About Parker Highland
Parker Highland is a boutique oceanfront condominium of 26 residences at 4605 South Ocean Boulevard in Highland Beach, FL 33487, completed in 1980. The building rises eight stories directly on the sand, with the Intracoastal Waterway sitting immediately across the road.
Highland Beach itself shapes the experience as much as the building does. The town is a narrow barrier island strip between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, almost entirely residential, with no commercial corridor running through it. That absence of through-traffic is why residents describe the address as quiet in a way neither neighboring city manages.
What Ownership Costs Beyond the Purchase
Association fees here run close to 91 cents per square foot each month, which puts a typical 2,600 square foot residence somewhere near $2,400. Owners arriving from a single-family house often misjudge where the dividing line falls between the building and themselves. The table below sets that division out plainly.
| Cost | Covered by the Association | Covered by You |
|---|---|---|
| Building insurance | Association master policy | Your own HO-6 interior coverage |
| Structural repair | Association responsibility | Anything inside your own walls |
| Grounds and pool | Included in the monthly fee | Nothing additional |
| Covered parking | One allocated space per residence | A second space, subject to availability |
| Electricity and water | Not included | Billed directly to you |
| Balcony maintenance | Structural elements sit with the building | Furnishings, screens and finishes |
Condos for Sale in Parker Highland
Here is where the building differs from almost every competitor on this coastline. Every residence is a three-bedroom, and the standard floor plan runs about 2,600 square feet with at least two and a half bathrooms. You are not choosing between a one-bedroom tier and a penthouse tier, because that hierarchy does not exist here.
What you are choosing instead is a floor and an exposure. Combined units appear occasionally when neighboring owners merge two residences, which pushes square footage considerably higher and produces the largest homes in the building. Recent Parker Highland real estate has traded from roughly $1.8 million, with asking prices on upper floors reaching well beyond that.
Inside the Residences
- Open floor plans running to roughly 2,600 square feet as standard
- Three bedrooms with two and a half bathrooms at minimum
- Expansive private balconies facing the Atlantic and the Intracoastal
- Floor-to-ceiling glass across the principal rooms
- Renovated kitchens with stone counters and updated appliances
- High ceilings uncommon in buildings of this era
- Assigned covered parking in the secured garage
- Private storage assigned to each residence
Why Twenty-Six Residences Changes the Math
Scale cuts both ways in a condominium, and buyers should understand both edges before making an offer. A small owner group means decisions move quickly and neighbors actually know each other, though it also concentrates any capital cost.
| Consideration | Parker Highland | A Larger Oceanfront Tower |
|---|---|---|
| Residence count | Twenty-six in total | Often between 100 and 300 |
| Homes per floor | Roughly three | Six to twelve is common |
| Listings in a year | A handful at most | Enough to choose between |
| Elevator traffic | You learn the other residents | Largely anonymous |
| Reserve burden | Shared across 26 owners | Spread far more thinly |
| Assessment exposure | A repair bill divides 26 ways | The same bill divides by hundreds |
| Resale timing | Waiting for the right floor is normal | Inventory usually exists |
Amenities at Parker Highland
The amenity list runs unusually long for a building this size, and staffing is the part buyers notice first. A doorman works full-time alongside round-the-clock security, which is rare outside towers many times larger.
- Two hundred linear feet of private Atlantic beach frontage
- Oceanfront heated swimming pool with a sundeck and loungers
- Spa and hot tub set beside the pool deck
- Fully equipped fitness center with a sauna
- Club room, game room and billiards for resident use
- Computer and business room off the lobby
- Picnic and barbecue area looking straight out over the ocean
- Covered parking garage with allocated resident spaces
- Bike room and individual storage lockers
- Full-time doorman with security staffed around the clock
Living at Parker Highland
Life in a twenty-six residence building runs differently from life in a tower. The doorman knows which deliveries are yours, and the lift rarely holds a stranger. Association meetings involve people you recognize from the pool deck. Some buyers find that closeness appealing and others find it constraining, so it is worth being honest with yourself about which camp you fall into.
The setting does the rest of the work. Waves are audible from the balconies and the barbecue area looks straight out over the Atlantic. The Intracoastal sits close enough that boat traffic becomes part of the daily backdrop. Highland Beach has no commercial strip to speak of, so evenings stay genuinely quiet.
Who Buys at Parker Highland
Three kinds of buyer circle this building, and they rarely compete for the same floor. Seasonal owners want lock-and-leave security above everything, which the doorman and covered garage deliver, and they tend to favor higher floors for the view.
Downsizers form the second group, usually arriving from a large house further inland. Many find that 2,600 square feet on one level suits them better than four bedrooms across two stories. The third group are long-term coastal buyers who have watched Highland Beach for years and understand that a building of twenty-six will always be supply-constrained. Whichever describes you, the search takes patience rather than urgency.
