Opal Towers

The Hillsboro Mile road splits a narrow peninsula (900' at its widest) between the azure blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean (to the east) and the iconic Intracoastal banks (on the western border). Indeed, it has been a developer's haven pre-2000 - starting in the 1960s. Why? Because construction companies wasted no time negotiating for real estate footprints embracing both sections (irrespective of crossing a road from one to the other). Thus, they provided the two primary features homebuyers asked for in an aqua-centric lifestyle, a residence campus providing direct access to:
- A private white sand beach.
- Intracoastal boat dockage & platform for kayaking, jet skiing, and paddle-boarding.
Both of the above without leaving the community are silver platter benefits - a rare commodity for homes selling under $600,000 - especially in the 21st century.
A primary project along the lines described above emerged in 1971 when buyers for condos in Opal Towers got wind of an exceptional residential opportunity offering the following:
- Three ten-story buildings (two on the ocean side, one on the Intracoastal) - a multi-unit development merged into one cohesive enclave.
- Opal East towers provided 107 condos and Opal West 135 - taking advantage of the high rises to deliver spectacular unobstructed vistas of the sea or the Intracoastal from the third floor up, sitting on sizable sky home balconies (many of them wrap-around).
- Lower-level residences benefited from flourishing tropical gardens (pristinely maintained), tall palms, and brilliant sunsets intermingled with partial water outlooks.
- The units were small, ranging tightly between 1,200 and 1,330 square feet under air, offering one and two bedrooms with one to two-and-a-half bathroom configurations.
Things have come a long way since then, with condo owners upgrading floors, kitchens, living spaces, and bathrooms to align with the recent installation of high-impact windows and doors (by the HOA). So, prospective buyers scanning the MLS invariably connect with an "early vintage gem" containing the latest in granite, marble, onyx, engineered wood building materials, floating vanities, and premium appliances. Thus, bargains are in the wings looking at some MLS prices. Then, for those who want a clean slate to custom-renovate their way, we suggest waiting for the few listings with only slight improvement on the original developer handover (see more below).
Residents have fantastic cost coverage and excellent amenities at monthly HOA fees of 93 cents per square foot condo ownership (UA). Consider the following:
- Closed circuit camera security with a full-time security guard.
- Allocated resident garage parking + vehicle wash area.
- Building repair & insurance.
- Expansive lawn maintenance and pest control on both sides of Hillsboro Mile.
- A heated ocean-side pool & sundeck (with loungers) leading to:
- A private beach steps from the lobby.
- An inviting barbecue & picnic area
- A well-equipped fitness center and saunas
- A clubhouse containing a billiard room, a computerized business center, a library, a community kitchen, and a hobby room.
- A spacious bike storage facility.

17 Active Listings in Opal Towers
While "modern" versus "early vintage" is a crucial price driver, we believe the “Three Big Ls” (“Location, Location, Location”) are under-appreciated in the Opal Tower valuations. Remember, 17 condos in Opal Towers in Hillsboro are on a real estate footprint the mega-luxury constructors (eg. Alina or Mandarin Oriental in Boca Raton) would fight tooth and nail to buy if it were available. Did you know their modern towers sell at $3000+ per square foot (UA)? With that as a backdrop, consider the following:
Opal Towers showed robust turnover over the eighteen months of our MLS analysis, reflecting 19 closed deals. Unsurprisingly, prices ranged between $300,000 and $690,000 - $250 to $518 per square foot (UA). The latter represents a valuation gap of $268 or hundreds of thousands of dollars differential on an average-sized unit.
So contact us today to zone in on your targeted residence without leaving money on the table. We know how to price seller upgrades and assess outlook quality, thus settling on a deal-closing price that'll keep you smiling for years. The best thing is that your seller pays us if you decide to buy; if not, there's no charge to anyone. That's Florida’s realtor law.
When residents step out of any Opal Tower address (i.e., each of the three buildings has its own) on Hillsboro Mile, they're within strolling distance of several restaurants near the northern pier. But, of course, that's a fraction of the big-city convenience story they enjoy. Indeed, the Mile is a bike ride away from the town's thriving commercial center with its retail conveniences, parks, nature preserves, golf courses, tennis, and pickleball venues - all stellar New Urban Living (NUL) benefits.
In addition, Boca Raton Downtown - a hop, skip, and a jump away - completes the NUL circle, delivering:
- Over a hundred more eateries, bars, cafes, and delis.
- High-end shopping options (e.g., Mizner Park and Royal Palm centers).
- Top-rated clinics & excellent schools (see below).
- Respected healthcare professionals
- Supermarkets (Publix, Greenway, and Whole Foods).
- Pharmacies (CVS and Walgreens).
- Banks (regional and national).
- Top-brand chain stores.
Finally, The I95 freeway, a couple of miles west, is Hillsboro tenants' preferred route to two international airports in under thirty minutes.
Retirees, snowbirds, and small families who love the Hillsboro Mile ocean to Intracoastal theme also looked at Ocean Vista, Hillsboro Beach Yacht Villas, and Palm Hill. In addition, we found they had an extensive interest in tower developments further north with similar amenity packages - even knowing the latter were priced significantly higher, sometimes close to $900 a square foot (UA). Still, it creates an excellent perspective when making Opal Towers comparisons. The Boca to Delray options that caught the most attention were Placide, Sea Ranch Club, Toscana, Parker Highland, Townhouses of Highland, Villa Nova, Villa Magna, Bermuda High, and Delray Harbor Club.
So, suppose Opal Towers and others in its category are not your cup of tea. In that case, you’re still at the right agency at the right time.
