About Boca Reef
Boca Reef was built in 1971, near the line where Boca Raton meets Deerfield Beach. The seven-story building holds just under 50 residences, which keeps it quiet and personal. Floor plans reach up to three bedrooms, from around 920 square feet to more than 3,000 in the largest homes. Nine-foot ceilings, split bedrooms, and open balconies are standard, and many units offer views of the water and pool. The association recently rebuilt and repainted the structure, plus updated the lobby, pool, and sundeck. A private beach sits right across the road, gated for residents. The result is an older building with fresh systems and a rare beach setup.
HOA Information & Lifestyle Amenities
Boca Reef runs as a condominium, and the monthly maintenance fee is its quiet headline. Fees range from about $560 to $585 a month, low for a building this close to the water. The fee covers cable, water, sewer, trash, pest control, building insurance, the elevator, roof, pool service, and the recreation areas. The application fee is $100, with no association deposit. Buyers should know the rules run strict: no pets, no leasing, and a required board interview before purchase. Motorcycles, trucks, and RVs are not permitted either. The trade-off buys a calm, owner-occupied building steps from the sand.
Residents enjoy amenities that include:
- Private gated beach area with a tiki hut, grill, and shuffleboard, for residents only
- Direct beach access and a fishing pier across A1A
- Heated community pool with a refreshed sundeck
- Exercise room plus a billiard and game room
- Community room with a full kitchen
- Library and lobby with on-site management
- One assigned covered carport space per home
- Common laundry, storage units, and a trash chute
- Elevator and recently restored concrete structure
Boca Reef Condos for Sale
Boca Reef holds 49 residences, so the for-sale list stays short. Most homes are two-bedroom, two-bath layouts near 1,209 square feet, though plans run from compact one-bedrooms to three-bedroom homes past 3,000 square feet. Recent MLS activity in 2026 shows two-bedroom condos priced from the mid $300,000s to around $560,000. Price depends on floor plan, level, view, and condition, since some kitchens have granite countertops and stainless appliances, while others are awaiting an update. Several units have added new impact windows and doors.
Buyers must obtain board approval and undergo an interview as part of the purchase, so plan for those steps. Each home includes a single covered carport. A trusted Boca Raton luxury realtor® can flag a Boca Reef listing the day it reaches the market and arrange a private showing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boca Reef
Is Boca Reef pet friendly?
No. Boca Reef does not allow pets for residents or renters. The policy keeps the lobby, elevator, and pool areas calm in a small building. Service animals follow separate federal rules. If a pet is part of your household, confirm the association's current stance before you make an offer. Boards can revisit policies over time.
Can you rent out a unit at Boca Reef?
No. Boca Reef prohibits leasing, so it works as a primary or second home rather than an income property. Every purchase also clears a board interview first. The setup keeps the building quiet and stable. Investors who need rental income should look elsewhere, while owners who want stable neighbors tend to like the rule.
Does Boca Reef have private beach access?
Yes. Boca Reef owns a gated stretch of sand across A1A, set aside for residents and their guests. It includes a beach gazebo, barbecue grills, and a shuffleboard court, right on the sand. The building adds a heated pool and an on-site fishing pier. For a mid-rise at this price point, that beach setup is hard to match nearby.
What recent upgrades has the Boca Reef building had?
Quite a few. Boca Reef recently restored the building's concrete and repainted the exterior. The community pool, sundeck, and lobby got a refresh in the same project. Florida also requires milestone inspections and reserve studies for older coastal condos. Ask your agent for the latest engineering report, reserve study, and budget before you write an offer.
How does Boca Reef compare to other Boca Raton beachfront condos?
It trades size and services for value and calm. Newer buildings like Boca Beach Residences offer modern construction and full amenities. Towers such as Boca Towers sit on the central beach with higher fees. Boca Reef condos for sale appeal to those after deeded beach access, low monthly dues, and a small, quiet building.
