Moving to East Boca Raton

Moving to East Boca: a practical guide

Housing and what it costs

This is the premium end of Boca: two-bedroom rentals near downtown typically run $2,800–$4,000/month, and single-family homes in the neighborhoods east of I-95 — Boca Villas and the surrounding “Golden Triangle” blocks — generally start near $1M. Condos span a wide range by building age. Figures are approximate as of mid-2026 — use the apartment search above for live listings.

Picking a block

The community clusters in the residential grid between downtown/Mizner Park and the beach. Walking distance to East Boca Kehila or Boca Beach Chabad defines the practical zone — check the map above, and confirm eruv status and carrying questions with the shul’s rav directly, since coverage in East Boca is not assumed the way it is in some larger communities.

Kosher and daily life

Day-to-day kosher depth lives in West Boca — supermarkets and the main restaurant scene are a 15–20 minute drive west. East Boca residents treat that as the weekly run and rely on downtown’s general amenities for everything else.

Schools

The Boca day-school ecosystem — Donna Klein Jewish Academy, Katz Yeshiva High School, Hillel Day School and the rest — sits west of I-95, roughly 15–20 minutes by car. Morning carpool routes from East Boca are established; ask at the shuls.

Who it fits

Young professionals and families who want an observant community without giving up urban walkability, plus snowbirds and second-home buyers who want shul within reach of the beach.
