Delray Beach is South Florida’s Eclectic “Village by the Sea”

Nestled on Florida’s picturesque southeast coast, Delray Beach was once a hidden gem and still bills itself as “The Village by the Sea.” Following a building boom that began in 2003, Delray Beach burst into the spotlight in 2012 when it was named "Best of the Road - Most Fun Small Town in America" by Rand McNally and USA Today Travel. Today, its vibrant downtown includes an eclectic mix of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and entertainment and nightlife venues.

East Atlantic Avenue, known simply as “The Avenue,” is the pulse of downtown Delray Beach with live musical entertainment from classic rock to island reggae and a myriad of gourmet restaurants, nightclubs and causal bars.

Live stage plays, musical performances, comedy routines and dance are featured at venues including the Delray Beach Playhouse and the Arts Garage. The Pineapple Grove arts district, just north of Atlantic Avenue, enjoyed major expansion in 2009 and became a cultural mecca for more than 20 art galleries filled with oil paintings, sculpture, vintage poster art and Native American works.

The Spady Cultural Heritage Museum chronicles Delray Beach’s history, while other museums offer a wealth of cultural experiences including the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens, Sandoway House Nature Center and the Puppetry Arts Center of the Palm Beaches.

Delray Beach also boasts two miles of some of the most beautiful beaches in South Florida and there are ample opportunities to enjoy a myriad of outdoor sports, including tennis, golf, water sports and boating. The City’s healthy business climate thrives on hospitality, and retail, but also includes finance, healthcare and other private-industry fields.

Home to 60,000 residents, Delray Beach is located between Palm Beach and West Palm Beach to the north and Boca Raton to the south and is a prime location for families, singles and homeowners of all ages. GL Homes recognized all that Delray Beach had to offer and established two of its trendiest communities in one of “America’s most sociable cities.” Seven Bridges in Delray Beach Florida is a luxury community that offers four stunning collections of single-family estate residences, most with a spectacular water view, priced from the $670,000s to $2 million. Tuscany in Delray Beach, uniquely designed for families of all sizes, features gorgeous single-family residences priced from $365,900.

Location still is the most single important factor when considering where to live and whether you’re a wine tasting aficionado or into extreme sports, the friendly City of Delray Beach welcomes you home.
