Seven Bridges at a glance: Boca Raton or Delray Beach?
Seven Bridges has a Delray Beach mailing address, ZIP 33446. It sits on Lyons Road in west Delray Beach, on the border with Boca Raton and west of the Florida Turnpike. Boca Bridges, also on Lyons Road, is marketed as Boca Raton. The two are separate GL Homes communities with their own associations.
The city name on the address affects more than the mail. Check the property appraiser record for the exact parcel to confirm its taxing district, and check your insurer's quote uses the right address.
Is Seven Bridges a good area to live?
It suits buyers who want a guard-gated single-family home from the late 2010s with a large clubhouse run by the association, rather than an equity club. Guides date construction to 2015 through 2018, so homes are newer than in most west Boca club communities.
Two things to weigh: the HOA, which Bex Realty puts at about $1,103 a month, and the Delray Beach address, which means Boca Raton city services and rates don't apply. The pros and cons below set out the trade-offs.
What Seven Bridges is known for: the clubhouse
Listing and community guides describe a 30,000 sq ft clubhouse with:
- The Prime 7 restaurant and a Starbucks
- A resort pool and fitness center
- An indoor sports arena
- A tennis center that guides put at 13 Har-Tru courts
Ask the association for its current amenity list, any food minimum and any court fees before you budget.
Homes and prices in Seven Bridges
Detached single-family homes
Every home is a detached single-family house. Listing sites put sizes at about 2,450 to more than 8,000 sq ft under air, spread across nine named neighborhoods: Chelsea, Greenwich, Kensington, Madison, Newbury, Oxford, Parkside, Preston and Woodlands. Guides date construction to 2015 through 2018.
Condition and inspections
Homes of that age are past their builder warranty period. Ask for the roof permit date, the age of the air conditioning and pool equipment, and a wind mitigation report. Our Florida home inspection checklist covers the rest.
Pricing a resale
Prices vary widely with size, so compare like with like. Ask a local agent for closed Seven Bridges sales from the last six months in the same neighborhood, matched on square footage, lot (lake view or not) and pool. For Boca Raton comparisons, the Boca Raton housing market page shows the city-wide trend.
Living in Seven Bridges
Dining and recreation
The Prime 7 restaurant, a Starbucks, the resort pool, fitness center, indoor sports arena and tennis center are all inside the clubhouse complex, so daily recreation stays inside the gates.
Schools
The School District of Palm Beach County assigns public schools by street address, not by community name, so check each Seven 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
Seven Bridges is on Lyons Road west of Florida's Turnpike, with a second gated entry off US 441 (State Road 7), 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, property tax and flood
HOA fees
Bex Realty's community summary puts the HOA fee at about $1,103 a month, and it covers the 24-hour staffed gatehouse and common-area landscaping. Treat that as a starting point and get the current number from the association.
Florida law also requires a disclosure summary before you sign a contract in an HOA community, covering membership, recorded covenants and assessments. Also ask for:
- Any capital contribution due at closing
- The latest budget, reserves and any planned special assessment
- Leasing rules and approval timelines
- Non-ad valorem charges on the parcel's tax bill
Property tax
A Delray Beach mailing address doesn't by itself mean the parcel is inside Delray Beach city limits, so check the Property Appraiser record. Inside the city, Delray Beach proposed an operating rate of 6.4371 mills for 2026, plus 0.0289 for debt service. Unincorporated parcels 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 Seven Bridges
Pro: newer homes
Construction from 2015 to 2018 means fewer ageing systems than older club communities, though builder warranties have run out.
Pro: amenities without an equity club
The clubhouse, restaurant and tennis center come through the association, with no club initiation fee.
Con: not a Boca Raton address
Despite the name people search for, the mailing address is Delray Beach, so Boca Raton city services and resident beach permits don't come with it. Confirm the taxing district before you compare tax bills.
Con: high HOA
About $1,103 a month is a large fixed cost to add to your mortgage and insurance.
Communities to compare
