This gated neighborhood, initiated in 1992, spearheaded a real estate development era in Boca's history that generated a stream of residential luxury themes distinguishing the city’s diversity even today. Santa Barbara, on ten landscaped acres, is on the northeast corner of Jog Road and Glades, directly opposite the much heralded Boca West Country Club. The homes are located around a sparkling lake or amid flourishing Florida foliage with spectacular water and garden views. The builders responsible for this unique enclave were none other than award-winning Ahmanson Developments and Marlex, who established an unmistakable Mediterranean and Addison Mizner architecture theme.

Buyers interested in homes for sale in Santa Barbara will quickly discover that it's a robust tennis-centric community, containing 241 SF houses ranging from under two thousand to three thousand square feet. In most cases, these residences have undergone considerable remodeling. Indeed, depending on the degree of renovation one finds, expect to negotiate acquisitions between $340 and $460 a square foot under air (UA). The HOA benefits that connect to that are:

• Round-the-clock guardhouse security.
• Pet-friendly protocols.
• A newly renovated clubhouse with a relaxation lounge (and fireplace), card room, and billiards table.
• A fully equipped aerobics and weight training fitness center.
• An impressive sundeck with shaded lounges around a sizable heated pool.
• Four tennis courts align with an active league, coaching, and social sports program.

A significant feature of Santa Barbara, Boca Raton, is its excellent city position - 1.6 miles from the expansive Town Center Mall (i.e., unmatched upscale shopping) and less than 4 miles to the beach. As a result, every big city convenience, from banking to healthcare facilities, gas, beauty salons, hundreds of eateries, watersports, and more, is at the Santa Barbara residents' doorstep. Moreover, there are around forty-four private, and public golf courses close at hand. Then, the I 95 and Florida Turnpike (a couple of miles directly down and up the road) can take residents to the Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach airports in thirty minutes or less. In short, Santa Barbara is front and center of Boca Raton's vibrant action.

6 Active Listings in Santa Barbara

We suggest that the most significant upgrades to look for are impact glass windows and doors, new roofing, and replaced air conditioning, failing which buyers should budget for installation after closing. It could go as high as $100,000 in total. In addition, if buying at the top price (i.e., $460 per square foot), the home should feature the latest stainless steel appliances with high-end brand names, imported granite, marble, stone, and wood materials on floors, cabinetry, and other surfaces. Finally, the HOA monthly fee of $580 for the numerous benefits and maintenance of the common facilities reflects significant reserves. The latter is in line with most pre-2000 gated neighborhoods in central Boca.

So, are there other viable options for buyers interested in Santa Barbara homes for sale along the same lines? Boca Raton provides multiple lifestyle channels worth exploring, from yachts docked in your backyard on canals near the Intracoastal to country clubs, with golfing a short walk from your house. Still, the closest comparative neighborhoods to Santa Barbara in Boca Raton are Mizner's Preserve, Grande Orchid, Newport Bay Club, and Seasons - all situated on a four-mile stretch on Jog Road.

You can also look at the newer gated resort-style communities going at over $500 per square foot (UA), with home sizes starting at three thousand square feet and ranging to double those dimensions. Note - HOA fees are also double Santa Barbara’s in most cases (i.e., approximately $1000 monthly.) If interested, we recommend looking at Azura, Royal Palm Polo, Boca Bridges, Seven Bridges and Lotus.

Going back to country clubs and yachting homes:

• Residences 2000 to 2500 sq. ft. in Boca West, Addison Reserve, Polo Club, Broken Sound, and Woodfield Country Club are in the same valuation arena as Santa Barbara. However, the HOA fees are around $5000 monthly with a $100,000 (plus) one-time, non-refundable equity charge on entry. Remember, country clubs offer every amenity one can imagine, including valet services and in-community dining.
• Conversely, zero or nominal HOA fees apply in ungated (but safe) boating communities such as Golden Harbour, Boca Harbour, or Boca Bay Colony. Notably, minimum prices for older homes start substantially above $1,000,000, and $3,500,000 for new construction is not unusual.

So, whether it's Santa Barbara or any other of the communities that pique your interest, the ZFC real estate team has the know-how and resources to provide a rewarding homebuyer experience. We can even take you condominium shopping in Downtown Boca and on the beachfront (overviewing value-for-money towers like Palmetto Place or the Sea Ranch Club.) The latter lifestyles offer appeal to local residents and international luxury home seekers alike. Contact us today to see the difference.
