Chalfonte Boca Raton
Chalfonte in East Boca Raton, is unquestionably one of the best-located beachfront condo communities in the city. Condo owners in its high-rise, twenty-two-story twin towers take in spectacular water views from windows and wide terraces of the Atlantic Ocean (on its east face) and Lake Boca (to the west immediately behind it). And it's within walking distance to the iconic billion-dollar The Boca Resort Club (see more on this below).
So, Chalfonte (French) translates to “cool fountain,” which is quite apt considering its water-centric theme. However, we should point out that it’s a luxury vintage 1974 building. That gives forty-eight years of fashion advantage to the contemporary condo communities in Downtown Boca strategically emerging close to the beaches and Intracoastal. In addition, the designs and ultra-modern architecture of communities like Alina, Royal Palm Residences, and Mandarin Oriental are notable departures from anything previously seen in the area. Still, buyers interested in Condos For sale in Chalfonte entering with the correct perspective can find compelling acquisition opportunities.
Prices are nudging $1000 a square foot, but variances on the downside are evident depending on the remodeling upgrades the sellers offer. Similar to competitor complexes like Addison On The Ocean and Aragon, the latter massively plays into the negotiation. Top dollar condos for sale should feature the latest in wood, metal, stone, porcelain, marble, and granite materials on flooring and all relevant surfaces with the latest brand appliances provided by Wolf, Sub-zero, and Thermidor. Gourmet kitchens are a given, alongside upgraded bathrooms showing floating vanities, seamless glass showers, and expensive faucet fittings. Anything less than this could drag values to $850 per square foot or under, presenting viable options for renovation after purchase. Indeed, we advise projecting estimates on the latter when deciding on a bid price to sustain your asset value. (Note - the stated metrics exist in September 2022. Prices change, so check our “sold” records from time to time).

HOA fees are around eighty-seven cents per square foot of condo ownership (UA). Super-luxury options like Luxor and some of the downtown communities (mentioned above) charge double that for similar amenities, so we see it as pretty reasonable. Thus, condo buyers in this community will enjoy the single most significant benefit - oceanside swimming pools with hot tubs, pool decks, lounges, and shaded areas that lead to private beaches with similar relaxation accommodations. Moreover, homeowners connect to 24-hour front-desk attendants and security staff. Internally, each building has a clubhouse with a library, business center, social rooms, and a catering kitchen. Aside from all this, the other benefits are:
- Assigned covered resident and valet parking.
- Provided Cable TV and WIFI in every apartment and common areas.
- High-impact glass doors and windows.
- Two modern, technology-centric fitness centers
- Allocated outside grilling and eating areas.
- Private marina/boat docks.
- Hard and clay tennis courts.
Stepping away from the condo building or turning their bikes on to the AIA takes residents minutes to the Boca Resort. Membership of this Michael Dell-owned hospitality juggernaut adds golf and other incredible five-star leisure options nearby. Travel a mile up Camino Real, and you are amid a hundred eateries and bars side by side with top-class shopping in the Mizner Park and Royal Plaza centers. On the streets in every direction are beauty salons, banks, healthcare facilities, gas, supermarkets - indeed, every mainstream metropolis-type retail and service convenience. Good schools connect to the Chalfonte address (see below) and many private education institutions for kids and teenagers nearby. Take an Uber half an hour north or south to the West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale airports and access over forty golf courses (private and public) within a five-mile radius.
Are there luxury condominiums and other options for Chalfonte interested parties? The ZFC team has insight into the diverse lifestyle channels integrated into Boca communities. As enticing as Chalfonte condominiums may be, scan the entire landscape to appreciate the pluses and minuses each has in store before signing the dotted line on a purchase agreement:
- Other condo towers along the direct beachfront, many with the same dual ocean and Lake Boca vistas, are worth a good look, notwithstanding the unit minimum sizes are substantially larger (meaning more significant dollar outlays) and maintenance costs are quite a bit higher. Look at Presidential Place, Excelsior, One Thousand Ocean, and Luxuria.
- As mentioned above, downtown developments are hugely attractive to many condo seekers with the benefit of contemporary finishes. We suggest Alina, Mandarin Oriental, and 5 Palms are the best of the new editions.
- The yachting lifestyle is in vogue, and Boca Raton real estate with own-dock privileges on canals or Intracoastal are flying off the shelf. Go from your backyard to the ocean in minutes with no fixed bridges and little or no HOA fees. Budget around $2.5 million (starting) and focus on neighborhoods such as Golden Harbour, Sun And Surf, or Royal Palm Yacht Club, which are ungated but safe.
- Then there's the "one-and-only" Horseshoe Acres for those who want to farm in the middle of a busy city. Acquire a six-acre subdivision and erect your ranch from scratch to raise horses and grow fruit trees with no HOA charges. You need a budget of $6 million for the land alone.
- Estate home elegance, privacy, and no bells and whistles behind round-the-clock security in a natural environment of lakes and exotic foliage is an appealing vision. Make it come true by buying a home starting at $2 million in Le Rivage, Long Lake Estates, Le Lac, or Fieldbrook Estates. (with low $1,100 HOA fees).
- Country club (CC) lifestyles that equal the Boca Resort in every facet with your home on the campus deliver excellent value. Homes start at under $1 million (going much higher for mansions). We can show you residences in CCs Woodfield Country Club, Addison Reserve, and Broken Sound in central Boca. Unfortunately, HOA fees are around four times Chalfonte, and membership involves roughly $100,000 in a non-refundable equity payment on entry.
- Finally, Toll Brothers' developments - Azura, The Preserve, and Royal Palm Polo, and GL Homes' projects - Boca Bridges, Seven Bridges, and Lotus offer many CC benefits without the high maintenance costs (i.e., around $1000 monthly). High-level security and modern resort facilities are lifestyle changers. Home prices begin at $1.5 million, going as high as $4 million.
So, we hope this information gives you a glimpse into the insights our resource pool offers to find your dream home or condo with all the metrics in your favor. So, contact us today to get started, or if your mind is on Chalfonte, we will help you close the best deal available.
