About
Few cities in South Florida were as deliberately designed as Boca Raton — its Mediterranean Revival architecture, world-renowned golf courses, and miles of protected Atlantic coastline are the product of careful planning, not accident. The legendary Boca Raton Resort & Club has anchored the shoreline for generations. Florida Atlantic University and the upscale Mizner Park shopping and arts district sit at the center of town. Gated communities with championship golf, waterfront estates along the Intracoastal, and luxury high-rises on the beach complete a picture that balances resort indulgence with genuine livability. City ordinances cap building heights, so the skyline stays low and the beach stays open.
