Highland Beach
At only 1.1 square miles, the Town of Highland Beach is a tiny slice of heaven less than 2 miles long located at the northeastern tip of Boca Raton between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, we border action-packed Delray Beach - Highland Beach real estate owners are just a short golf cart ride from the bustling Atlantic Ave. with abundant shopping, restaurants, public beaches, and lively nightlife with live music and something for everyone.
The oceanfront homes of Highland Beach are unique to the area and the only opportunity to own an oceanfront single family home for miles. These home typically cover between 80' of oceanfront all the way up to 150' or more of oceanfront - with the wider lots commanding premium prices. Some very special estates cover span A1A spanning from ocean front to Intracoastal front with ocean front on the east and bock dockage on the west. These are the most rare Highland Beach homes and command the biggest premium. The original build era of this area was the 1950's and 60's although at the time, it was not desirable to live directly on the ocean - imagine that! There are very few of these original build era homes and small multi family units remaining. The land value - as I'm sure you can imagine - is extraordinary.
Highland Beach is a small and quiet town with it's own public services. Without a single traffic light, the quiet and relaxing Town of Highland Beach serves as nesting grounds for endangered sea turtles. From March through October, turtles come to the shores and lay thousands of eggs in nests all along the beaches. Weeks later, the hatchlings burst from the sand and make their way to the moonlit sea.
