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.
