I am currently living with my parent and attending college, Im 19 years old and we have decided to look to move to Florida and have been look at the Palm Beach area, no certain location specifically. I am planning on going to Florida Atlantic University when we move down there. I was wondering what in your opinion is a good place to start looking we are looking for these conditions.
-close to Florida Atlantic University (30 min or closer)
-place good for someone like me that is young and looking to go to school and finding a job.
-close to the beach
-job friendly place for my mom somewhere making ($12+ an hour)

Future102, If you are looking for a decent place to stay near FAU Boca Raton campus, you shouldn't have any trouble finding an apartment/condo/house in the neighboring areas. The only downside is places to live can be a little pricey down here.

Boca Raton is a great place for someone your age as there are quite a few things to do and places to go. Beach, movies, boomers, malls, clubs, etc.

As for the job for your mom, it depends on what field and her qualifications. $12.00 is a little high for most jobs here unless she has a degree in a specific field.

I've been living in S. Florida my entire life and am moving to Anchorage, AK this Summer. I personally can't wait to get out of here (I work in Boca, live in Boynton) and am around your age. If you enjoy the congested city life and hot weather, this will definitely be the place for you.

If you need a good realtor, you can call me. I am from the area and I know it well.

Try Delray Beach. It has everything you are looking for. Pineapple Grove is a really nice area. It's a bit pricey, but walking distance to downtown Delray Beach and has a lot of young(er) people. Delray Beach is about 15 minutes away from FAU.. give or take. Good luck with your move.
