Santa Barbara Boca Raton
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.

Moreover, there are around forty-four private, and public golf courses close at hand.

Map of Santa Barbara Homes in Boca Raton
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. (Note - the above metrics pertain to 2022 and, of course, can change over time, so always check prices.)

Going back to the CCs and yachting homes:
- Residences 2000 to 2500 sq. ft. in CCs 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, CCs 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.
