Moving to Boca Raton: questions and answers

Is Boca Raton a good place to move to?

It suits buyers who want coastal Palm Beach County with a full-service city behind it: beaches and parks, a large medical and corporate employment base, and housing that runs from downtown condominiums to gated country-club communities. The trade-offs are insurance cost and, in club communities, a mandatory membership obligation on top of the house.

How much does it cost to buy a home in Boca Raton?

Price depends far more on the specific community than on the city, because Boca Raton contains everything from mid-rise condominiums to waterfront estates. The figures on our Boca Raton market report page come from BeachesMLS closed sales and are refreshed regularly, which is a better guide than any national estimate.

What should I know before moving to Boca Raton from out of state?

Three things catch newcomers out: property tax is reassessed on your purchase, not inherited from the seller, so budget from the new assessed value; homeowners insurance and, near the coast, flood coverage are a material monthly cost; and in Palm Beach County the seller customarily pays for owner's title insurance, unlike Broward.
