Boca Raton, Florida
Boca Islands is a quiet enclave of canal-front homes just west of Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, a bicycle ride from The Boca Raton and its Beach Club, and a short walk to The Fresh Market, Publix and downtown dining.
The Neighborhood
Boca Islands has stayed off the radar for a simple reason: until now, no one had built a new luxury residence here.
The neighborhood sits on protected, deep-water canals in the southeast quadrant of Boca Raton, between Cypress Way and the Intracoastal Waterway. It has no homeowners' association, no gate and no through traffic. What it does have is something the celebrated waterfront pockets of northeast Boca cannot offer: a genuine neighborhood within walking distance.
The first two new-construction residences in Boca Islands are now being introduced, designed by Colestock & Muir Architects and built to a standard that has, until now, been reserved for Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club and the beachside estates. They are priced well below both.
Nearby
Times are approximate, measured from 252 SW 14th Place at an unhurried pace and in typical traffic. Buyers are encouraged to confirm any distance that matters to them.
Ten minutes by bicycle
The Boca Raton has anchored the town's social life since Addison Mizner opened the Cloister Inn in 1926. Its golf, tennis, marina, spa and dining are a ten-minute bicycle ride from Boca Islands, and the Boca Raton Beach Club, the resort's oceanfront outpost on the barrier island, is five minutes farther.
Boca Islands sits close enough to make the club a daily habit, and far enough to remain a quiet residential street.
Value
Executives relocating to new offices in West Palm Beach face a familiar choice: pay Palm Beach island prices, or accept a compromise.
Boca Islands offers a third option. A brand-new, architect-designed home on protected water, in a walkable neighborhood, thirty-five minutes from the West Palm Beach office corridor and a bicycle ride from one of the finest resort clubs in Florida, at a price that would not buy a lot on the island.
The Residences
Each residence was designed by Colestock & Muir Architects and finished by the same builder to the same specification: custom oak millwork, natural stone, a covered loggia with summer kitchen, and a private dock on protected water.

Pricing on request
The companion residence to 252, designed by the same architect and built to the same specification on another protected canal in Boca Islands. Buyers who wish to select finishes should inquire early.
A note for boaters. Boca Islands canals are protected and deep, and reach the Intracoastal Waterway beneath fixed bridges. They are well suited to center-consoles, sport boats and cruisers with modest air draft. A buyer whose first priority is a large sport-fisherman or motor yacht with unrestricted ocean access will be better served elsewhere, and we say so plainly.
