3 Things You Need to Know Before Moving to Palm Beach County

1. The Weather Can Be Bizarre

Have you ever heard the expression, “When it rains, it pours?” Here, it can pour on one block and be magnificently sunny one block over. South Florida counties are prone to wet summers, and Palm Beach County is no exception. Summers can reach blistering temperatures, and humid air often turns into thunderstorms in this tropical climate.

However, this is not to say that Palm Beach County weather is all storms and gusts. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Fall and winter in Palm Beach County are particularly beautiful, with low temperatures that dip into the 50’s and highs that reach 80 degrees. If you’re making the move to Palm Beach County it’s safe to say you can leave your winter coat behind.

2. The Landscape is Diverse

Palm Beach County stands out among other South Florida counties for a variety of reasons, but something particularly noteworthy is the variety of landscapes it offers. On the eastern edge of Palm Beach County you’ll find gorgeous sandy beaches that are complimented by a thriving nightlife – Delray Beach and West Palm Beach offer fantastic beaches that sport seaside towns full of shopping and restaurants.

Moving more inland, Palm Beach County becomes more rural. Home to some excellent schools for your young ones, you’ll only ever be a few minutes drive from classes to the shore.

Most uniquely, Palm Beach County does include the northern edge of the Everglades National Park. Between various wetlands, such as Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee and Green Cay Nature Center, and the tip of the Everglades outside of your front door, peaceful walks and exciting wildlife are always nearby.

The Streets Are Bustling

Some people hear the word “traffic,” and immediately assume it’s a bad thing. However, do you know why Palm Beach County streets get a bit busy? It’s because the county features growth every year, with more people fluctuating in to stimulate the economy and add their own flavor to the county.

Between schools, entertainment, dining, shopping and wildlife, there is always somewhere to go or something to do in Palm Beach County. Since you’ll be sharing the road with just over 1.4 million Palm Beachers, a bit of congestion is expected here and there.

The upside? Palm Beach County streets are meticulously maintained. With most main roads featuring upwards of four lanes lined with flourishing palms and tropical plants, even a slower drive is a gorgeous drive. Additionally, major roadways such as Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike make getting from Point A to Point B a whole lot quicker.
