. No fluff and asking to sub and like for 2 minutes. About to move to the area. Thanks

Thank you this was excellent and you are easy to listen to.

the sixth borough lol thanks for the vid

Amazing 10 min blitz video. keep it up. thanks!

Love this! So well said.

I am 45, currently live in San Francisco for the past 9 years but getting out soon. I am interested in Southern Florida, especially Boca Raton. Can I live car free in downtown Boca and just bike, walk, and use public transit? I am a writer and manage residential buildings and would like to manage residential buildings in boca.

Del Prado elementary school is an A,school in Boca Del Mar.
