Waterfront enclave offering the best of both worlds
The Cove's name may paint the picture of a sheltered bay somewhere hidden away, but this little waterfront enclave in Deerfield Beach is so convenient that it encourages those who live here to explore the region by land and sea. The neighborhood has direct access to the Intracoastal waterways, which makes it a popular destination for boaters. Private docks are available on the limited waterfront lots, but all homeowners can enjoy the quiet streets and mature Florida landscaping without worrying about HOA fees. Shopping, dining and sandy beaches are all within walking distance, and the vibrant commercial centers of Boca Raton are under 7 miles away. "You really do get the best of both worlds,” says Tinka Ellington, executive director of luxury sales with Douglas Elliman. “There’s a hometown feeling in the midst of all these modern cities nearby, and you can enjoy pretty much anything.”

Ranch-style houses and renovated builds

Updated builds feature Spanish-Revival architecture with red-tiled roofs and stucco exteriors. Midcentury-moderns are another popular style. Most lots have well-manicured front lawns and swimming pools in the backyard, offering a great spot to beat the heat. Waterfront properties are available on the neighborhood's eastern side and come with private boat docks, making certain houses attractive to boaters.

Flooding is a concern due to the neighborhood’s location along the Intracoastal Waterway.
