Waterfront Homes in Boca Raton
Homes adjacent to the Ocean and Intracoastal are wonderful places to live. For individuals and families who want the best views and lifestyle that Boca Raton has to offer, waterfront homes in Boca Raton are a great option. What better way to spend the weekend than on your boat (or jet ski) that’s parked right beside your home? Fishing from the shore’s edge is a precious pastime for those living in waterfront homes in Boca.
There are always a number of spectacular waterfront homes for sale in Boca Raton and adjacent Highland Beach. Budget will play a role in the decision between a house on the ocean and one on a canal or the Intracoastal. Homes that are directly on the ocean are the most prime real estate available and, as a result, the most costly. Expect to invest $5,000,000 ++ for an oceanfront home in the Boca / Highland Beach area, whereas similar-sized homes on the Intracoastal or on one of the canals can typically be acquired for $1,500,000++.
One point to ponder is whether to purchase a home on the East or West side of the Intracoastal. Things are generally quieter and more resort-like on the East side (over the Intracoastal bridges) and properties are generally pricier as well. An additional consideration is your willingness (and patience) to wait at the bridges which open several times each hour. Necessities like Publix and Walgreens are all on the West side.
