Places to Live Nearby

Hi All, early 30s single ( male) and just got a job in the area. I was wondering where a good spot to live would be for around 2k a month. I normally like areas to go walk around, water, and maybe a decent downtown (not too city like). I also like to hike and I’m just starting to golf. I’ve heard people mention lake worth, pompano beach, Hollywood and del ray. I haven’t found too many decent affordable spots in Boca.
