Within walking distance to the beach

With prime location being one of the real estate adages, much is going for the Chapel Hill neighborhood in Boynton Beach, about 55 miles from downtown Miami. In the case of Chapel Hill, the variety of homes and prices, the range of parks and the convenience of services and entertainment all point to why this Boynton Beach neighborhood is one of the most popular in the area. Most homes in the Chapel Hill neighborhood are within 2 miles of world-class beaches; some homes even have a great view of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Wide range of prices

There’s a home option for almost every budget. “One-bedroom condos in the neighborhood, for example, with amenities like a pool, fitness center, and a clubhouse, start at around $200,000,” says James Arena, a Realtor, owner, and broker with Arena and Company Real Estate. He grew up in the Chapel Hill neighborhood. “Contrast that with estate homes on large lots, on the water, that sell in the millions.” In between are townhouses that begin at $400,000 and single-family homes that start at $500,000. “What matters is the lot size and proximity of the Intracoastal Waterway,” Arena says. “The larger and closer to the water, the more high-end and high-cost the homes become.” Another attraction for living in Chapel Hill is the absence of homeowners association fees. A few condos and townhouses with a water view have fees between $600 and $800 monthly.

Top-rated hospital in the neighborhood

Green instead of water

While the beach is close, some may opt for recreation on land, including the parks in Chapel Hill. Parks like Forest Hills and Betty Thomas are dog-friendly and have lots of activities for kids, including swing sets and jungle gyms. There are also picnic areas and basketball courts. Jaycee Park is another that sits alongside the Intracoastal Waterway. The green space in the middle of this facility was recently transformed into a dog park, with sections for large and small canines. The most significant green space in Chapel Hill is the Seacrest Scrub Natural Area, a 54-acre wilderness home to the protected gopher tortoise and part of the Great Florida Bird and Wildlife Trail.
