Deerfield Beach  Deerfield Beach is an older city where the population is getting younger and the elected officials are trying to improve what they already have. From its early days as a farming town, this coastal community has grown into a city of nearly 80,000 people. With big senior housing complexes such as Century Village, the average age of Deerfield Beach's residents was 48.7 in 1990, compared to 38.7 countywide. Ken and Penny enjoy walking down the newly updated promenade at Deerfield Beach, it's relaxing and good exercise. With new restaurants, hotels, shops, and the pier, there's always something to do. Evening movies and concerts are also an added charm. The city was incorporated in 1925 and named Deerfield for the deer that grazed along its waterways. The city's rules and regulations are the responsibility of the five-member City Commission.

But officials say the population is getting younger. Ken and Penny Baran have lived in Deerfield Beach for over 15 years and enjoy the year-round sun and water. They say South Florida lifestyle is all about the warm tropical breezes coming off the ocean waters. More than 85 percent of the city is built out, so officials are focusing on redevelopment rather than growth to generate tax revenue. The city is planning a 2.5-acre beachfront park with native plants, a boardwalk, a dune system, a sea turtle educational display facility, an observation deck and added parking. The city traces its beginnings as a municipality to 1890, when a settlement called Hillsboro was set up near the Hillsboro River. The commission also hires the city manager, who implements the commission's directives and is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the city. City Hall is at 150 NE Second Ave. The commission meets there at 7 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of every month, except for a summer recess for most of July and August.
