The neighborhood
East Boca Raton most commonly means everything east of I-95 to the Atlantic Ocean, including the barrier island. The core band east of Federal Highway (US-1) is the historic, most walkable, and generally priciest section, roughly bordered by Federal Highway on the west, the Intracoastal and beach on the east, Glades Road on the north, and downtown on the south.
Its neighborhoods are storied: Old Floresta with 1925 Addison Mizner-designed homes on brick streets; the Golden Triangle and Boca Villas, no-HOA estate enclaves of about 425 homes; The Roads; Harbour East waterfront estates; and the barrier-island enclaves with oceanfront high-rise condos along A1A.
Reported 2025-2026 data: the east Boca 33431 ZIP showed a median sale price near $690,000 (up about 22.6% year over year), with entry condos around $400,000 to $600,000, renovated condos and townhomes $700,000 to $1 million, single-family homes $1 million to $2 million, and waterfront estates $2 million to $5 million and up.
