Palm Beach County isn't exactly 'gun friendly' per se but compared to New York it would be.
Also why West Palm? Palm Beach County is kind of full 
Honestly, if I could, I'd look elsewhere. |

Except for open carry/constitutional carry, Florida is very gun friendly.
Even better, that applies to the whole state due to our exemption laws. |

I'd move to Jupiter at least. United Technology?
Next county up would be a big improvement. |

Palm Beach County can use another conservative minded, gun loving, Republican voter.
It's plenty gun friendly here due to our state's excellent preemption laws. Florida is a "shall issue state"; get yourself a Florida concealed firearms and weapons licence as soon as you can. And the latest edition of this book:

What these guys said...I'm in the county. It's crowed, expensive, & not very friendly overall. If I could I'd move also.
I will say I did see a lot of Trump support going on. A co worker of mine just got a house in Jupiter. I don't know about a good 1:30 each way to work but he couldn't find anything affordable in palm beach. |

Thanks for all of the replies. Not going to lie, I'm excited for this and hope the offer makes it worth while
ETA: forgot to mention this but I'll plan on apartment living for the first year, or less, to make sure this is a good fit. Any areas to stay away from? |

Born in Broward county, grew up/lived in West Palm Beach (more specifically Royal Palm Beach, and Loxahatchee) for about 20 years, with some more Broward county sprinkled in there while I was in college. Like a few others have suggested, go as far north as possible that will give you a reasonable commute, Jupiter or even Martin County. It is extremely congested from pretty much Palm Beach Gardens until you hit Key West unless you are a good distance West of I-95/Turnpike. I left in 2009 and moved to the West Coast of Florida and enjoy it much more.

I live in Wellington. Its fairly nice here. Although the summer heat/humidity in So FL is miserable. I've lived in PBC for 44 years and I'll be looking to move to a more rural area in the near future.
Palm Beach County is liberal, but the further west you go (Jupiter Farms, Royal Palm Beach, The Acreage, and Loxahatchee), the more conservative it gets, generally speaking. But, yeah, you'll like the gun laws here vs NY. |

Check out unincorporated Boynton Beach west of the turnpike.
Nice area and a short commute up 441 to your job. |

Funny thing about south florida that most non-locals can't seem to wrap their heads around- there is no 'good' side of town and no 'bad' side of town. Any nice place will invariably have a shithole right next to it Also avoid any areas in which the street names consist of only letters or numbers |

Correct on the A, B, etc streets.
The dog part is currently way better than it was 15, 20 years ago (been out here over 30 years). In my area there are very few dogs running around loose, usually because some dumb ass left a gate open or does not pay attention to the fact that their dog gets out. Tequesta is a good area too. |
