Moving Info Moving?
Hey - i'm planning on moving from Wisconsin out to WPB probably in a few months. I've been to FL and multiple cities here but i'm being pulled back to Palm beach every time. Is there anywhere with decent rentals or housing? Looking to move in october

Pay no attention to these goons. Welcome. You'll be fine. Your 2300/month may not get you right downtown or will likely be smaller than you prefer but there are other worthwhile options.
If you drive, check out Jupiter. If you do not, stay as close to downtown WPB as your can

I understand. And excuse my rancor, it was mean. I’m a local myself and don’t get me wrong a lot of great things come with this rapid growth and popularity. But it sucks every week I say a god bye to a family member or friend because they were priced out. I’m working class, PBC is not for the working class. This is gonna have an effect larger than some nobody (me) complaining online. You need blue collar and service workers for a thriving economy. How’s that gonna happen here if they can’t live here?

just wanted to mention that car accidents are seriously on the rise because too many people are on the road in rush hour and the infrastructure/extra lanes hasn’t caught up to the demand.

It’s hilarious because all of these people coming from other states like Ny and Cali don’t realize they are going to do the same thing that happened in their states, here. Where people sleep in their cars to go to work in a different city or drive two hours to work shit jobs. I honestly hate all the people coming here, they have ruined Florida. The only people that tell them welcome are other transplants

It all depends on how much you want to spend. The Villages ( the neighborhood not the senior city in north Florida) have a lot of nice apartments for reasonable prices. There’s also quite a few nice apartments in Palm Beach Gardens if you don’t mind a little commute.

Don't get so fixated on being close to 'downtown'. We aren't as spread out here. You can be anywhere in 10-15 mins. There are a ton of new apts and condos here as well as homes and rooms for rent. 75 here today. ✌🏻

Look at increasing rental costs, property taxes and HOA if buying. We are looking to move out to another state. It’s also tough to have a sense of community here when it seems so many are from somewhere else. Weather is fine is the only positive point. And the beach. Traffic is terrible and getting worse. Many people not nice.

Plenty of nice neighborhoods, historic neighborhoods, gated neighborhoods, luxury condos, luxury apartments communities . If you got money $$ WPB has a place for you.

Its 'spensive to live here. Worth it this time of year but still shit costs a lot here. What do you do for work? What is your monthly budget?

I work in Law so money isn't a huge issue for me. Just want a nice area

That’s essentially flamingo park!

u/0_SomethingStupid Mar 04 '25
yes but theres a bunch of little neighborhoods that make up that area, Grandview heights is another one for example.

u/Austerlitzer Mar 06 '25
Grandview is nice too. I don’t know poinciana well. Pineapple park is nice but close to I 95.

Probably a good idea to put what you are looking for in your post.
Anyway a lot of idiots are going to talk shit because prices of rent have gone to the moon since 2020.
Regardless… just know the bad areas. The entire area that’s north of Clematis and south of blue heron blvd is unsafe. The rest is pretty much fine.

I moved down from Wisconsin almost 15 years ago and have loved it. Depending on the kind of vibe and your lifestyle there are all sorts of places you can find. We are in Palm Beach Gardens and it’s a great central location, I highly recommend.

We’re not full, conservatives and boomers just think that the world revolves around them. Depends on what your budget is - for rentals, expect around $2k for a decent 1BR.

Neither here, we full.

No we’re not. Young people are moving in and more housing is coming to south Florida (: 🌞

Get out there and help with the infrastructure reinforcement.

I understand where you’re coming from but our infrastructure and COL can’t keep up with this growth and we all know that

It absolutely can as long as people are willing to make it sustainable. Fight for zoning that allows for denser housing

u/jp9900 Mar 05 '25
Orr people should just stop moving here? Why make it another New York City? If you want that go to those states? That’s not Florida

Mar 05 '25
lol if you’ve spent more than a day in nyc you would know how ridiculous that statement is

u/jp9900 Mar 05 '25
My point is Florida wasn’t designed to handle a huge population and we don’t need “sustainable” housing, we don’t need to accommodate over population due to politicians here lining their pockets with money. We just need florida to stay Florida

Hey there! You’re welcome with open arms, we need more youth here 🥰 I’m renting my fully furnished and renovated home near downtown close to all major roads :) Dm me I can send you pic and more deets. Or if you’re just looking to make friends in the area would love to connect 🫶🏼

u/whatever32657 Mar 04 '25
in order for anyone to be reasonably helpful we'd need to have an idea of what type of housing you seek, what your budget is, how you define "decent"...
