Delray Beach for the Young Crowd?

Hello,

My husband and I were planning a trip to visit Delray Beach and look at Apt complexes to rent there for maybe a year or two. We are in our 30s a passed the whole club/crazy night life scene. We don’t need to be near the action always. But we heard Delray is nice and it’s near where my mom recently moved.

Problem is we ran into my husbands moms neighbor friends and they were saying we would not like Delray bc there are a lot college kids and partying and high schoolers and it’s very nightlife oriented and too crazy. they said it’s too young there. It’s not for a married couple looking to settle down soon. They said they didn’t like Delray and they advised us to go outside of it. They were looking into moving there but did not like it.

Is this true and what has been your experience with Delray? My uncle had recommended it as a place for us to consider and a couple of other people. We are planning tours of apt complexes there in 2 weeks. So this was a bit disheartening to hear.
