Perhaps no city in North America has the swagger, the style and the collection of millionaires like Boca Raton. Located just north of Miami on some of the most valuable beach front property anywhere in the world, the city of Boca Raton is a jewel of Florida’s Atlantic coast. The city was founded in early 1900’s, but it wasn’t until the revival that saw nearby Miami Beach transformed from a dilapidated retirement community to one of the hottest nightlife and entertainment districts in the world that property value and liveability in Boca Raton skyrocketed. Today, Boca Raton is simply the most prestigious and most glamerous address to have in the Southeastern United States, but that doesn’t mean that the dream of a Boca Raton apartment is out of the reach of everyone. You might just need to save your pennies up to live out the dream of an ocean side Boca Raton Apartment.
The number of attractions and things to do in Boca Raton are numerous, but the number one attraction is the beach. Just like Miami to the south and Daytona to the north, Boca Raton has miles and miles of the most beautiful and well kept beachfront property in the world. The beach is like its own ecosystem, attracting a lazy, carefree crowd that crosses every demographic in the day time and during the evening, the formal clothes come on, the swanky cafes and clubs open and Boca Raton is transformed into a beach side paradise. It is easy to see why so many people flock to Florida’s southeastern coast, and most of those folks come looking for a Boca Raton apartment that is both affordable and nice.
Boca Raton’s most interesting feature, other than the beach, of course, is the seamless way the uber-wealthy and the not so wealthy blend in together here. Yes, at one time in the not too distant past, Boca Raton had more millionaires per capita than any city in the USA, but that doesn’t mean that affordable Boca Raton apartments and homes don’t exist. The cost of living here is higher than in most spots in middle America and is very high when compared to cities like Orlando and Tampa where cost of living is low. But with a good job and good financial discipline, the dream of renting that perfect Boca Raton apartment can come true.
An average price for a studio apartment in Boca Raton is around $850-$900, and that would be without an ocean view. If you want to increase your space up to a one bedroom, expect to pay $1000-$1100. If you need two bedrooms, your rent expectations should be increase to $1200-$1400 or more with a view. If you are after that palatial apartment with a whirlpool and an ocean view, and there are plenty of units here that fit that description, you’ll expect to pay $2000 or more. It is a pricy place to call home but it is a price many folks are more than willing to pay. |
