The neighborhood
Downtown Boca Raton is the city's eastern redevelopment district centered on the intersection of Federal Highway (US-1) and Palmetto Park Road, with Mizner Park and Mizner Boulevard at its core. Per city design guidelines, the downtown district runs roughly from Dixie Highway on the west and NE 8th Street on the north to East Camino Real on the south.
Residential life is condominium-focused: Palmetto Place, Townsend Place, and the 384-home ALINA Residences anchor the built stock, with Mizner Park residences, the Via Mizner area, and the City Hall campus redevelopment adding product. Camino Square at 171 West Camino Real is part of the wider redevelopment program.
Reported 2025-2026 data: ZIP 33432 closed condo and townhome sales in Q4 2025 had a median of about $1,087,500 on 76 closings; active downtown condo listings range from roughly $599,000 to $1.5 million for typical resales, with a median list around $1.05 million to $1.29 million.
Downtown Boca is the walkable, urban edge of an otherwise suburban city: Mizner Park at your door, the beach a short drive, and new residential product arriving through the City Hall and Camino Square projects.
