Default Possibly moving to West Palm need area advise

Hey guys, my name is Tej, and I use to live in Gainesville. However I have been in South Dakota for the past 3 years getting my businesses started. Well now I am looking for a home in West Palm for my folks and my family. I am looking for a good school district and a nice safe neighborhood. Right now we are looking into the Wellington area due to the fact that they have huge houses for sale for not that much. Any opinions of that area? Thanks a lot

Wellington is not bad.

You may want to look for in the Lake Charleston (Lake Worth) area also. Its basically between turnpike/jog Rd and south of Hypoluxo Rd. The schools are better than Wellington.

I almost bought a house in Olympia a while ago. Its a very nice neighborhood and very well located. I probably know the other two but cant quite point them out.

I would check this website:

www.zillow.com

you can see all the school's info there and its pretty well laid out, it should help quite a bit.

See example:
