Boca Pointe at a glance
The Boca Pointe Community Association (BPCA) describes Boca Pointe as a master-planned community of just over 1,000 acres, just outside the Boca Raton city limits. It sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, around Powerline Road and SW 18th Street, both of which the association maintains inside the community.
The association counts 3,432 homes in 28 residential villages, and 4,039 residential units in total once two retirement communities are included. It was set up in September 1980 and runs on an annual budget of just over $5 million, funded by owners' assessments.
Zillow's typical home value for its Boca Pointe neighborhood was $518,765 in August 2026, down 0.5% on the year. That is below the $576,824 typical value for Boca Raton as a whole, largely because condos and villas make up much of the housing.
Is Boca Pointe a good area to live?
It offers a wide choice of home types behind nine manned gates, with an 18-hole club you can join or ignore. That combination is less common in Boca Raton, where many large gated communities require every buyer to join. Zillow's typical value of $518,765 also sits below the city figure of $576,824.
The catches are two layers of association fees, older buildings in many villages, and county rather than city services. Read the pros and cons below, then compare total monthly costs for the specific village.
What Boca Pointe is known for: an optional club
The Club at Boca Pointe is a separate entity from the community association, and the association states that membership is not mandatory. That sets Boca Pointe apart from clubs such as Boca West and Broken Sound, where every buyer must join.
If you do want to join, ask the club for its current categories, fees and any waiting list. If you don't, confirm that nothing in your village's documents requires membership.
Homes and prices by type
Each of the 28 villages has its own association, budget and rules, on top of the master BPCA assessment. Zillow's typical home value for Boca Pointe was $518,765 in August 2026, but prices vary a lot by type.
High-rise and mid-rise condos
Condos make up much of the housing, which is why Zillow's typical value sits below the city figure. Florida's milestone inspection and reserve rules apply to buildings of three stories or more, so read our guide to buying a condo in Boca Raton before you make an offer.
Townhomes, garden villas and patio homes
For attached and semi-attached homes, ask which parts of the building the village association insures and maintains, such as roofs and exterior paint.
Single-family homes
One single-family village is covered on our Valencia page. Ask a local agent for closed sales in the same village, since lot type and age vary between villages.
Living in Boca Pointe
Shops, services and dining
The Boardwalk at 18th Street shopping area is on the property, and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Station 56 is inside the community. The Club at Boca Pointe adds dining for members.
Gates and security
The association lists nine manned gated entrances and roving patrols. Ask the association what the security budget covers and how guest access works.
Schools
The School District of Palm Beach County assigns public schools by street address, not by community name, so check each Boca Pointe 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 Pointe sits around Powerline Road and SW 18th Street, both maintained by the association inside the community, so trips out join the city road network on the south side of Boca. 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: association fees, property tax and flood
Master and village association fees
You pay the master BPCA assessment and your village association's fee. The master association runs on an annual budget of just over $5 million, funded by owners' assessments. Ask for both current amounts, the latest budgets and any special assessment. Florida law also requires a disclosure summary before you sign a contract in an HOA community, covering membership, recorded covenants and assessments.
Property tax
Boca Pointe is in unincorporated Palm Beach County, so there is no City of Boca Raton line on the tax bill. Unincorporated parcels instead carry county-wide service rates, such as Fire/Rescue at 3.4581 mills and Library at 0.5491 mills, both as proposed for 2026. 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.
What to check before you make an offer
- Two layers of fees: the master BPCA assessment and the village association fee.
- Village rules: leasing, pets, vehicles and approval timelines.
- Condo safety documents: for condo villages, the milestone inspection and structural reserve study.
- Tax bill: current county millage and any non-ad valorem charges.

The master assessment plus a village fee can add up, and village budgets differ.
