Pelican Harbor

Most boating communities in Boca Raton across Highland Beach and into Delray Beach are ungated with homes featuring deep-water docks for yachts up to 125'. New custom home constructors have converged on their older bungalow-style Mizner Addison Mediterranean single family houses for knockdown or significant renovation. As a result, 1600 square foot residences have closed at $1000 and higher per square foot under air (UA) on the canals and two or three times as much for lots facing directly on the Intracoastal. 

However, homes for sale in Pelican Harbor, located east of Federal Highway and south of Linton Blvd, reflect an entirely different trend. Prices range between $388 and $632 square feet (UA) - less than 50% of those cited above (on average).

9 Active Listings in Pelican Harbor

Why the difference? Well, that's an easy one to point out: 

• Unlike the competitors (all single family houses), Pelican Harbor comprises 57 residences of varying property types that are a mixed bag of homes, townhouses, and condos from 1500 square feet to 3000 square feet under air (UA).
• Only a tiny percentage sits directly on the west banks of the Intracoastal waterway, with the rest mainly on dry lots. Thus, say goodbye to the compelling advantage of expansive vessels in one's backyard. The latter, relatively speaking, is a regeneration drawback.
• The boat access facility for residents is in the community's marina and consists of 72 slips with a maximum of 50 feet boat size.
• Also, buyers closing on Pelican Harbor homes for sale bought Venetian architecture constructions varying from only a few upgrades to substantial remodeling. Hence the $250 differential in pricing described above (approximately $400,000 in absolute terms on average).

Still, prices above $600 per sq ft (UA) are nothing to be sneezed at, reflecting real estate value in a luxury boutique community a stone's throw from the Atlantic ocean as the crow flies. Moreover, there's no denying:

• The marina theme runs through the neighborhood. Also, no fixed bridges and a quick transition to ocean inlets for deep-sea fishing.
• The shimmering water vistas mix in stunningly with natural tropical foliage.
• The amenities the community offers for under $500 monthly maintenance are impressive, comprising:
  • A 24-hour guardhouse.
  • Two heated pools, sundeck, and loungers.
  • Tennis and pickleball courts.
  • A clubhouse with a gym and community socializing rooms.

We should point out that value variance applies to Pelican Harbor homes with a Capital V (i.e., $250 represents a massive 62% differential), depending on the position in the development, how dated or modern it looks, and the type of unit up for purchase. Current homeowners, in some cases, have renovated interiors.

A primary feature of Pelican Harbor is its centrality to Downtown Delray Beach areas. In combination, the region provides access to nearly 200 eateries and bars, live entertainment, and every metropolis convenience under the sun. Banks, supermarkets, beauty salons, shopping malls, clinics, parks, golf courses, and sports facilities (to mention but a few) are here, there, and everywhere. As a resident of Pelican Harbor, you can get to international airports via the I-95 in under thirty minutes and excellent schools (see below) much sooner than that.

ZFC understands customers looking for homes for sale in Pelican Harbor. Accordingly, we know they considered ten other boating communities like Bel Lido Isle in Highland Beach,  Golden Harbour, The Sanctuary, Royal Palm Yacht Club, Boca Bay Colony, Boca Marina Yacht Club in Boca and Tropic Isle or Tropic Harbor as a Delray Beach waterfront option near Pelican Harbor (Tropic Isle is directly to the north and Boca Bay Colony is directly across the C-15 canal from Pelican Harbor). To reiterate, this entire group represents a different lifestyle with private mega-vessel docking and new construction starting in the two millions. They also looked at Delray Harbor Club in Delray Beach - a realistic, less pricey competitor community.
