The community in brief
Boca Raton Beachside & South Beach at a glance.
Boca Raton's beachside strip, everything east of A1A, runs from North Beach north of Palmetto Park Road through Boca Beach between Palmetto Park and the Boca Raton Inlet to South Beach south of the inlet, all in the City of Boca Raton. The product is almost entirely condominiums, from mid-market two-bedrooms to full-floor penthouses in buildings like One South Ocean, Boca Beach Residences, and One Thousand Ocean, backed by five city beach parks including Red Reef and Spanish River. Families get the parks; investors get one of Florida's most liquid oceanfront rental markets.

HOA, condo & restrictions
Building-by-building math on the water
Every building has a condo association, and dues vary sharply with age, amenity package, and reserves; oceanfront buildings carry wind and flood insurance costs that belong in the underwriting from the first offer. Read the full fee schedule, reserves, and pending assessments for the specific building; Kelby will compare them with you.
Sources · verified October 2026
Flood zone & insurance
The county's highest-exposure strip
Essentially all properties east of A1A sit in FEMA-mapped coastal flood zones, and flood insurance is required for federally backed mortgages in Special Flood Hazard Areas. Wind coverage with hurricane deductibles, elevation certificates, and flood history should be reviewed before any offer; Kelby can connect you with an insurer who works these buildings daily.
