The neighborhood
Boca Del Mar is a large master-planned community in central Boca Raton, roughly 2,300 to 2,350 acres developed under a 1971 master plan with about 90 subdivisions. It sits just west of I-95 at the Palmetto Park Road exit, extending toward the Florida Turnpike, with Powerline Road and Military Trail as its other main corridors (ZIP 33433).
The community straddles Palmetto Park Road and mixes single-family homes from ranch style to grand fairway estates with condominiums, townhomes, villas, coach homes, apartments, and assisted living, which makes it one of the most diverse housing markets in Boca Raton.
Reported 2025-2026 pricing: listings span roughly $160,000 to $8.5 million; the median sale price was about $420,000 across all home types (Redfin, August 2026), with single-family medians near $900,000 and townhouse medians around $519,000 to $550,000.

Boca Del Mar's median conceals its range: condos trade from the low $100,000s, townhomes around a $520,000 to $550,000 median, single-family homes near a $900,000 median, and estate and fairway subdivisions reach the millions.
Subdivision-level analysis is essential here, because a 1960s ranch and a 2000s fairway estate are different markets entirely. We match buyers to subdivisions and pull comps from the same section.
