The Carver Estates site is located in the Southwest corridor of the City of Delray Beach.  The Atlantic Ocean is less than 1.5 miles to the East of the site and U.S. Interstate 95 is less than a half mile to the West of the site.  A cemetery borders the site to the East and single family homes to the South. The majority of the adjacent neighborhood housing units are owner occupied dwellings.  Many of these single-family homes need rehabilitation to improve housing and neighborhood conditions. Less than a block from the site is a newly constructed, state-of-the-art Boys and Girls Club.  The Boys and Girls Club is a new positive anchor for the community.  The relocation of the residents of Carver Estates had a negative impact on school enrollment in the community, as well as, the ability of former residents to access the new Boys and Girls Club.   These facilities are now underutilized. The revitalization of the Carver Estates site will breathe new life into the community schools, and the Boys and Girls Club by providing a healthy population of families to service.
