Boca Bridges at a glance
Boca Bridges sits on Lyons Road in the northwest part of the Boca Raton area, close to the Delray Beach border, with the Florida Turnpike and US 441 nearby. Listing sites give its ZIP code as 33496. GL Homes built it, and the association lists 504 single-family homes managed by GRS Community Management.
It is one of several GL Homes communities on the same stretch of Lyons Road. Seven Bridges, also on Lyons Road, has a Delray Beach mailing address, so check the address on each listing if the city matters to you.
Is Boca Bridges a good area to live?
For buyers who want a recent single-family home behind a gate, with a large clubhouse run by the homeowners association, it ticks the main boxes. Listing sites report most homes were finished around 2020 to 2022, so systems are newer than in older club communities, and there is no separate equity club to join.
The costs are the quarterly HOA, which listing sites put at the equivalent of about $800 to over $1,200 a month, and a location at the northwest edge of Boca near Delray Beach, a long drive from the beach. The pros and cons below set out the trade-offs.
What Boca Bridges is known for: the clubhouse and racquet club
The association describes a 27,000 sq ft clubhouse and more than 7 acres set aside for recreation. The amenity list covers:
- A restaurant and bar
- Resort and lap pools, plus a spa
- A fitness center
- Tennis courts, pickleball courts and a basketball court
Listing sites describe the racquet club as six Har-Tru tennis courts, one hard court and four lighted pickleball courts. Ask the association for the current court count, any court or guest fees, and whether the restaurant carries a food minimum.
Homes and prices in Boca Bridges
Detached single-family homes
Every home is a detached single-family house. Listing sites put sizes at roughly 2,500 to more than 7,500 sq ft, in contemporary, modern, transitional and Mediterranean styles. They also report most homes were completed around 2020 to 2022, which means roofs, pool equipment and air conditioning are still fairly new in many cases.
Inspections and pricing
Even on newer homes, order a full inspection and a wind mitigation report, since the report can change your insurance quote. Our Florida home inspection checklist lists what to ask for. For recent sale prices, ask a local agent for closed Boca Bridges sales matched on size, lot and pool.
Living in Boca Bridges
Dining and recreation
The clubhouse restaurant and bar handle most dining inside the gates, and the recreation grounds cover more than 7 acres with pools, a fitness center and courts. Shopping and other restaurants mean a drive out along Lyons Road.
Schools
The School District of Palm Beach County assigns public schools by street address, not by community name, so check each Boca Bridges address in the district's Find My School tool rather than relying on a listing. The district kept its A grade from the state for 2025-26, and 84% of district-run schools were rated A or B. Our Boca Raton schools guide covers choice programs and how to confirm zoning.
Getting around
Boca Bridges is on Lyons Road with Florida's Turnpike and US 441 nearby, so most trips are by car. For longer trips, Tri-Rail's Boca Raton station at 680 Yamato Road has free parking for commuters, and Brightline's downtown station at 101 NW 4th St. runs to Miami and Orlando.
Costs: HOA dues, property tax and flood
HOA dues and approvals
Boca Bridges Homeowners Association bills its assessment quarterly, due on the first of each quarter, with a late penalty after 15 days. It charges a $100 application fee for purchases and leases. Listing sites quote monthly equivalents from about $800 to over $1,200, so get the actual figure from the association.
Before you commit, ask for:
- The current assessment and what it covers (security, lawn care, clubhouse, cable)
- Any capital contribution due at closing
- The latest budget, reserves and any planned special assessment
- Leasing rules and minimum lease terms
Florida law also requires a disclosure summary before you sign a contract in an HOA community, covering membership, recorded covenants and assessments. Then check the parcel's tax bill for non-ad valorem charges, and compare the total with other gated communities in Boca Raton.
Property tax
Check on the Property Appraiser record whether the parcel is inside Boca Raton city limits. The city's proposed 2026 operating rate is 3.6476 mills; unincorporated parcels skip that line but carry county Fire/Rescue (3.4581 mills) and Library (0.5491 mills) rates instead. The county (4.5000 mills proposed) and the School Board (3.0390 state plus 3.2480 local) appear on every bill. If the home will be your permanent residence on January 1, file for homestead with the Property Appraiser by March 1: the first $25,000 exemption applies to all taxes, and an additional exemption of up to $25,722 (the 2025 figure) applies to non-school taxes. A sale resets the assessed value, so budget from the new value, not the seller's bill. See the Palm Beach County property tax guide.
Flood zone and insurance
Palm Beach County's Office of Emergency Management has separate address lookups for your hurricane evacuation zone and flood zone, and the two are not the same thing. Florida law requires a seller of residential property to give you a flood disclosure at or before signing, saying whether they know of flood damage, have filed a flood claim or received FEMA assistance for the home. Standard homeowners policies exclude flood, so get a flood quote as well as a wind quote.
Pros and cons of Boca Bridges
Pro: newer construction
With most homes built around 2020 to 2022, roofs, pool equipment and air conditioning are often still fairly new, which can help with insurance quotes and near-term repair costs.
Pro: amenities without an equity club
The clubhouse, pools and courts are run through the HOA, so there is no initiation fee of the kind charged at Broken Sound.
Con: high HOA dues
Monthly equivalents quoted on listing sites run from about $800 to over $1,200. Add that to your mortgage, tax and insurance before you compare homes.
Con: resale market only
Homes now sell as resales, so you can't pick a plan or finishes from the builder.
Communities to compare with Boca Bridges
Buyers looking at Boca Bridges often compare it with Lotus and The Oaks, which is at Clint Moore and Lyons Road. If you want a builder warranty and a choice of finishes, see new construction homes in Boca Raton. The Boca Raton neighborhoods guide has the full list.
