Boca Raton may seem like an earthly paradise , but living there comes wit its own set of difficulties. Traffic across South County around the Glades Road and 95 corridor can transform an easly commute into an everyday struggle, and real estate is almost unaffordable, especially within a close radius of Mizner Park and the ocean. When it comes to the social events, they seem to be monopolized by gated neighborhoods and country clubs, and if you just moved, it may come off as somewhat elitist. Sure, the beaches as well as the downtown area look pretty , but the social isolation, high expenses and poor road networks means that newcomers to the area have a rather rough time settling in.
