Scenic homes next to downtown Delray Beach
The South Florida neighborhood of Tropic Isle is – apropos of its name – a waterfront enclave with scenic homes, towering palm trees and easy access to the open waters of the Intracoastal. The neighborhood has a distinct collection of architectural styles, with luxury homes often selling for millions of dollars. And while the houses tend to be eye-catching, the backyard docks attract the most attention – especially for the water lovers who often make this place their home. “When you talk about Tropic Isles, people think about homes that are on the water,” says Matt Campbell, local Realtor with Beachfront Properties. “Homes are either on the Intracoastal or little canals that connect to the Intracoastal. It’s a big boating community.” Recreation on the water is popular, though numerous parks, nature preserves, and public beaches are nearby. And the vibrant shops and restaurants of Downtown Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue are just 3 miles away.

Distinct architecture with direct Intracoastal access
Nearly every home in Tropic Isle displays a distinct architectural style, ranging from Spanish Revival and coastal contemporary to Art Deco. Homes sit on well-manicured front lawns with towering pine trees. A collection of pastel-colored ranch homes offers a modest way into the neighborhood. Most properties have backyard swimming pools, and nearly every single-family home has direct Intracoastal access with boat docks. Single-family homes with waterfront access range from $3 million to $9 million, depending on the number of bedrooms and the year constructed. Homes on dry lots price between $800,000 and $1 million. Tropic Harbor and Tropic Bay Condominium complexes provide a multifamily option. Cost, depending on waterfront access, runs from $300,000 to $1 million. Although there is no HOA, the Tropic Isle Civil Association is a voluntary group dedicated to improving and maintaining the area’s appearance.

Atlantic Avenue is the commercial hotspot
Atlantic Avenue in downtown Delray Beach is the commercial heart of the area, just 3 miles away. Luxury cars line the street as pedestrians peruse the eclectic boutiques and local art galleries. Upscale dining options range from fresh seafood at City Oyster & Sushi Bar to classic Italian cuisine at Tramonti. Deck 84 is a buzzing waterfront bar and grill serving classic American fare and weekend brunch. The party doesn’t have to stop with dinner, as favorite watering holes like The Blue Anchor British Pub and Tin Roof echo live music well into the night. “The Avenue has restaurants, shopping and live music scenes,” Campbell says. “It’s a lot of fun, and there’s lots of foot traffic.” Plenty of retail stores are closer to the neighborhood, as the Plaza at Delray is under a mile away and features a T.J. Maxx, Ross Dress for Less and Ulta Beauty. Whole Foods and Publix provide the neighborhood with groceries. There is also a Trader Joe’s nearby.

Delray Beach’s holiday celebrations
Holidays are a big deal in Delray Beach. “The city does a ton of stuff,” Campbell says. “There’s a gigantic Christmas tree that’s something like 100 feet tall that gets lit up.” The Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration and Yuletide Street Fair have illuminated the holiday season for over 30 years.
