Overall, Boca is a good community! I love the open environment and relativity to the beach, but it is always super crowded.

Boca ratón can be lively and fun depending on your neighborhood. If your neighborhood is fun and likes planing things for the kids and for themselves then you would have a blast. There's also times at the mall it's very fun being there and the atmosphere there is safe and fun.

Having been raised in Boca, much has changed. It's very MAGA and has gotten very crowded. There are definitely nice points like the beaches and Palmetto restaurants, but it has always felt like a "mall city". Always neuvo riche and City of Thousand Guard Gates. If you're ultra Trump, you will love Boca.

Boca Raton is very nice. Family friendly. Upscale community. There are ample parks and recreational activities.
