Waterfront gated enclaves comprise the southern strip; homeowners owners enjoy private community pools and clubhouses. Condos and townhomes range from $275,000 to $440,000, while ranches and bungalows reach up to $700,000. Whether they explore gated or non-gated options, interested homeowners choose from colorfully consistent architectural styles like Minimal Traditional, Spanish Eclectic, Mediterranean Revival, and the occasional midcentury modern remodel.

Locals can skip the crowds at Delray Beach and head to Ocean Front Beach Park for a day on the water. "There are also a lot of parks nearby," Elbertson states. "Our kids do baseball at the Little League Park, right off Woolbright and I-95. There's another field behind Galaxy Elementary School." Officer Joseph Crowder Park and Dog Park is optimal for families and their four-legged friends. This hub has two dog runs for large and small pups, and a relaxing walkway loops around the lake. According to Elbertson, many canals encircle Old Boynton that people go fishing and boating in, such as the C. Stanley Weaver Canal, which folks can access directly via the public boat ramp at Pioneer Canal Park.

Locals can spend an entire evening on Atlantic Avenue's art-lined streets, whether they're heading to karaoke at Atlantic Avenue Yacht Club or getting crafty at the annual Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival. "We're not far from Palm Beach's attractions either, like the Palm Beach Zoo or the Rapids Waterpark," Elbertson says.The home of Boynton Beach Mall
Old Boynton residents neighbor Boynton Beach Mall, which, along with its surrounding retail complexes, serves as a shopping and dining destination for locals from all over the city. Grocery stores like Target and Publix line Congress Avenue and make for a convenient errand run.
