Living in Long Lake Estates
Long Lake Estates is a guard-gated community of custom estate homes in West Boca Raton, on the south side of Clint Moore Road just west of the Florida Turnpike. Roughly 117 individually designed houses sit on oversized homesites, most an acre or more, and much of the neighborhood faces the community's lakes. There is no country club membership to buy, and current public listings typically ask between roughly $2 million and $8 million, with the largest lakefront estates reaching into eight figures.
Long Lake Estates sits in West Boca Raton's 33496 ZIP code, on the south side of Clint Moore Road and just west of the Florida Turnpike. Clint Moore runs east to the Turnpike and I-95, which keeps downtown Boca Raton and the beaches a short drive away and makes trips to Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airports straightforward. The neighborhood itself is quiet and wooded, with the community's lakes woven between the streets and big, shaded lots that feel a world away from the condominium towers on the coast.
The community is guard-gated and exclusively single-family, with roughly 117 custom homes and almost no repetition in design. There is no clubhouse and no country club membership to buy, so monthly carrying costs come down to homeowners association dues rather than club fees. What buyers are really paying for is land and water: most of the community's homesites carry lake views, and the combination of a guarded entry, one-acre-plus lots, and private lakes is rare in Boca Raton at this scale.
Home styles run from classic Florida ranch and Mediterranean designs that date to the 1970s and 1980s to extensively renovated and completely rebuilt contemporary estates. Many homes have been modernized or replaced over the years, so today's Long Lake Estates reads as a mix of original charm and new construction. Floor plans commonly span from roughly 3,700 to more than 12,000 square feet, with five to nine or more bedrooms, and lakefront homesites are the most sought after. Because the lots are oversized, most homes carry generous pool, patio, and outdoor-living space around them.
Current public listings tell a clear price story: most homes in Long Lake Estates are asking between roughly $2 million and $8 million, with the largest lakefront estates reaching into eight figures and a few outliers above that. Recent sales have clustered in the low to mid-millions. Because so many homes have been rebuilt, asking prices track the quality of the construction as much as the lot, so a renovated estate can show a very different price per square foot than an original home. For a precise look at what is on the market this week, Jean-Luc can pull the current inventory and recent sales for you.
Request Current Long Lake Estates ListingsLong Lake Estates appeals to buyers who want the space of West Boca without giving up privacy or water views. It is one of the few addresses in Boca Raton where you can buy a gated, one-acre-plus lot with a lake in front of the house, which makes it a natural fit for families that want room to spread out, for executives who want a quiet, secure compound minutes from the Turnpike, and for buyers relocating from suburban Northeast markets who are used to larger lots and find coastal Boca too dense. There is no membership to buy and no resort calendar to keep, just a private, land-rich community a short drive from everything the city offers.

Straight answers about living at Long Lake Estates, from the location and the buildings to amenities, management, and what is close by.
Long Lake Estates is in West Boca Raton, in the 33496 ZIP code, on the south side of Clint Moore Road just west of the Florida Turnpike. Downtown Boca Raton and the beaches are a short drive east, and I-95 connects from Clint Moore Road.
Yes. Long Lake Estates is a guard-gated community that restricts entry to residents and their guests, one of the reasons the neighborhood stays quiet and private.
Much of it is. The community is built around a series of lakes, and a majority of the roughly 117 homesites carry lake views, with many homes sitting directly on the water.
Custom single-family estate homes, from original ranch and Mediterranean designs dating to the 1970s and 1980s to extensively renovated and rebuilt contemporary estates. Floor plans commonly span about 3,700 to more than 12,000 square feet with five to nine or more bedrooms, on oversized homesites of an acre or more.
Current public listings span from original ranch and Mediterranean homes at more moderate prices to extensively rebuilt contemporary estates that command premium eight-figure prices, with most activity concentrated in between. Because so many homes have been rebuilt, pricing tracks the quality of the construction as much as the lot. Prices shift with inventory, so a local agent has the current picture.
There is no country club membership to buy. Homeowners association dues cover the community's 24/7 gated entry and common grounds, with figures set by the association's current budget and appearing in today's listings. The community has no golf-course amenities of its own, so buyers who want club life typically join a nearby private club.
Long Lake Estates falls within the Palm Beach County School District, with well-regarded schools nearby and access to the district's magnet and Choice programs. The district adopted new attendance-zone maps for the 2026-27 school year; the current assignment for a specific address appears on the maps at palmbeachschools.org.
The community sits a roughly 15- to 20-minute drive from the beaches, with the Florida Turnpike just east of the neighborhood for trips north or south. Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airports are both within easy reach by car.
