Boca Raton Commerce & Culture
This thriving little city — the birthplace of IBM’s first personal computer — more than deserves its international reputation. Copious sunshine and breezes foster near-perfect weather, and the downtown is neat as a pin. Residential and commercial buildings have a cohesive feel, and the streets, green spaces, and infrastructure are in top condition. Shopping in Boca reveals a Rodeo Drive’s worth of luxury as hundreds of upscale retailers and irresistible boutiques populate Mizner Park and other tony districts. After a day of burning calories on the court, links, and ocean, locals delight in a restaurant scene rivaling cities 10 times Boca’s size and a refined, if subdued, nightlife. In the unlikely event you get bored of Boca, its location is convenient for everything happening between the Keys and the Treasure Coast.
