Characteristics

Transportation

Getting around as a pedestrian is moderately convenient for home buyers in this city; many common errands can be run without the use of a car, and there are also a good number of businesses nearby. Boca Raton is also fairly appropriate for bicycling as cyclists do not encounter serious hills. Boca Raton is a very good part of the Greater Miami metropolitan area for traveling by car. It is very easy to come across a parking spot, and the majority of homes for sale are a rather short drive from the closest highway, such as I-95. On the other hand, the public transit system in this part of the Greater Miami metropolitan area is not very practical. Nevertheless, residents can rely on the Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach Station and Boca Raton Station on the Mainline and Tri-Rail. There are about 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most properties.

Services

In all but a very small number of cases, a vehicle is needed to shop for groceries in one of over 100 stores. Nonetheless, reaching the nearest pharmacy and accordingly some staple foods is typically convenient. There are also a few opportunities for those who value close by restaurants. As far as education is concerned, it is a rather short trip to reach primary schools from any location in this city. However, there are only a few high schools and therefore they can be a rather long pedestrian trip away. Locals have the choice between public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level.
