It spreads from the beautiful beaches of the east coast all the way to the shores of Lake Okeechobee. And it has been keeping Botox in business since the 8. Join us now as we carefully examine the innards of this county and decide once and for all whats the best and whats the worst. See also All 3. 0 Cities in Broward County, Ranked From Worst to Best. South Bay. Pro Its near Lake Okeechobee, and theres a nice scenic trail and campground. Con The most happening place in tiny South Bay population 3,8. South Bay Correctional Institution max capacity 1,9. Bottom Line If prisoners could vote, the mayoral candidates in this town would have to win over the prisoner demographic, which would be interesting. They like golf, and they dont care who knows. Photo via Wikipedia Commons. Golf. Pros Odds are you have been to a party with more people than currently live in Golf 2. Walking Dead. If you find yourself in Golf, its probably for something superfancy, because this pace is basically like living in a country club. And yes, it was founded by a golf course designer and has a golf course. Cons If you live in a city with 2. Publix or, for that matter, to not date every person you went to high school with. Every day, you have to be reminded of the sport of golf, even if you hate it. Bottom Line They named a city after a sport thats weird. Nobody lives in Football, Florida. Golf exists, so thats cool. Manalapan. Pros Manalapan is technically not a town. Its a stretch of plantation some obscure president gave one of his good time buddies as a gift back in the 1. Besides its opulent homes, Manalapan is mostly known for an old 1. Also, the 1. 98. 1 neo noir film Body Heat was filmed here. Cons Manalapan is named after a township in New Jersey, which were convinced was done sarcastically. Bottom Line Manalapan definitely feels like a place found in dime store crime pulps where the wealthy are murdered and nobody cares. Briny Breezes. Pro Briny Breezes is a coastal town of just over 4. Tiny and consisting of mostly elderly snowbirds, its perfect for anyone looking for a simpler life or a solid location for a witness protection program. Con This town is too small and too old to offer anything but shuffleboard. And theyre even strict about their shuffleboardOn the towns website, there is a list of rules that declare No one shall play in bare feet, open toed shoes or topless apparel. Which is 1 a buzzkill, and 2 begs the question Is topless shuffleboard a thing Bottom Line Until they legalize topless shuffleboard, theres no reason to step foot in Briny. Greenacres. Pro Like the TV show Cons No. Not like the TV show. Bottom Line If only it was like the TV show. Mangonia Park. Pro Another good example of Palm Beach small town living. Just over 1,0. 00 residents and around one square mile, its a great place for those who just want to slow things down. Con When the residents of Mangonia Park decided to incorporate, they petioned the State of Florida and asked for the name Magnolia Park. The State of Florida wrote back with good news and bad news. Good news The town could incorporateBad news The name Magnolia Park was already taken, so the town would be stuck with Mangonia Park. Things were off to a bad start from the very beginning. Bottom Line Its so small it could fit into most overhead compartments. If you like towns the size of a high school, its for you. Hypoluxo. Pro Halfway between West Palm Beach and Boca, this town of around 2,0. Each month, the mayor writes a letter to his people and posts it on the town website. No ones told him about social media yet. Con Hypoluxo has small town charm, but it will never offer the culture or nightlife scenes of its neighbors Boca and West Palm. Bottom Line Hey, if small town charm and communicative mayors are your thing, you might just like settling down in Hypoluxo. Highland Beach. Pros Beach living with the 1 percenters. Cons If you dont have a trust fund or fake boobs, good luck getting in. Bottom Line Palm Beach has indiscriminate spreads of beachfront clogged with prefab Mc. Mansions like Broward has indiscriminate spreads of chain store choked suburban sprawl. Case in point Highland Beach. Lake Clarke Shores. Pros Lake Clarke Shores is like stepping back into a 5. Lakes are cool who doesnt like a lake, right Cons Lakes are bleeping terrifying, I aint swimming in a lake Nope. This town uses its own personal police force, like in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or a movie about a town you do not want to get a flat tire in. It seems like every road or place in this town is named after a body of water or something you find near a cabin. Who the hell is Clarke, and why does he get his own lake named after him Bottom Line Im scared of Lake Clarke Shores. You go first. Photo by Refugee. Wikipedia Commons. Belle Glade. Pro This sleepy little city on the southeastern shore of Lake Okeechobee with a population just under 2. America. Glades Central High School is basically a factory for the NFL, churning out an insane number of NFL players despite having an enrollment of around 1,0. In this town, you know where everyone is on Friday night. Con There may be a reason so many kids from Belle Glade fight their way out of the city via football. Crippled by poverty and crime, Belle Glades can hardly be considered flourishing. Its largely a sugar farming city. Bottom Line The city serves as a shocking juxtaposition to Palm Beach. But the number of professional athletes this city churns out is a testament to the work ethic of its people. Pahokee. Pro Pahokee is only technically in Palm Beach, but it feels more like North Florida. Sitting on the shore of Lake Okeechobee, it advertises itself as Palm Beach Countys Other Coast. Its great for folks who just dont fit in around the east coast. Its also another great Palm Beach County football town, producing a list of notable NFL alumni. Con Struggles with violent crime have held back this city from becoming somewhere people want to visit. 100 Years Telugu Calendar Pdf. Bottom Line Pahokee isnt just Palm Beach Countys other coast, its basically the opposite of almost everything in Palm Beach County. It has that heartland vibe but not much else. Glen Ridge. Pro The entire 1. Glen Ridge is a bird sanctuary. So if you love birds or are a bird, we think youll like it there. Con Birds aside, there is something creepy about Glen Ridge. They dont go anywhere else, longtime resident Gary Elkins told the Palm Beach Post, referring to the residents of Glen Ridge. They live there until they die, and then their house comes up for sale. At some point during that process, we assume a virgin is sacrificed. Bottom Line Unless youre a bird nerd, there just aint much to Glen Ridge. Its a little too tiny, quaint, and idealistic. And any fan of Hitchcock knows birds are not to be trusted. Tequesta. Pro Tequesta Brewing Co. Florida brewer, pumping out some of the Sunshine States best beer. And with just north of 5,0. Con Once the buzz wears off, youll look around and realize that there just aint much to do. This will make you want more beer, possibly leading to an unhealthy cycle. Bottom Line Tequesta Come for the beer, stay for the beerHey, who has more beer Are you gonna finish that beer Atlantis.
