Boca Raton’s waterfront lifestyle includes oceanfront condos and intracoastal condos, in mid-rise to high-rise buildings. They offer a more moderate alternative to single family waterfront living, with gorgeous views of ocean and city, ease of maintenance and a more viable alternative for the second home buyer.
They also began their development in the 1960’s. Most of them line the oceanfront in Boca Raton, and in Highland Beach north of Spanish River Blvd., fronting both the ocean and intracoastal. Floor plans generally range from 1 to 3 bedroom units with some larger penthouses, offered as furnished or unfurnished, and prices ranging mostly from $200,000 to about $2 million.

Prices range from $800,000 to over $4 million for double units. Each building is designed with only 6 units per floor, ranging in size from 2,156 to 3,117 square feet, and to over 6,000 sq. feet for double units. All the units offer panoramic views of the
beach to the east and Boca’s wonderful city scape to the west. The Aragon is a most unique luxury condominium. There are only 41 residences in 3 – 10-story buildings but they look like one building. There are 12 customized floor plans, some of them double units, 2-story courtyard homes and penthouses with rooftop gardens; and most have their own swimming pool and spa. Prices range from $1 to over 9 million. Luxuria is an exclusive 26 unit ultra-luxury Mediterranean style condo on the beach south of the Boca Inlet. Residences range from 4,000 to more than 8,000 sq. ft and are priced from $4 million to over $9,000,000.Boca Raton Oceanfront and Intracoastal Luxury Condos
