Boca West Realty is the exclusive on-site real estate office serving Boca West. The following questions and answers are provided to help buyers better understand the community, the real estate market, and how to navigate a purchase inside Boca West.

Why should buyers work with Boca West Realty when purchasing in Boca West?

Boca West Realty is the exclusive on-site real estate office serving Boca West and focuses solely on this community.

While Boca West includes approximately 4,000 residences, only about 40 to 50 homes are typically available for sale at any given time. This creates a highly competitive and timing-sensitive market.

Because Boca West Realty operates exclusively within the community, the team has deep, day-to-day knowledge of neighborhoods, buildings, floor plans, views, pricing patterns, and buyer demand that is not visible through public listing platforms. This focus allows buyers to receive guidance that is specific, current, and highly localized.

Are there real estate agents on-site at Boca West?

Yes. Boca West Realty operates a dedicated Welcome Sales Center located outside the gates of Boca West. Our team of nearly a dozen professionals are available to assist with all aspects of real estate including rental properties, buying or selling.

The Welcome Sales Center serves as an entry point for buyers who want to learn about Boca West neighborhoods, housing options, and current availability. Buyers can speak directly with in-house professionals who are on-site daily specializing exclusively in Boca West, including Mallory McCabe, Beth Schlossberg, and Lindsey Joshua. On-site access is especially valuable in a low-inventory environment where preparation and timing matter.

How is Boca West different from other residential communities in Boca Raton?

Boca West is distinguished by its scale, maturity, and depth of lifestyle.

As a residential community, Boca West offers a wide range of neighborhoods, price points, and housing styles while maintaining a cohesive, well-established environment. The community has evolved intentionally over time rather than through phased new construction.

Boca West Country Club, located within the community, is often described as a “cruise ship on land” due to the breadth of amenities, programming, and multi-generational activities offered year-round.

What types of homes are available in Boca West?

Boca West offers a diverse mix of condominiums, townhomes, villas, and single-family residences.

A defining feature of the community is that every neighborhood has been designed around the 72 holes of golf that weave throughout Boca West. Homes are positioned to capture golf course views, water vistas, and open green space, emphasizing privacy and visual openness.

While Boca West includes select neighborhoods of larger single-family estate homes, the majority of residences are designed for carefree, maintenance-friendly country club living with an emphasis on lifestyle and views rather than size alone.

Is Boca West suitable for seasonal or part-time residents?

Yes. Boca West is well suited for seasonal and part-time residents.

Many homeowners split their time between South Florida and northern residences or travel internationally during the summer months. Boca West is structured to support this lifestyle through gated security, professionally maintained neighborhoods, and a community culture that accommodates extended time away.

When residents return, the community remains active, fully staffed, and operational year-round.

How competitive is the Boca West real estate market?

The Boca West real estate market is highly competitive and nuanced.

Some homes sell quickly, while others require precise pricing and positioning. Public listing platforms often do not reflect the full scope of buyer demand within specific neighborhoods or buildings.

Because Boca West Realty is deeply engaged within the community, the team often has early awareness of homes that may be coming to market before they are publicly listed. This allows buyers to prepare in advance and act decisively when the right opportunity becomes available.

What is the price range of homes in Boca West?

Home pricing within Boca West spans a wide range.

At the entry level, buyers can purchase a smaller, maintenance-friendly golf retreat within Boca West, often with home pricing under $400,000, while still gaining access to the Boca West Country Club lifestyle.

At the higher end, Boca West includes luxury offerings such as Akoya, a private, full-service condominium within the community, where select residences have traded at prices reaching up to approximately $7 million.

Between these ranges are numerous options varying by view, location, and level of renovation.

How does Boca West Country Club membership work?

Boca West Country Club operates independently from Boca West Realty.

Membership applications, approvals, costs, and policies are handled directly by the Club’s Membership Department. Boca West Realty facilitates introductions and helps buyers plan their purchase with an understanding that membership is a meaningful lifestyle commitment.

The Boca West Country Club membership year begins on October 1 and operates on an annual basis. The Club is always the definitive source for current membership information.

What should buyers understand before purchasing in Boca West?

Boca West is a lifestyle-driven residential community of exceptional scale and reputation.

Boca West Country Club is widely regarded as one of the most respected private clubs in the country and internationally. The Club is known for strong governance, long-term planning, and consistent reinvestment in amenities and services.

Notably, there has never been an assessment on the Boca West Country Club membership, despite decades of expansion and enhancement. Improvements are planned and funded within the Club’s operating model, reflecting disciplined financial stewardship.

What should buyers consider from a long-term perspective?

When evaluating any private club community, buyers often look beyond the residence itself and consider governance, management stability, and financial discipline.

Boca West Country Club is recognized for strong leadership and a long-term planning approach that prioritizes consistency and predictability. Understanding how a community is managed and how improvements are funded helps buyers make informed lifestyle decisions.

When should buyers start working with Boca West Realty?

Ideally, buyers should begin working with Boca West Realty as soon as they start considering Boca Raton.

Registered buyers receive a monthly e-newsletter highlighting activity across Boca West and Boca West Country Club, including events, amenities, and community updates. Buyers also receive ongoing notifications about new listings as they become available.

Early engagement allows buyers to stay informed, build context, and be prepared when the right home comes to market.
