Boca Raton's History

From Addison Mizner to Mizner Park

Originally established in 1895, Boca Raton has a rich history that has become a staple in the development of South Florida's real estate market and population growth.  Boca Raton has just under 90,000 residents within the city limits and is the 25th most populous city in the State of Florida. There are approximately over 200,000 residents located in the surrounding areas of unincorporated Boca Raton.

Renowned architect Addison Mizner was the visionary behind Boca Raton's development and architecture that is still evident throughout the city.  Boca Raton is known for its extravagant Mediterranean-inspired architecture. Boca Raton's development dates back to 1920, when Addison Mizner was commissioned by the Boca Raton town council to design a world-class resort, the Cloister Inn, known today as the Boca Raton Resort & Club.  Addison Mizner's influence remains today with Boca Raton's beautiful Mediterranean architecture with Spanish revival designs.

Boca Raton's History

The New Boca Raton

While the city has seen many changes over the years, Boca Raton is undergoing a drastic makeover, especially in Downtown Boca.  Just in the last couple of years, over 800 residential units have been built or are under construction and the Mandarin Oriental, pictured here, is one of the most controversial projects ever to come to town. The old Boca Raton is fading and a younger generation is taking residence here.  A large student population from Florida Atlantic Univerisity and Lynn University, along with new companies taking homestead in Boca Raton have brought in young families and young professionals alike.  

One neighborhood behind Mizner Park called Boca Villas has seen incredible changes with old Florida homes being torn down and contemporary mansions built in their place.  The land value is booming in Downtown Boca.  Several real estate developers have taken notice and are constructing condo buildings near Mizner Park including Tower 155, 327 Royal Palm, Alina Residences which is next door to Townsend Place, as well as rental buildings like 101 Via Mizner, Palmetto Promenade and The Mark which is adjacent to existing buildings Palmetto Place and Boca Grand

This section was created for today's homebuyers who are seeking a quiet and private lifestyle with added security and the need for a safe and luxurious lifestyle. Gated communities attract many for their strong security measures as well as the country club-style amenities. Here is a sampling of the most popular Boca Raton gated communities.

Boca Raton Golf & Country Club Homes

Boca Raton has always been known for its luxury lifestyle, golf courses and country clubs dating back to the origins of the world-renowned Boca Raton Resort and Club.  From that, Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club was born and the rest followed.  From public golf courses like Red Reef to private exclusive country club communities like Woodfield Country Club, Broken Sound Country Club, and St. Andrews Country Club, each has its own distinct characteristics.  The majority of Boca Raton Country Clubs require membership and an upfront equity buy-in or initiation fee that allows residents of these communities to contribute to the high costs of running a golf course, country club, restaurants, and full staff that come with the luxury lifestyle.  Initiation and equity fees can range from $50,000 and exceed $130,000 in select neighborhoods.  In addition, there are monthly or quarterly homeowner's association (HOA) fees that range from $400 to $750 per month, often covering expenses like landscaping, 24/7 security guards, gate-manned entrances, and the clubhouse facilities.  If that's not enough, there are mandatory annual dues that are often required and can range from $12,000 to over $20,000 per year that cover the costs of maintaining the golf courses, tennis courts, restaurant staff, spa services, and professional golf and tennis instructors that are typically found in these country club communities.  While these costs may deter some homebuyers, the lower housing prices are often attractive and can offset the upfront and annual dues.  For example, a home in Broken Sound Country Club that's 2,500 square feet with a pool may cost $400,000.  That same home outside of the country club in a similar location would be over $500,000.  If a homebuyer adds the cost of equity, initiation fees, and annual dues, they may be able to justify such costs and utilize the country club as well.  It all depends on what type of lifestyle you choose and if you love golf and tennis and enjoy the luxury of having on-site restaurants, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, privacy and security, all within the secure walls of your neighborhood, it could be the perfect option for you.

For those who don't need the seclusion and privacy of a gated community and desire a more established 'neighborhood' feeling, there are several upscale non-gated communities in Boca Raton that are maintained by the residents who live there as opposed to having a homeowners association dictate rules and regulations.  Such communities are located in every section of Boca Raton and include their own unique characteristics and distinct atmosphere.  New Floresta in central Boca Raton is an upscale non-gated community with beautiful Mediterranean-inspired single-family homes.  Situated on the exclusive St. Andrews Boulevard lies Colonnade, Timbercreek, Millpond, and Strathmore, all of which are single-family home developments with non-gated entrances.  In East Boca Raton, communities like Palm Beach Farms, Boca Square, and Royal Oak Hills are equally as desirable for their lovely home designs and close proximity to the beach and downtown Boca Raton.  Below is a sampling of the most popular non-gated communities in Boca Raton.  Click the name of the community to view more information, photos, descriptions, and current listings for sale and rent.
