The community in brief
Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club at a glance.
Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club is a fully gated, 24-hour guarded community of roughly 680 to 750 homes on about 742 lots in East Boca Raton, founded in 1959 by Arthur Vining Davis and his Arvida company. It sits along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway just south of Camino Real, about half a mile from The Boca Raton resort and less than a mile from the beach and the Boca Raton Inlet. Club membership is private and by invitation, and the address works two ways: a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course on one side, deep-water yacht slips on the other.
Real-time availability is confirmed directly with Kelby: listings portals lag, and the best addresses in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club move before they are published.
Location & boundaries
On the Intracoastal, just south of Camino Real
The roughly 450-acre community sits on the west side of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, immediately south of Camino Real in East Boca Raton, ZIP 33432. Camino Real leads east to the Boca Raton Inlet and the beach, Federal Highway and U.S. 1 run a short distance west, and I-95 is roughly 3 miles inland. The Boca Raton resort sits about half a mile to the north, and downtown Boca Raton's Mizner Park is a short drive up Federal Highway.

Architecture & character
Established estate living with private docks
An older, deeply landscaped estate community where original mid-century homes sit beside fully rebuilt contemporary estates. The Jack Nicklaus Signature course was redesigned in the early 2000s and has since been renovated, and a large share of the waterfront homes keep private docks with direct ocean access through the Boca Raton Inlet. Streets are quiet, guarded, and deliberately low-profile; the club's waterside dining rooms handle the social life.

Market positioning & pricing
Entry well above $6 million, and a market that climbs steeply
Entry-level asking, from active listings October 2025 to October 2026
Active listings in the community have started around $6 million for the smallest and oldest inland homes and climbed well past $40 million along the water. Public research across 2025-2026 puts the median list price near $17.5 million, a trailing-12-month average sale price of about $11 million, and a median sale of roughly $7.7 million; Redfin data pegged new-construction listings in the community at a $13.22 million median. These are date-specific asking and closed figures, not guarantees: entry-level inventory changes by the week, so confirm the current market with Kelby before planning a visit.

Access & commute
Inlet to downtown in minutes, highways a short drive west
Camino Real and Federal Highway frame the community's north and west edges; Palmetto Park Road and Glades Road cross I-95 to the west, and the Florida Turnpike is reached via Glades Road. The Boca Raton Inlet is under a mile east for boaters, and Mizner Park, Royal Palm Place, and the beach parks on A1A are all a short drive. Palm Beach International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport are both practical options for travel.

HOA, club & restrictions
Gated security, private membership
The community is gated with 24/7 security, and club membership is private and invitation-based with an equity structure. Current membership initiation, dues, capital contributions, and HOA assessments were not itemized in this research: the answer reads Contact for current information, and Kelby can walk through the actual fee schedule when you tour.

Waterfront, flood zone & insurance
Intracoastal exposure means flood coverage is part of the math
As an Intracoastal community, much of the waterfront sits within FEMA-mapped flood zones, and flood insurance is required for federally backed mortgages in Special Flood Hazard Areas. Premiums vary with elevation, flood history, and coverage choice. Verify the exact zone for a specific property with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and an insurer; Kelby can connect you with both.

New construction & pre-construction
Rebuilt estates and occasional builder product
Unverified
Some properties enter the market as new or fully rebuilt homes, and Redfin's data confirms new-construction listings appear in the community. Current new-construction status was not verified in this research: confirm availability and pricing directly with Kelby.

Investment & rental considerations
Deep-water docks carry the option value
High-value properties with private docks and club access hold some of the strongest demand in East Boca, but at this price point the numbers depend entirely on the specific property's condition, elevation, and dock depth. General rental-yield statements were not verified; Kelby can run the resale or rental math on a specific address.
