Kings Point is one of the great snowbird capitals of Florida: a sprawling 55-plus community off West Atlantic Avenue in west Delray, home to thousands of condos arranged around golf courses, pools, and a clubhouse whose theater books a full season of shows every winter. Every October the community fills with residents flying back from New York, New Jersey and Quebec, and every April the tide runs the other way. We are, functionally, part of that migration.
The route from MIA runs about 52 miles - drivers choose between I-95 and the Turnpike depending on the hour, and the Turnpike's western approach often wins for Kings Point - taking 55 to 70 minutes on a fixed fare from $129. What makes this run different is the arrival: Kings Point is a big place with dozens of named sections, and "the front gate" is not a destination. Give us your building and section - Normandy, Flanders, Burgundy and the rest - and the car goes to your door, and so does your luggage, up to the unit if the elevator run helps. A season's worth of bags is not a curbside handoff.
Many of our Kings Point clients no longer keep a car in Florida at all, which is the arithmetic working as it should: a fixed $129 airport transfer twice a season against insurance, registration and a parking space adds up quickly in favor of the ride. We also run the local circuit - doctors' offices on Atlantic and Jog, Delray Marketplace up the road, grandchildren's visits to the beach - on general fares from $75. Book by phone if you prefer; a person answers, which our regulars tell us is increasingly the amenity that matters.
