About Hillsboro Beach
The Town of Hillsboro Beach was unofficially organized in 1939. It gained official status in 1947 through a special act of the Florida legislature. The town sits on a narrow strip of land in northeastern Broward County. It borders Deerfield Beach to the north and the Hillsboro Inlet to the south. Pompano Beach sits just across the inlet, and Lighthouse Point lies on the Intracoastal mainland.
Total area runs only 1.5 square miles, and roughly 75% of that surface is water. The name traces back to the Earl of Hillsborough, who held English land grants in colonial Florida. Today the town is famous nationally as "Millionaire's Mile," the strip of A1A lined with high-end estates and luxury condos. In addition, Hillsboro Beach falls within Broward County and one of only two tropical climate zones in the continental U.S.
Hillsboro Beach Real Estate
The local market splits into two tiers: condominium buildings and ultra-high-end estates with water on both sides. Average home value sat near $504,000 (Zillow, 2025), and the median list price ran around $610,000 to $625,000 in mid-2025. Smaller one-bedroom condo units start in the mid-$300s. Two- and three-bedroom Atlantic-facing units usually range from the high $400,000s to $2 million. Hillsboro Beach Condos for Sale also include direct beach access in most buildings.
Top-tier estates play in a different bracket entirely. Recent sales have ranged from roughly $5 million to over $30 million. In addition, the town once hosted Le Palais Royal, a 60,000-square-foot mansion listed at $159 million. As a result, Hillsboro Beach Homes for Sale draw second-home buyers from the Northeast, Canada, and Europe. Many Waterfront Homes in Hillsboro Beach also include private docks on the Intracoastal across A1A. A Hillsboro Beach Real Estate Agent can match buyers to the right condo line or estate. At the same time, Luxury Homes in Hillsboro Beach often sell off-market.
Things to Do in Hillsboro Beach
