1960s charm, modern conveniences in East Boca Raton

Boca Raton Square, often referred to as Boca Square, has cemented itself as one of Boca Raton’s premiere neighborhoods with upscale homes and proximity to downtown. "It's in a great location, it's about 15 minutes from Downtown Boca and the beach," says Alina Schwartz, a Realtor with One Sotheby's International Realty who has lived in East Boca Raton for over 20 years. The neighborhood’s location near the highway and much of the city’s best amenities appeals to prospective residents, as well as the highly rated schools in the Palm Beach County School District. The neighborhood has a CAP Index crime score of 1, and the area’s safety is another draw for potential residents.

Remodeled ranch homes and lake views

Boca Square’s palm tree-lined roads are lined mostly with ranch homes built in the late 1950s and throughout the 60s and 70s. Though single-family homes are the primary option in the neighborhood, condos are also available for sale. Home prices typically range from $625,000 to $1.3 million for fully renovated homes. The community hasn't grown since it was originally built, but its not rare for an older home to be torn down to build a new, modern build. These newly built homes can be priced in the multi-millions. Homes have kept their curb appeal throughout the years, and some offer lake views. A big draw for prospective residents is that Boca Square does not have HOA fees.
