We are looking at renting an Apt. in Boca Raton. The compex is called Emerald Bay Club. Being as we are in Tallahassee, it's not possible for us to see it in person, but from what we've seen online, it looks like a nice place.

My husband is concerned about living in a "safe" area. I think it probably is, I don't think Boca has truly "unsafe" areas, to be honest. Can anyone here tell me what the neighborhood, in general, is like there? This complex is on Boca Entrada Blvd, which is north of Loxahatchee Rd, and west of SR 7/441.

We were also considering a place in Deerfield Beach called Tivoli Springs. It is near the intersection of I-95 and the Sawgrass Expy. What is Deerfield like, as far as safety? I don't remember hearing much about Deerfield at all when I lived in S Fl, good or bad, though I do think I rmemeber the high school being "tough." Any input?

Thanks!
 
Bumping this, as I am very anxious.

Aurora, you're not going to believe this, but that's where we lived when we were first married.:eek: :eek: It was called Boca Entrada back then, this was 15 years ago. It is a large rental complex and it was decent when we first moved in. There were some "questionable looking tenants", our apartment was burglarized and the parking lot was packed most of the time. Again, this was a long time ago, so I don't know what it's like now. Having said, the area doesn't look bad at all. Bad things can happen anywhere, I just think there are better areas in Boca. I drive by that area when I take my kids to their pediatrician, I just did on Friday.

I will tell you that the area in which it is located, it's not the best Boca has to offer. We learned that later on; once we got to know the area. The traffic in that area is very heavy. This is not located within the Boca city limits, so the services are offered by the county, not the city of Boca Raton (read not as good). We have friends that live on the east side of Boca and they are very happy with the services the city offers them.

Have you tried looking for something on the east side of Boca Raton? If there is anything else that you'd like to know, let me know. I'm not trying to scare, just wanted to be honest.

Just wanted to add, that you may also want to check out Coconut Creek (nice area) which is just south of Boca.

Another thing I can do for you is to pick up some apartment rental booklets at Publix and mail them to you. Let me know if you are interested.
