Email Me Alerts for Tropic Isle

In recent years, South Florida became a target destination for thousands living in New York, Philly, Chicago, California, and other parts of the US. The low taxes, mostly good weather, and open spaces in a coastal environment resonated more robustly than the high-density city challenges. Moreover, the reality that remote working was a mainstream occupation option boosted immigration to South Palm Beach with Boca Raton homes, and Delray Beach homes - as primary destinations. As a result, real estate prices jet-propelled upward in every lifestyle vertical Florida has to offer. Prominent among the latter are boating communities on the Intracoastal and the canals that adjoin it. Tropic Isle has thus attracted substantial home seeker interest as a top-rated option in the popular category.

Buyers interested in homes for sale in Tropic Isle are mostly those families owning a yacht, or intent on acquiring one, to participate in deep-sea fishing, scuba diving off tropical reefs, or traversing the multiple coastal spots for relaxation and leisure. The vision of a luxury home with a spacious backyard, private pool, and a deep-water boat dock accommodating a 100' (or bigger) vessel has motivated thousands to pursue their dream home in Tropic Isle, Delray Beach (or similar). It’s an ungated (but safe with zero HOA fees) community comprising 425 SF houses (over 80% on canals) - sitting in an area south of Linton and on the west side of the Intracoastal. Indeed, the east banks of the latter are a stone's throw from Delray’s white sand beaches. Homeowners in the community can navigate their boats to ocean inlets in minutes without worrying about fixed bridges. In addition, exotic Florida foliage combines with the water to create spectacular vistas from terraces and rooms in one's selected residence. Finally, there's nothing quite like living on the Intracoastal waterways with that salt water smell in the air.

19 Active Listings in Tropic Isle

Here's the challenge for home seekers venturing into the arena of Tropic Isle single family homes - Developers first moved into the neighborhood in 1983 (i.e., thirty-nine years ago). As a result, the houses cover a spectrum reflecting original constructions with little to zero upgrades on the one extreme to ground-up, brand-new contemporary structures on the other. In between, we have pinpointed moderately remodeled and significantly renovated residences. Prospects should appreciate:

• Purchasing a dilapidated ranch (usually 2300 square feet) for teardown purposes is likely to start at $2 million (i.e., Approximately $1000 per square foot of living space under-air) on the canals.
• After construction, a new home will emerge at around 4600 square feet (UA), valued at more or less $800 per square foot ($3.7 million).

Also, they should expect:

• At least double the canal metrics for direct Intracoastal (i.e., A modern 4600 square feet residence for nearly $7.4 million).
• For upgraded homes, options to start at around $2.5 million (on the canals) and $5.5 million (on the direct Intracoastal). The latter will include some or all of the following:
  • Integrated high-impact windows and sliders.
  • Replaced roofs and air-con systems.
  • Modern gourmet kitchens with fitted stainless steel top-brand appliances.
  • The latest marble, graphite, and imported wood materials in kitchen, living, bedroom, and bathroom spaces.
