Yes and no, if you are willing to walk or bike, then absolutely. PalmTran is the main bus in the area, but you can get around the main parts by bike easier than bus. If you are going to work outside the city, you'll want to check routes and pickup/dropoff times. I have a car, but like to bike to the store and whatnot rather than drive. http://www.PalmTran.org - Tue Feb 3 2009, 19:36

PBG is a really nice place to live, especially if you have children. The Burns Rd. Rec Center has a huge playground, offers classes, camps, etc, there is a pool and a small waterpark type pool for the little kids.
PBG also has festivals and whatnot, right now the Greenmarket is in season on Sundays. There are a ton of other parks and playgrounds scattered around, some w/ 'big kid' things such as tennis courts, basketball courts, jogging tracks, heart trails, etc. http://www.pbgfl.com
The Gardens Mall is wonderful and very high class. http://www.thegardensmall.com
Lots of other shopping as well, pretty much anything you can want is within a 5 minute drive. My husband teases and says I live in a box because I don't have to go more than a 5 mile radius of our house.
PBG is also very close to Jupiter and Juno Beach, which are wonderful towns as well. Beaches are gorgeous, and well kept. Abacoa, in Jupiter, also has a ton of stuff going on.
Not too far from CityPlace in West Palm Beach for nightlife.
I highly recommend it. I have lived in Tampa, and moved back to PBG a little over a year ago. There is nothing quite like good 'ol PBG. But if you are looking in the area, Jupiter, Juno, Tequesta, North Palm, and PBG are all good areas. - Tue Feb 3 2009, 19:30

Check out Cafemom.com. GREAT website, kind of like a Facebook for moms. There are a few play groups in PB county and one specific to the Jupiter/PBG area.
Also, post to Craigslist for a sitter or daycare. There are some really good home daycares in the area for around $150 /week, but that's for a single, not sure about 2. - Tue Feb 3 2009, 19:16
