I live in High point of DelRay! Love it here! Looking forward to seeing the sights! I have been to Beach a number of times! COVID put a damper on getting to know my way around but is better now! Great video!

@Randy Watson actually pretty good. The avenue is know for its nightlife and dining.

I lived in delray for a year, no really knowing what to expect and I really loved it, now im living in davie but for sure want to go back. Very nice video

Nice Neo..I like Docs too..just good old Americana type food.. my wife's family are Floridians and they all grew up in Delray and around.

[@genebigs]

I agree Paul. You definitely live in paradise! I love Delray Beach. So much so that I bought a condo downtown there a few years ago. (I'm a New Yorker). I always look forward to going to relax in one of the most special places on Earth! Great video! Thanks!

Thank you for watching and yes Delray is special...where did you buy.

@@PalmBeachesPaul Atlantic Grove, just west of the tennis center, and walking distance to all the restaurants. We love it!

Is The Blue Anchor still there?

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Absolutely, I made a video about haunted places in Palm Beach County and that was one of them

[@eb1684]

@@PalmBeachesPaul Wow!! Are you ever wrong on that one! How is this friendly place ever haunted? My wife and I went there frequently and loved the place. The food was always delicious, the chefs top notch year after year and the waitresses always friendly and attractive and totally knowledgable. And "Sunday Roast." Did you ever go to that? But the British Ale!! Where else can you get that wonderful draft? You must not appreciate any of that. You have only confirmed my opinion of real estate people.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

@E B because the facade of that bar is actually from London England and the original owners were husband and wife and the husband killed his wife. not only have actual Ghost Hunters made KZbin videos there and TV shows but it's been local knowledge for years so apparently I know a little more than you about the place.

[@sophiedoeshauls1834]

I have a home there and I LOVE DOCS OMG IT LOOKS SO NICE BEFORE COVID 🥺

Thanks for watching. Love Docs.

[@truedoloans]

that's a great event I did one of my videos from the stadium about Delray Beach

[@RealtorKateSmith]

@@PalmBeachesPaul, yes! And we love the downtown area east of the event, great restaurants.

[@jamessawyer8889]

After moving from Delray beach to Orlando, I liked it, it was close to shopping, beach, etc, but what a PITA Atlantic Ave is when it comes to traffic, it's like life in the slow zone, and people are clueless when it comes to direction, but you try to avoid it at all cost

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Delray is a fantastic little town.

[@ProbateandTrustHelp]

To live so close to the beach usually means traffic. I'll take the pro's over the con's. Thanks for the video.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Most would agree with you.

[@Babybookieboo]

There’s traffic like hell in Atlanta with no beach or scenery

[@favoritelasvegasrealtor]

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

it starts to get really good in another month. I'll have events all the way through May

[@SiliconValleyRealEstate]

$530k is still more affordable than the beach communities near me in Santa Cruz and better taxes. Great option for Californians to still leave near the ocean. :) Great info.

@@PalmBeachesPaul yep....

[@user-bu3re7ft6i]

Thanks for the video. I'm considering moving from New York to Florida when I retire. Is it possible to park further away like 6 to 8 blocks in a residential area and walk to the action. I do this in NY all the time and get free parking when I go into the city to see Broadway shows. I don't mind walking. I'm not a beach bum but I am interested in nightlife especially salsa dancing/music/live bands.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Thanks for watching. Yes there are places to park away from Atlantic Ave and walk to all the action. I do it all the time. When you are ready let me know I'll be happy to help find you a place here.

[@user-bu3re7ft6i]

@@PalmBeachesPaul thanks for your response. I assume the parking is free further away. 😁

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

definitely would be an early bird on the beach to get a parking spot, nice to see some free transportation options for getting around.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Couldn't agree more. It's a cool little town.

[@maryroberts589]

I totally agree, but let's keep it under wraps so it doesn't get out of control and kill the charm! I have lived here almost 17 years and cannot believe the amount of growth (and not in a good way). We now have a chain store on the Ave that is usually found in malls. Urban Outfitters is a great store, but it broke my heart a little when it opened on Atlantic.

[@bklyn2miami553]

Is Oriole Village a 55+ Community??

@@thekingoftown07 wel if I can help I will. let me know if you come down and need help finding a place to live.

[@jamessawyer8889]

When I lived in Delray Beach, the condo I lived in was nice, but after having 4 different groups to pay for homeowners, plus having people not paying & having an assessment, my payments were as much as a house payment, I ended up moving to Orlando, so I know that real estate is something else, not to mention that when my mom purchased the condo, we payed a good chunk of change, selling it in 2017, because of economics, and the real estate market, I lost my shirt, plus on a drive I took months ago, Doc's was closed for good, but they're lobbying to save the building, I hope they find another place to start back up because they did have good food

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

That winter traffic does suck but thats why I ride a bike or take the freebie

[@maryroberts589]

I'm really confused by the situation with Doc's! The sign facing Atlantic seems to say it is being refurbished to save historical landmark, but the sign facing Swinton looks like it will be office space. It is such an important piece of historical Delray!! I am one of the residents very against all if the new growth blotting out this foundation on our Village by the Sea!

I moved to Delray Beach in 1995 I really enjoyed it... 😥 I wish people would make a video about new and old Atlantic avenue strip that run from I95 east to A1A ...how the city 😫 forced store owner restaurant owners out of business 🙄.. court house new parking lot was built over light house halfway house for drug addiction.... and the tennis courts where built over apparent that where owned by my friend Jason Nelson's family that owned loves drugs pharmacy.... down town Delray was only opened for the summer.

My wife's family grew up in Delray and they remember those times, I actually moved here in 92 and I do remember going through downtown Delray back in the 90s it was much different then but it's still a great place unfortunately a lot of things are gone but that's just how time works, lots of things have changed in Palm Beach county in my 28 years, some good some not good.

Negatives-no mountains or hills to climb. No forest canopy to go into. Town ends about 11 miles west because of the Everglades. Drive to get out of Florida is many multiple hours.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Thanks for watching..I help lots of people who are from here buy and sell homes. Anyplace near a beach or a popular place like Atlantic Ave is going to cost more. That's the price of living near an ocean or a hot location and trust me many of the locals are very happy with the prices they are getting for their homes.
