Seacrest
Suburban Neighborhood in Delray Beach, Florida
Palm Beach County 33444, 33483
Charming homes on waterfront properties
The most popular architectural styles here are ranches, bungalows, and Spanish Mission homes, though there are a few new modern and custom builds. Properties in Seacrest are generally priced higher than other areas in Delray Beach. Still, Sadownick, who has been selling in the Delray Beach area since 2004, says, "As you go north, you're going away from Atlantic Avenue, and the prices go down a little bit." Small to mid-sized homes here start around $550,000, but prices can rise quickly, surpassing $1.8 million, while larger three-to-five-bedroom Spanish Mission and custom coastal contemporary homes often sell for between $1 million and $3 million. There are also some custom estates here, which can go for more than $7 million. Many homes are on oversized lots that max out around half an acre, and because the community is bordered by water to the east and the west, there are plenty of opportunities for waterfront living. In fact, most of the condos and townhouses here sit along the Intracoastal Waterway. Small two- and three-bedrooms condos built in the late 20th and early 21st centuries offer more an affordable price point, selling for between $430,000 and $690,000, while large renovated or newly built luxury units start around $900,000 and can easily surpass $3.3 million.

Community parks flank Lake Ida
For some, outdoor recreation here is as close as the backyard dock that juts out into the Intracoastal or Lake Ida. But for the landlubbers, Lake Ida is flanked by three parks that provide easy access to boat launches, fishing piers, scenic picnic spots and a designated dog park. "If you have a canoe, you can actually connect to all three lakes (Ida, Eden, and Osborne) using the canal," says local Realtor Michelle Sadownick with Realty Home Advisors. The neighborhood is also home to the AC Delray Seacrest Soccer Complex, a public sports club where kids and adults often play in rec and competitive leagues. The neighborhood is also less than 1 mile from the Seacrest Scrub Natural Area, a 54-acre wilderness park largely untouched by the surrounding urban development. And across the Intracoastal Waterway is Gulf Stream Golf Club, an exclusive private club with an 18-hole course designed by renowned golf course architect Donald Ross.

Plumosa School of the Arts is in the center of the neighborhood
The neighborhood is served by the Palm Beach County Public School District, which includes Plumosa School of the Arts, a specialized kindergarten through eighth-grade institution in the heart of the community. Plumosa divides students into discipline-specific "houses," like the Haus of Chopin for keyboard and piano, the Haus of Aasir for dance, and the Haus of Kroma for visual and digital arts. Niche graded it a B-minus. Alternatively, students can attend Carver Community Middle School, graded a C-plus on Niche. For high school, many students attend Atlantic Community High School, graded a B-plus. The neighborhood also has two well-rated private Christian schools: Unity School and St. Vincent Ferrer School.

The city of Delray Beach hosts popular holiday events
The city of Delray Beach hosts several popular annual and recurring events, including a Christmas Tree Lighting and Yuletide Fair at the end of November. A holiday village is also set up downtown in Old School Square Park. It stays open through December and includes everything from local vendor booths to ice skating and carousel rides. Come summertime, the city's annual GreenMarket is a hot spot. Also held at Old School Square, this certified sustainable market has over 50 vendors selling farm-to-table produce, grass-fed, organic meats, locally grown flowers, and artisan desserts. It's held every Saturday morning in June and July.
U.S. Route 1, I-95 are nearby
Seacrest is conveniently located near U.S. Route 1 and U.S. Interstate 95, two busy thoroughfares that run parallel to each other along the East Coast. Both routes are regularly used by commuters working in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, about 18 and 14 miles away, respectively. Public transit is relatively accessible here, with Palm Tran buses picking up throughout the community. The closest major airport is Palm Beach International, about 16 miles from town.Shopping, dining along U.S. Route 1
Most dining and shopping options are found along U.S. Route 1, a major commuter thoroughfare that runs through the neighborhood. Two popular options for groceries and daily essentials are Publix and Walmart, which sit just outside the community. When it comes to fresh fish, Captain Clay and Sons Seafood Market has been the go-to since 2007. It's run by Captain Clay S. Brand , a native Floridian and 40-year commercial fisherman. There are also several beloved eateries along the main drag, including Sande's Restaurant, an old-school cash-only American diner known for its breakfast dishes. Another mainstay eatery is Bees Knees Diner, which specializes in breakfast and brunch cuisine. For something a bit hardier, Enigma Bistro is an award-winning roadhouse known for its traditional Cuban dishes and "fall off the porch" sangria. Even more options await in Delray Beach's downtown entertainment district, about 3 miles away.
