The Preserve: Just Steps Away from Shopping, Dining, and Cultural Experiences  

The Preserve is an exclusive gated community in central Boca Raton at the corner of Yamato Road and Military Trail. Developed in the late 1990’s by Toll Brothers. It has about 100 custom built, single family estate homes showcasing high quality craftsmanship and Mediterranean design. The homes range in size from 3,000 square feet to just over 5,000 square feet.

Located on a 5.5-acre natural preserve, these homes have serene views of the natural land right beyond their backyard. Residents enjoy amenities including a clubhouse, playground, lap pool, tennis courts, and a fitness center.

But the best perk of all is that The Preserve is located in the heart of Boca Raton. Residents are lucky enough to be in walking and biking distance to so many enriching spots.

Patch Reef Park and Tennis Center is connected to The Preserve by a resident-accessible gate. The park offers endless opportunities for residents to enjoy, including a large playground and waterpark for children; a trail for walking, running, or biking that includes fitness equipment; tennis center with lessons, teams, and specialty camps; various sporting events; a community center with educational, fitness, and art classes; and special events throughout the year.

Residents can easily walk or bike to the Spanish River Library and surrounding Countess de Hoernle Park (also called Spanish River Athletic Facility), which provides educational, athletic, and outdoor amenities like hiking and biking trails.

The Preserve is also situated close to restaurants and stores. Residents can easily visit the Shoppes at Blue Lake or the new Altis shopping center that includes The Fresh Market grocery store, Rappy’’s deli, several casual restaurants, and a women’s clothing store.

Finally, residents are in walking distance to several houses of worship along Yamato Road and local schools including Lynn University, the Catholic high school Saint John Paul II Academy, and Don Estridge High Tech Middle School. All of these religious and educational institutions hold community events—like cultural festivals, performances, carnivals, and shopping days—that are so convenient to those living in the The Preserve.

Home owners in The Preserve have a special opportunity to take advantage of the many conveniences around them. If they choose to walk or bike, they can help alleviate the increase in traffic and impact on the environment due to some of the new development.
