Insight Key For Delray Beach

Delray Beach is a larger area with many neighborhoods and listings. Your Key Choices are 1) specific neighborhoods (East Delray, Seagate, Palm Trail, Intown, Lake Ida, West Delray, etc.), 2) waterfront: oceanfront, Intracoastal, lake or non-waterfront and 3) home, or condo/townhome.  Lastly, you can choose a new home under construction or to find a lot or knock down property on which to build or renovate.

Delray Beach: #1 Choice In South Florida: Something quite special is happening in South Florida: Delray Beach! And it is driven by friends sharing it with their friends. And it has become the number one in-the-know choice for residents shifting all or most of their time to the sunshine state.

It has beautiful beaches, stately waterfront homes, and updated “cottages,” in neighborhoods that are cherished for their charm and beauty. And one other secret ingredient...

Delray has Atlantic Avenue! Over one mile of paradise and fun! It starts at A1A with sandy beaches, and stretches well across the Intracoastal, to award-winning restaurants, shops, galleries, arcades, gelato places, live entertainment and beyond. It has been top ranked and celebrated nationally for its dining and shopping. But it is more than that, it is the vibe: like a beautiful night, meeting friends by the water or sitting outside in a cafe, wandering along “The Ave” and ducking in and out of places, with live music cascading across the night.

And because of Atlantic Avenue, the Delray lifestyle and homes are in the highest demand and many look to find a gem that works for them. For example, East Delray is the leading choice because you can walk a few blocks to the beach and to Atlantic Ave. It has a neighborhood called Seagate...named for the famous Seagate Hotel, Spa, Beach & Club that is right there. See VisitDelrayBeach.com 

East Delray also has an equally lovely area north of the avenue that affords you a walk or golf cart ride to the beach and breath taking intracoastal estates. 

There is another cherished area called Palm Trail that is footsteps to Atlantic and nestled along the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway. Then there is Marine Way, Pineapple Grove, Lake Ida, and many in-town options coming every day. But understand there is a high demand for these homes from older updated ranches, cottages, and mansions to new tasteful cluster townhomes and finally $3m to $10m+ architectural masterpieces that rival Miami, The Hamptons, and Newport. 

Fortunately, there are also nearby options that are an Uber or car ride from Atlantic Avenue... so you can live in the quietly exclusive Gulfstream, stately Manalapan, the North part of Boca Raton, or the more value geared Ocean Ridge. And they all give you ways to enjoy the beaches, the water, and Atlantic Avenue fun! See the Delray Beach surf cam.

Waterfront Rating Overall:  #1 demand is for Intracoastal Waterway homes that are close to Atlantic Ave. These are high $$$ yet the limited oceanfront properties are at the highest level $$$$

Oceanfront: limited; some properties are on the beach (South & North ends) $$$$$. The better play is usually across the street or a few houses in from Ocean Blvd.

Intracoastal: Often considered better than direct oceanfront in Delray! This point lot shows the beauty of ICW while also close to Atlantic Ave. There are practically no new homes and only select updated ones available. $$$ to $$$$. Everyone is searching for knock-down ranches to then build. Few are left. Key For Boaters: No Wake zones and the distance to either Boca and Boynton Beach inlets. 

Other:  There are limited condo towers yet their views can be inspiring. 2-3 unit luxury townhomes are the new East Delray activity. Select ones are dazzling on the ICW in Seagate/East Delray. area. Marine Way has occasional townhome gems. Another option: Tropic Isle in both Delray and Highland Beach…for lower $$ waterfront & canal homes.

Rating Detail: Delray Beaches are among South Florida’s best! Long, wide open, unobstructed, and public parking. It is where Atlantic Avenue starts so food and fun are there in a tasteful Delray way. Some belong to the stately mansions on the South and North ends of the town’s beaches.
