Reason #3 to Buy a Winter Home in Boca Raton: Boca Raton Is on the Beach

Beaches are one of the best attractions of living in Boca Raton, with miles of beautiful sand and crystal-clear water. But what’s even better is how close it is to many other attractions in the area such as shopping, nightlife, golf courses and more. In addition to beautifully maintained public beaches, you’ll be close to marinas, seafood restaurants, surf shops and all the other amenities associated with a laid-back, beachy lifestyle.

And speaking of the lifestyle, Boca Raton is known for its slower, more relaxed pace. That’s what draws a lot of people from New York, Chicago and other major cities up north.

Reason #4 to Buy a Winter Home in Boca Raton: Florida Is the Sunshine State, with 230 Days of Sunshine a Year

It’s no secret that Florida is one of the sunniest states in the country, so it comes as no surprise that you’ll get at least 230 days of sunshine each year when living in Boca Raton. The area also experiences rather mild winters, making it a great place to escape the cold and enjoy some of the best weather in the country.
