University Park has a desirable address and strong schools
University Park offers relative affordability and highly rated schools in the heart of Boca Raton. "It's right in central Boca Raton, so you're close to fine dining and retail and near Florida Atlantic University and Lynn University," says Realtor Chuck Luciano with Compass Realty. Luciano has over two decades of experience. The community of over 4,500 residents gets its name from the educational institutions on or near its eastern border. "It's a very desirable community... Still, it's relatively affordable because it has some older homes." Luciano also says its location has helped steady home values. "The beauty of [University Park] is that it's a desirable address that has stood against the ups and downs of the housing market."

Subdivisions with Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes
University Park has several subdivisions, some gated. Palm, oak and myrtle trees line winding roads. Homes are somewhat densely built, but most have backyards large enough for private pools and lanais. Most residences have terracotta tile roofs and stucco exterior walls. Smaller communities feature Mediterranean-inspired ranch-style and bungalow homes priced between $700,000 and $900,000. Other larger communities feature more sprawling, Spanish Colonial Revival-inspired estate-like homes that often price between $1 million and $4 million. Some subdivisions, like Les Jardins, feature a community clubhouse and pool, while others, like Millpond, have private parks with tennis courts. In most subdivisions, buyers should expect to pay monthly HOA fees between $200 and $1,200. University Park is vulnerable to inland flooding and structural damage during Florida's hurricane season, so adequate homeowner's insurance is necessary.
