Boca Raton · Palm Beach County

# Buying & selling in Boca Raton

Boca splits cleanly along I-95. East of the highway you get older, smaller lots, walkability to downtown and the beach, and a genuine supply of homes with no association. West of it you get gated country club communities, newer construction and monthly fees that need to be part of the budget conversation from day one.

East of I-95 is where buyers can still find older single family homes with no HOA, especially around Boca Villas, the Golden Triangle and Old Floresta. That distinction matters more here than buyers expect. Boca enforces unusually tight architectural and signage standards citywide, and most newer communities layer their own association rules on top. A no-HOA property inside the city is a genuinely different proposition.

Old Floresta is the historic exception — 1920s Addison Mizner-era homes on large, heavily planted lots, and effectively its own micro-market with very little turnover.

Downtown and Mizner Park is the condo and lock-and-leave market: walkable to restaurants and the amphitheatre, popular with seasonal owners, and priced on building and view rather than square footage alone.

West Boca — Broken Sound, Boca West, Woodfield and the surrounding gated communities — trades walkability for space, amenities and newer construction. Buyers here need to look carefully at equity or membership requirements, which vary community to community and can change the real cost substantially.

Questions

## Boca Raton FAQ

Should I look east or west of I-95?

East if you want to walk to downtown or the beach and you'd rather have an older home on a smaller lot with no association. West if you want newer construction, more square footage, and community amenities, and you're comfortable with the monthly cost that comes with them. Both are legitimate — the mistake is shopping both at once without deciding which trade you're actually making.

Can I find a Boca Raton home without an HOA?

Yes, mostly in the older neighborhoods east of I-95, including Boca Villas, the Golden Triangle and parts of Old Floresta. These homes are scarcer than buyers assume, so it helps to decide early how important avoiding an association is to your search.

What should I know about buying into a country club community?

Ask early about mandatory membership, equity versus non-equity structures, initiation costs and annual minimums. These vary considerably between communities and can add meaningfully to the true cost of ownership. It's a question worth answering before you tour, not after you've fallen for a house.

Do you work north of Boca as well?

I work south Palm Beach County regularly — a recent closing was a six-bedroom in Lake Worth at $835,000. I also work throughout Broward, especially in Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
