A small, exclusive oceanfront town between Boca Raton and Delray Beach

Living in Highland Beach

Highland Beach was incorporated as a town in 1949 and took its name from the relative elevation of its oceanfront site compared to neighboring shorelines. It operates under a commission-manager government.

A gem of a place

Per the 2020 census, the town has 4,295 residents, with a median age of 69.8 and 61.6% of the population 65 or older — 90.17% of residents identify as non-Hispanic white. In the 2000 census, Highland Beach recorded one of the highest shares in the country of residents born in Austria (4.0% of the population) and in Turkey.

It's an almost entirely residential town: per the census, it has only two registered businesses in its entire territory — the Delray Sands Resort hotel, formerly operated as a Holiday Inn, and John P. O'Grady Realty — both operating out of the same building on South Ocean Boulevard.

Highland Beach covers 1.29 square miles in total (0.54 land and 0.75 water), about 50 miles north of Miami and 28 miles south of Palm Beach. Since 1994 the town had contracted fire and emergency medical services from Delray Beach; in 2021 commissioners voted to end that contract and start their own department.

Something for everyone

Highland Beach has 114 active condos for sale across the MLS today, none of them new construction — it's an entirely resale market. The median price is $899,000, with a median HOA of $2,155 a month and a median year built of 1979.

That profile places Highland Beach among the most expensive oceanfront condo markets on this list, ahead of Boca Raton and Delray Beach in median HOA, sustained by the town's limited land and by a buyer base that's mostly second-home: the 2020 census reported 43.7% vacancy across the town's 4,338 housing units.
