Gogo's take on Delta
“Go. The Delta area of Palm Beach Gardens is a safe, quiet suburban and commercial pocket with very low rates of violent crime and active local police patrol. While it is primarily functional and car-oriented rather than a tourist district, visitors have little reason for safety concern.”
