Nice video you lost me with young people wanting to move to NJ / NY. I haven't seen or heard anyone say they wanted to move there in YEARS and I mean YEARS.
I lived 9 years in the USA , 5 in California, 3 more years in Florida and almost 1 year in Texas. I always see all the good things and I guarantee You there are many nice things everywhere specially in Boca Raton where I lived 1 year. Perhaps what made me take my car and go down to Fort Lauderdale was looking for fun and Boca seemed so quiet at that time [I was 30]. Great memories of all the nice places I have lived in the USA specially beautiful Monterey Bay in California.
Florida is getting a lot more crowed overall. There is a lot more international investment in Florida especially south Florida. Unfortunately, if other areas get worse…. South Florida real estate could see even more demand due to people looking to move money out of their countries.
You should do a video on how many Canadians are moving to Florida and reasons behind it. Maybe there are areas that have a predominant Canadian presence and you could create a vid that would allow Canadians to be comfortable to do business with you based on those statistics. I’m sure I’m one of many Canadians that are moving to Florida to escape communist Canada under the Trudeau regime!
@@Apexpropertycare Hi, many Canadiens here in South FL, mainly Broward County since 80s, but seems fewer these days, most seem to be snowbirds, but I understand real Estate has gone nuts in some parts of Canada,very unaffordable like Florida
Red Reef Park is usually not too bad and is our favorite. Went there today and it was really peaceful for our family on a holiday weekend. Red Reef is usually for Boca locals with families. South Beach Park and Spanish River have a busier and younger crowd. The Inlet Park is full of seasonal people and visitors.
Millionaires, billionaires and corporations are going to be the only ones left to afford to buy real estate in Florida. South Carolina is considered to be the new Florida.
It is changing rapidly and I do not see it getting more affordable in the near future especially south Florida. As someone who works with people relocating here, it seems like the past few years caused people to have a mindset shift in the location that they want to live due to lifestyle, political stance, or tax reasons. South Carolina is getting very popular for people moving out of Florida as well.
I prefer Hallandale Beach Florida beautiful beaches and restaurants and Gulf Stream Park Horse racing track, it’s the biggest in Florida, and Pegasus And Dragon Statue it’s the third biggest statue in the United States, Atlantic Village beautiful shopping mall and full with restaurants and nightlife, Big Easy Casino the second biggest casino in Florida, and your in the city that’s in between everything in south Florida, my favorite city in Florida perfect location.🙌🏻❤
Yes! 👍 the gas prices are always a lot more expensive in Boca. The only place I try to get gas in Boca is at Costco. Yesterday, I was leaving Delray Beach from Atlantic and the south I-95 ramp was closed and I was forced to go north to Boynton. I got off and immediately filled up gas there. For premium gas it seemed to be almost $2 cheaper. I’m still stunned about Boca gas prices!
I live South of Boca Roton FL. I live in Pembroke Pines FL (North of Miami FL or inland of Fort Lauderdale FL). FL is getting out of hand on HOA and everything is expensive! Good Higher pay jobs not here! Greedy family members the summer is MURDER.
The price of everything is going up. The price of a dozen glaze donuts from Krispy Kreme in Deerfield was over $15. Now, HOAs are a nightmare currently. A lot of them more than doubled in the past few years!!
You don't know what hot is. I lived in a mobile home with no insulation, no shade and no air conditioning in Tampa, Florida . The heat was at least 110° every day and night. I thought of moving to Boca Raton but changed my mind remembering that heat and then the home owners association, the taxes and the insurance--forget it.
Lots of New yawkers in Boca, Palm Beach County, 6th Borough. Very costly, Home Insurance can be $6000 - $15000 year for middle class Home, its Nuts. Traffic has become really intense , almost L.A. type traffic, Auto Insurance also among highest in States. Summers are intense, unbearable heat & relentless, lots of very wealthy peeps, Bentleys, Benz ,Porsche etc everywhere
Car insurance is something that I need to bring up. The price difference from north to south Florida is ridiculous. The internal migration of people in the country has put a lot of pressure on Boca’s and the rest of south Florida housing supply. Many wealthy people are moving into the area everyday it seems. 300k a year is becoming the new middle class for the area. It’s pricing out a lot of normally seen as middle class careers such as teachers or even engineers.
Insurance is been a recent issue as well. That is why your home inspection is so important. Windows, doors, roof, AC, and water heater can all greatly affect your insurance.
Florida is not for everyone! The highlights of areas such as in Boca Raton may drive others crazy. But Florida has areas that are completely different culturally and economically. Hopefully people can use videos like these to help them decide if the move is worth it. Thanks for commenting.
New Yorkers have ruined South FL…. It’s not hospitable as it once was because they’ve brought their rudeness and shrewd mannerisms…. Honestly I hate that they’ve come in South FL
Thanks for commenting! Boca was always more expensive compared to other areas in Florida. It depends on what you value in terms of quality of life. Some people will pay extra to live in Boca for the improved quality of life. Where you decide to live is something more complex than just price.
I moved out of Boca 4 years ago and there is no way I could afford to go back now (nor would I want to). I was paying $1000 a month for daycare so i can only imagine how much it costs now (that was a mid grade school regarding price). It has become very stuck up and full of rude northerners. I'm sorry but its the truth. I witnessed so many nasty customers at local stores before moving, I knew it was time to get out. I didn't want my kids growing up in that environment.
Where did you move to? Daycare now for a 3 year old is running about $1500/month. The area is very beautiful and clean. Schools are top rated. That is why we move down here to Boca Raton. But it’s hard to find a place as of right now. Most of Florida to us can be seen as a downgrade.
Boca Raton turning into San Francisco? That's a really good one, I just had two siblings visit me in Boca from out of State and they couldn't believe how pristine and clean it was for a city it's size. Also, PBC board of commissioners are now majority Republican and the county went red for Governor Desantis in the last election, not really sure what you're talking about.
@@shamrock32 I"d be delighted to explain. The county carried Obama twice, Clinton and Biden!!! There are races in BR where no Republicans even bother to run so it's Democrats vs Democrats.
As a native Floridian I agree with you. We left during covid because the liberal schools refused to open again that next school year and mandated online learning only despite kids with special needs and the hundreds of parents that voiced their desires to reopen. I moved to a conservative town in Central Florida that was business as usual. Schools wide open and marks optional. DeSantis does not control every single aspect of every single county on many topics. So yes, there are many pockets of very liberal counties that make rules for your schools, etc.
Boca and the south Florida area is hard to beat. I would not make the trade off to move to Cape Coral personally. The only area that I had interest in on the west coast was Sarasota.
That’s a great question!! As it seems now a lot of university students are working while going to school or people are living with family in surrounding areas.
Lol "taxes you are saving" What taxes? The property taxes that are the highest in the country? HOA fees the highest in the country? Or how about insurance, which is the highest in the country. Or, how about everything you pay is based on climate change which ironically, you're not even allowed to talk about in the State of Florida.
Thanks for the feedback Bob! This is an earlier video. I’ve corrected my pronunciation in future videos. But we should keep the comment section nice since we are practically neighbors living in Boca. Take care.
Nice video you lost me with young people wanting to move to NJ / NY. I haven't seen or heard anyone say they wanted to move there in YEARS and I mean YEARS.
Thanks for commenting! Some younger adults still idolize living in NYC. We love it here though! Wouldn’t live up there. 👆
Asheville nc is wack

