Delray Beach Real Estate

Located along the Atlantic Coast and Intracoastal Waterway, in the southeastern part of Palm Beach County, is Delray Beach. This majestic city offers its residents some of the finest opportunities found in Florida. From its sandy coastline to charming downtown, Delray Beach encompasses many of the features that make a city livable – a strong economic, good education system, modern healthcare facilities and recreation.

The heart of Delray Beach can be found in its charming downtown. The buildings and storefronts have been restored to their original splendor with brick sidewalks, decorative street lighting and colorful awnings and window displays. Walking along Atlantic Avenue, visitors will pass a wonderful blend of restaurants, antique shops, boutiques, galleries, gift shops and cafes. Residents gather in the downtown area throughout the year to enjoy special events such as Art and Jazz on the Avenue, which is an annual event featuring live music and delicious food. City officials and various organizations strive to maintain the friendly, close-knit atmosphere of downtown.

For residents, Delray Beach also provides them with endless distractions in the way of recreation and entertainment. Sandy beaches stretch more than two miles along the Atlantic coastline, and warm temperatures encourage sunbathers, swimmers, surfers and sailors to hit the water year-round. Diving is also a popular water sport in Delray Beach, and the wreck of a ship offshore is perfect for exploring. Other great activities include the boardwalk and nature trail at Atlantic Dunes Park, The Intracoastal Waterway, Lake Ida Park, Delray Marina, Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, numerous parks and golf courses.

For those people who prefer to stay off the beach, The Cornell Museum and Cason Cottage Museum provide art and history exhibits, while The Crest Theatre and The Delray Beach Playhouse host a variety of live performances and productions. Residents looking to experience a piece of Asia in Florida, The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens showcases Japanese culture through numerous exhibits, interactive classrooms, beautiful gardens and a pine-tree forest. The 200-acre Morikami park, named after the pineapple farmer who donated the property, welcomes thousands of visitors every year. Other attractions in Delray Beach include the headquarters for the American Orchid Society and the Palm Beach Photographic Centre.

Whether a homebuyer prefers to live on the waterfront or near shops on Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach real estate offers an extensive selection of properties that will match any lifestyle. Even though homes come in various shapes and sizes, most of the architecture compliments the Spanish and Mediterranean influence. Delray Beach homes for sale include waterfront, luxury, condos and townhomes – each with its own unique features and amenities.
