Gogo's take on Stacey Street
“Go with care. Lake Belvedere Estates and the Stacey Street corridor form a quiet, largely residential working-class pocket in unincorporated Palm Beach County. While violent crime rates are relatively low, the area has pockets of property theft and lacks significant visitor infrastructure, meaning there is little reason to visit outside of specific local errands.”
About the area
Situated just west of the Palm Beach International Airport corridor, Lake Belvedere Estates is an established mid-century residential neighborhood mixed with adjacent light industrial and nursery parcels. The community is characterized by modest single-family homes, dead-end residential streets, and easy access to major thoroughfares like Belvedere Road and Southern Boulevard.

Cons
