Boca del Mar blends housing variety with many, many nearby amenities
The planned community of Boca del Mar may not technically be a part of Boca Raton, but locals consider it a big part of what they call “Central Boca.” Francine Bisson, a Realtor with Re/Max Select Group who sells throughout Palm Beach County, says the community’s location is one of its main selling points. “It matters because not everyone wants to live on the beach, but people don’t necessarily want to live really far west either. This is right in the middle of everything,” she says. Not only do Boca del Mar’s residents have a huge variety of housing options to choose from, they have restaurants, houses of worship, a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course and proximity to some of the city’s best shopping centers, parks, country clubs and beaches.
Many Boca del Mar homes offer waterfront views and resort-style amenities.

Within the park is the Children’s Science Explorium, which has indoor activities for kids from five to 12 years old. Boca Raton’s many beaches, including the popular Red Reef Park, are within 10 miles. Some residents get exercise simply biking around Boca Raton. “There are more bike paths now that were not there 20 or 30 years ago. But in the last five years, [the city’s] made an effort to add more,” Bisson says. For indoor recreation, some residents can utilize their subdivisions’ fitness rooms, and others can join the Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton located on Palmetto Circle South.
