How Delray Beach became the hottest spot north of Miami Beach

South Florida Business Journal

It’s difficult to imagine that Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach was once one of the most dangerous streets in South Florida.

Today, it attracts flocks of diners and shoppers just about every night. It has recently set retail real estate sales records. But in the 1980s and early 1990s, it was mired in blight.

Plenty of South Florida cities have laid renewal plans, but the plan Delray Beach’s civil and business leaders crafted has exploded into unparalleled success. The city was twice named an All-American City by the National Civic League and was lauded by USA Today as the most fun small town in America. 

Former Mayor Jeff Perlman remembers when crowds blocked the streets and hooligans threw bottles at police. At that time, the city’s entrepreneurial talent included a lot of drug dealers and prostitutes. But a focused effort by the police department, and public investment in infrastructure and outdated properties turned things around, Perlman said...

Realtors are often asked where the most desirable neighborhoods are in the Delray Beach real estate market. Well, there are several incredible communities throughout this Village By The Sea, however, I think everyone would agree that the best place to live in Delray beach is, BY THE SEA! 

Kristen Rich, Realtor at Coldwell Banker, Atlantic Avenue, is officially naming the best area to live in Delray Beach:

THE BEACH HUB® 

TRADEMARK RICHREALESTATES.COM

SO WHAT IS THE BEACH HUB® ?

THE BEACH HUB® Atlantic Avenue

KRISTEN explains THE BEACH HUB®  as an actual shape of an "H."

"If you look at a map, THE BEACH HUB®  is located between Federal Highway and A1A (Ocean Avenue). The center of the "H" is, of course, the famous Atlantic Avenue. A property in Delray Beach that falls between Federal and Ocean, and hugs as close as possible to Atlantic Avenue, is one of the most desirable properties in Delray Beach."

THE BEACH HUB® Delray Beach

Now, for the bad news. Ask your local Real Estate agent (or just call Kristen Rich) what is currently available in the THE BEACH HUB®, and you are not going to like the answer! If you are lucky, you may stumble across a new listing and be able to jump on it in time! However, most properties listed at market price in THIS community go off the MLS before you can blink an eye! What you will find commonly in THE BEACH HUB®  Delray Beach, is a few overpriced lots of land or properties unworthy of a million dollar listing. That is not fun for any prospective buyer, but need not be discouraged. With a little work and attention you may find exactly what you are looking for. 

Desirable Neighborhood, Delray Beach
