Why this area

What makes Highland Beach unique

Highland Beach was incorporated as a town in 1949 and took its name from the relative elevation of its oceanfront site. It's an almost entirely residential town: per the census, it has only two registered businesses — the Delray Sands Resort hotel and a real estate office — operating out of the same building on South Ocean Boulevard. It operates under a commission-manager government.

If you're investing

  • 114 active condos for sale, all resale — median price of $899,000 and median HOA of $2,155 a month.
  • 43.7% of the town's 4,338 housing units were vacant per the 2020 census — a sign of seasonal or second-home use, not abandonment.
  • A town of just 1.29 square miles, almost entirely residential, sandwiched between two of Palm Beach County's most consolidated coastal markets.

If you'll live here

  • A small, low-density town between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, on the A1A coastline.
