The Oaks at a glance
The Oaks sits at the northwest corner of Clint Moore Road and Lyons Road in west Boca Raton, east of US 441. Community guides describe about 450 to 469 homes on 282 acres, including nine lagoons. Albanese Popkin Development Group and Kenco Communities developed it, starting in 2002.
Homes were custom-built, so layouts and finishes vary more than in a production-builder community. Guides describe the prevailing style as Mediterranean.
Is The Oaks a good area to live?
It suits buyers who want a custom estate home with a full clubhouse but no country club initiation fee. The amenities are funded through the HOA, which listing sites put at about $1,066 a month, or roughly $12,792 a year. A 2026 local guide gives a 2025-2026 price range of $1.7 million to $4.5 million, with most activity between $2.8 million and $3.6 million.
The trade-offs are no golf course and homes dating from the early 2000s onward, so condition varies. The pros and cons below set them out.
What The Oaks is known for: a clubhouse without an initiation fee
The clubhouse is at 9950 Bridgebrook Drive. The community's own site lists dining, aquatics, racquets (tennis and pickleball), a fitness center and wellness programming. Community guides add:
- A renovated clubhouse with The Oak Room restaurant
- A 12-court tennis center: 10 Har-Tru, 1 red clay and 1 hard court
- A resort pool, spa and card rooms
- Two gated entry points with 24-hour security and roving patrols
There is no golf course. If golf matters, compare a club community with an 18-hole course, such as Boca Pointe.
Homes and prices in The Oaks
Custom estate homes
All homes are detached single-family estates. Community guides put sizes at about 4,400 to more than 7,500 sq ft under air, and some current listings run larger.
Condition and pricing
Construction here dates back to the early 2000s, so condition varies from house to house. Ask for the roof permit date, the age of each air conditioning unit, and a wind mitigation report. Our Florida home inspection checklist covers the rest. For pricing, ask a local agent for closed sales in The Oaks from the last six months, matched on size, lot and year of renovation.

Dining and recreation
The Oak Room restaurant, the resort pool, spa, card rooms and the 12-court tennis center are inside the gates, along with pickleball and fitness programs.
Schools
The School District of Palm Beach County assigns public schools by street address, not by community name, so check each The Oaks 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
The community sits at Clint Moore Road and Lyons Road, east of US 441, with two gated entry points. Most trips are by car, with US 441 and Florida's Turnpike the main north-south routes on this 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: HOA, property tax and flood
HOA and club funding
Unlike many Boca Raton country club communities, The Oaks funds its club through the HOA. Listing sites describe no separate membership initiation fee or annual club dues, and put the HOA at about $1,066 a month. That single fee covers security, common-area upkeep and access to the amenities.
Before you compare it with a community that charges an equity membership, ask the association for:
Florida law also requires a disclosure summary before you sign a contract in an HOA community, covering membership, recorded covenants and assessments.
- The current monthly or quarterly assessment
- Any capital contribution or transfer fee at closing
- Food minimums or court fees, if any
- The latest budget, reserves and any planned special assessment
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.
