Highland Beach Real Estate
These deep insights into a fantastic collection of properties are brought to you by ZFC, your complete online resource for all things related to Highland Beach Real Estate. Traditionally the vision of a city is a teeming metropolis, with hundreds of thousands of residents, if not millions, skyscrapers, busy roads, and urban sprawl. However, in 1949 a new city emerged in South Florida with unique characteristics that met none of the benchmarks mentioned.
On the contrary, Highland Beach’s total area was 1.1 square miles, of which 54% was under water. Moreover, the limited land for development was largely virgin territory, had no inland roads leading into it, and contained zero traffic lights. Indeed, it consisted of a relatively small section of one main road - the A1A coastal byway that runs between the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. It is the only north and south exits from Boca Raton and Delray Beach along the coast. In other words, driving along the A1A (also called Ocean Blvd), one couldn’t get from Boca to Delray (or vice versa) without traversing this thin barrier island called Highland Beach.
Nonetheless, everyone agreed that Highland Beach real estate that is east (i.e., directly on the beach) and west (i.e., directly on the Intracoastal) of A1A was tremendously valuable, with arguably the best outlooks anywhere in the state. As a result, they predicted that Highland Beach Real Estate would be on fire as soon as developers got going. That prediction came true, only with ten times the intensity anyone imagined as towers, townhouses, and estate homes sprung up in mostly gated communities with innovative lifestyle packages. You name the luxury category, and it was in play in Highland Beach. Condo and home buyers poured in, sending the city’s population trajectory into the stratosphere.

Homes For Sale In Highland Beach, Florida
Life in Highland Beach, FL
Super-luxury projects were in full swing from the 1970s, gaining massive momentum in the next 30 years, with iconic, more modern complexes making their mark on the remaining land after 2000. The architecture was mainly along the Addison Mizner lines relying on Mediterranean and Spanish-revival inspiration. The following represents the superior caliber of Highland Beach in numerous verticals, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg:
Highland Beach Homes
Ocean Place Estates - Single Family private beach houses in a billionaires’ neighborhood with watertight privacy and seclusion selling at over $13 million. Not far behind is Ocean Place Villas representing the same theme with palatial townhouse models going for between $5 million and $8 million.
Bel Lido Isle, in contrast, has zero HOA oversight (and $0 fees) with 71 homes directly on the Intracoastal or on adjoining canals with 125’ boat docks in their backyards. Custom builders have reshaped the community with ultra-modern houses starting at $2.5 million and ranging to $14 million (depending on location and homeowners’ visions).
Highland Beach Condos
For condo lovers of communities constructed after the turn of the century, Toscana is an impressive full-service option that auto travelers through Highland Beach can’t miss. Three towers, 426 units, varying views directly out to sea or the Intracoastal, and a private beach club was accessible from $550 per square foot to more than double that. Models range from 2,200 to 3,200 square feet.
Alternatively, Coronado is an older vintage (circa the 1980s) Toscana-like community with a full-service/amenity package offering only 1500 square foot condos at under $1 million.
A theme with substantial traction converges on boutique condos. Leading the charge are beach-side Villa Nova (i.e., 15 stories with only twenty-four luxury condos), 1500 to 3000 square foot models (two per floor) selling at from $1.5 million to $2 million.
Also, Villa Magna (private beach, amenities, and luxury concierge services) selling at between $800 and $1200 per square foot for budgets that can afford more than $2 million.
Affordable communities on the west side of the A1A with Intracoastal and beach connections include Casuarina and the Highland Beach Club. These provide some stunning vistas from units under $1 million, inviting new homeowners to upgrade and remodel creatively to add to home values.
Many Highland Beach neighborhoods are between thirty and forty years old, the groundbreakers that led the “gold rush” to lay a stake in the limited availability of Highland Beach real estate starting in 1970. However, buyers will discover that since then HOAs have undertaken significant renovations.
