Living in East Boca Raton

East Boca Raton, roughly the area east of I-95 that includes Mizner Park and the beaches, is where much of the city's most desirable real estate sits. It offers oceanfront and intracoastal condos, single-family homes in leafy neighborhoods, and the cosmopolitan pull of Mizner Park and Royal Palm Place.

The beach and the intracoastal define the map

East Boca is bordered by the Atlantic to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, and its identity comes from that water. Buyers choose oceanfront high-rises for the view, intracoastal homes for the boat lift and dock, and tree-lined single-family streets for privacy just minutes from the sand.

Mizner Park is the social center

Mizner Park anchors the eastern side of the city with shopping, dining, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, and the amphitheater. Royal Palm Place across the street adds more restaurants and a Mediterranean village feel, making this one of the liveliest areas in all of Boca.

Luxury in every format

East Boca is where you will find the full range of luxury formats: gated single-family estates, low-rise Mediterranean villas, and full-service oceanfront condo buildings with pools, gyms, and concierge staff. It is the default first stop for many waterfront buyers.