What Buyers Should Verify Before Making an Offer
Older oceanfront buildings in Florida now carry documentation that did not exist a decade ago. Reading it properly separates a sound purchase from an expensive surprise. These are the items that matter most in a building of this age and size.
- The structural milestone inspection report and any recommendations still outstanding
- The current reserve study, and whether reserves are fully funded or waived
- Any special assessment voted, pending or under discussion by the board
- The building's master insurance policy, particularly wind and flood coverage
- Concrete restoration history on balconies and the exterior envelope
- Leasing rules, including minimum terms and any cap on rented residences
- Pet policy, which varies considerably between Highland Beach buildings
- Whether the residence has ever been combined with a neighboring unit
With twenty-six owners sharing every cost, a single large project moves the monthly figure here more than it would in a building of two hundred. Ask the manager what the board has discussed over the past two years, not simply what has already been approved.

You will find the building at 4605 South Ocean Boulevard, Highland Beach, FL 33487, on the ocean side of A1A. Delray Beach sits a few minutes north and Boca Raton a similar distance south, which gives residents two downtowns without living inside either one.

Comparable Buildings in Highland Beach
Highland Beach runs to roughly three miles of coastline, and most of it is condominium. These five come up most often against Parker Highland, each trading something different on scale, vintage or position.
Ambassadors
Ambassadors offers another well-established oceanfront address along the very same stretch of A1A, complete with its own private beach frontage. Its owner group runs considerably larger, which spreads reserve costs across many more residences than twenty-six. Buyers weighing assessment exposure against boutique scale usually compare the two of them first.
Carron House
Carron House is another intimate Highland Beach building where listings surface only infrequently through the year. Turnover this low suits buyers willing to wait for exactly the right floor to open up. Anyone working to a moving date will find the pace frustrating, since a suitable residence may not appear for months.
Clarendon
Clarendon sits along this same oceanfront corridor, carrying both its own amenity package and its own quite distinct management culture. Comparing the two association budgets line by line matters far more than comparing the lobbies does. Fee structures diverge noticeably between Highland Beach buildings of otherwise similar vintage and size.
Ocean Grande Place
Ocean Grande Place brings considerably newer construction into the equation, which changes both the insurance picture and the milestone inspection timeline here. Expect that difference to show up directly in the monthly figure. It appeals to buyers who would rather pay more now than inherit somebody else's deferred maintenance schedule.
Highland Beach Isles
Highland Beach Isles answers a rather different question entirely, offering townhomes on the water instead of a residence inside a tower. You trade the doorman and the elevator for a private entrance and rather more control. Boaters in particular tend to look here before committing to any oceanfront building at all.
Frequently Asked Questions About Parker Highland Condos for Sale
How Many Units Are in Parker Highland?
Twenty-six residences sit across eight floors, which works out to roughly three homes on each level. That count places it among the smallest oceanfront buildings anywhere in Highland Beach. Scarcity is the direct consequence, since a building this size may produce only a handful of listings across an entire year.
When Was Parker Highland Built?
Construction completed in 1980, though at least one listing source records the year as 1981 instead. Either way the building has passed the age at which Florida now requires a structural milestone inspection. Ask for the completed inspection report and the current reserve study before your own inspection period expires.
How Big Are the Condos in Parker Highland?
The standard residence runs about 2,600 square feet with three bedrooms and at least two and a half bathrooms. Merged units appear occasionally where owners have combined two neighboring homes, and those reach considerably higher. Published ranges vary by source, so verify square footage against the actual recorded floor plan.
What Are the HOA Fees at Parker Highland?
Fees have been reported near 91 cents per square foot each month, putting a 2,600 square foot residence somewhere around $2,400. That covers building insurance, structural repair, the grounds, the pool and garage parking. Request the current budget directly, because condominium fees across Florida have moved sharply in recent years.
Does Parker Highland Have Private Beach Access?
It does, across roughly two hundred linear feet of Atlantic frontage belonging to the building itself. Residents here reach the sand without ever crossing a public access point or a road. An oceanfront swimming pool, a sundeck and a barbecue area all sit between the building and the open ocean.
Is Parker Highland a Secure Building?
Security runs around the clock and a full-time doorman staffs the lobby, which is unusual in a building holding only twenty-six residences. Parking sits inside a covered garage rather than an open surface lot. Together those arrangements are among the reasons seasonal owners feel comfortable leaving for months at a time.
How Much Do Parker Highland Condos Cost?
Recent transaction data shows a residence trading near $1.8 million, with upper-floor asking prices reaching considerably higher than that. Older published ranges understate today's market badly, so treat any figure more than a year old with real caution. Floor level and exposure drive most of the variation between residences here.
How Do I Buy a Condo in Parker Highland?
Register your interest well before any listing appears, because inventory this thin rarely waits for a buyer. A local real estate agent can flag an upcoming resale and pull the association documents early on. Ask too which floors have historically commanded the strongest resale prices inside this particular oceanfront building.