We live in Boca Raton and really enjoy it as a family in our 30s. Great place!
Just like we need to close the southern border maybe Florida border as well. We’re not only full we’re way overcrowded!

Sounds like a good idea!
Don't worry, most of Florida is becoming uninsurable.
Florida is to expensive
Jobs don’t pay
Crowded
Insurance
Taxes
Hot
All valid points! Thanks for commenting!
Can you suggest some nice quiet beaches in Boca Raton?

Wherever you drive, just don't pump gas anywhere in Boca, it's always $4 per low grade gallon
Yes! 👍 the gas prices are always a lot more expensive in Boca. The only place I try to get gas in Boca is at Costco.

HOA fee is out of control and seen to have nobody look over or put a stop on it.

I can only image the heat on the gulf coast side! It is the current price to pay for the lifestyle that you want .

You’re also a good pharmacist
Thank you!
Only poor people moving out.😂😂😂
Rich people keep buying property in Boca. Life is good.💸
Middle to upper middle class are getting gentrified out too. The recent pressure on the housing market Is getting insane.
Boca raton is top city in the sixth borough
Thanks for commenting!
Hope New Yorkers don’t spoil Florida with their extreme left ideas and woke ness
Hopefully Boca stays an amazing place to live!
Hey Now be nicer to the people from NY!
Most of the NYC people who moved down to Boca turn out to be great. It’s just every once in a while you run into an extreme person.
New Yorkers have ruined South FL…. It’s not hospitable as it once was because they’ve brought their rudeness and shrewd mannerisms…. Honestly I hate that they’ve come in South FL
@@BocaRatonLiving Do you meaning me?--lol
Expensive bro what a short video

I sold my house and on a waiting list forba rental in West Palm Beach 😊😊😊😊😊😊
If you purchased your house a few years ago, you definitely had some equity built up! Congrats! 🎉🍾🎊
@@BocaRatonLiving Thanks ...
Too many New Yorkers spoiled the soup, duh!
Not all turn out to be terrible. Many are looking for a better quality of life as well. Sometimes I wonder if Boca markets itself to NYC though.
I moved out of Boca 4 years ago and there is no way I could afford to go back now (nor would I want to).

Cape Coral is overpriced too

Moved to BR in 1966. What a rat hole its become. Located in liberal Palm Beach County it is turning into San Francisco.
I can only image what it looked like in 1966. I’m thankful for the work of the Boca Raton Historical Society for saving so much from the past.
@@BocaRatonLiving The BRHS can't save Boca Raton

NY can have Boca.
Maybe we can give them another city…. ? I love living in Boca! lol
Cape Coral ? Really ? Won’t be there after the next hurricane !
Boca and the south Florida area is hard to beat. I would not make the trade off to move to Cape Coral personally. The only area that I had interest in on the west coast was Sarasota.
😂😂😂😂😂
regular people moving out and mafia moving in lol,,,i think Nicky the wig and Joey Merlino live there..😆
Things are changing
If all the poor and middle class leave who's going help the wealthy?
That’s a great question!! As it seems now a lot of university students are working while going to school or people are living with family in surrounding areas.

Thank you for sharing! Where are you getting your data that Florida has the highest property taxes in the country?
Can't best coastal Florida!
South Florida is hard to beat. It is cooler in the summer than north Florida. It also has a nice breeze in the coastal areas as well! Love it here!
DeSantis making sure his buddy's are getting wealthy.
Who is helping us with the home insurance crisis and why is the focus on a new habit for Florida panthers in Orlando? 😂
Who is this guy, he even says Boca Raton wrong....Its Ratone. Rah Tone...got that tourist. pasty white skin.
Thanks for the feedback Bob! This is an earlier video. I’ve corrected my pronunciation in future videos. But we should keep the comment section nice since we are practically neighbors living in Boca. Take care.
@@BocaRatonLiving The difference is I have been here since I was 5. and I'm 73..So your a tourist to me Skippie.
USA with Trump. Never move there.
There are a few states that are politically the other way such as California.
