About The Carlton — Luxury Condominium in Boca Raton
The Carlton was completed in 1980 as one of East Boca's earliest waterfront high-rises. The 17-story tower rises along the south shore of Lake Boca, with 63 condominium residences and only four units per floor. However, recent improvements have brought the building to a much newer standard. The association replaced every window and slider with hurricane-impact glass, redesigned the lobby, and refreshed the elevator finishes.
Floor plans inside the building range from one-bedroom layouts near 1,200 square feet to four-bedroom residences approaching 2,850 square feet. Most owners choose the three-bedroom plan, which lands around 2,500 square feet. From a design standpoint, the curved exterior gives every unit a wraparound balcony, and floor-to-ceiling windows fill each room with daylight. Beyond those features, The Carlton attracts professionals, retirees, and seasonal residents who want full-service waterfront living.

Inside that band, renovated Carlton units often close slightly higher than peer equivalents. Original-condition units, on the other hand, trade at a small discount. A renovated three-bedroom condo typically lists between $1.5 million and $2.5 million.
An original-condition unit of the same size starts closer to $1 million. Penthouses and the largest plans with custom finishes reach the $3 to $4 million range.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Carlton, Boca Raton
How Walkable Is The Carlton to the Beach and Local Dining?
The Carlton sits within a 10-minute walk of South Inlet Park and the Atlantic Ocean. You reach Mizner Park in about five minutes by car, while Atlantic Avenue restaurants in Delray Beach are 15 minutes north. Royal Palm Place sits a few minutes northwest for additional dining options. As a result, the address scores well above the East Boca average for daily walkability. Residents who skip the car still reach beach, dining, and the resort grounds with ease.
What Recent Renovations Has The Carlton Completed?
The building underwent a major modernization in the last decade. The most significant project replaced every window and slider with hurricane-impact glass, which improved both safety and energy performance. Beyond the windows, the association invested in a redesigned lobby and brought the elevator interiors up to current standards. Many individual units have also been updated by owners with custom kitchens, marble flooring, and contemporary bathrooms.
Does The Carlton Offer Private Boat Docking?
Yes, private docking facilities sit directly behind the building on the Lake Boca shoreline. The slips accommodate smaller vessels and connect to the Intracoastal Waterway for quick ocean access. Owners who want a slip should review current availability with the association, since slips run on a waitlist when full. Larger yacht owners often rely on the Boca Raton Resort & Club marina, which sits a short walk east.
How Does The Carlton Compare to Boca Inlet and Lake House South?
The three buildings sit next to each other on Lake Boca and share the same general waterfront positioning. By contrast, The Carlton offers slightly larger floor plates and the wraparound balcony design across every unit. Prices across the trio track within a tight band, though renovated Carlton units often close at the top of that range. Buyers cross-shopping the trio typically weigh stack orientation and renovation status more than building reputation.
Are Pets Allowed at The Carlton?
The Carlton allows pets under standard high-rise condo rules, with size limits that apply to most units. Owners should review the latest pet policy and any breed restrictions with the association before bringing a pet on tour. By the same token, the building offers a few resident-friendly conveniences for pet owners, including direct outdoor access to the lakeside lawn for daily walks.
Can Carlton Residents Use the Boca Raton Resort & Club?
The Carlton sits next to the Boca Raton Resort & Club but operates as a separate condominium community. Residents do not receive automatic access to the resort's golf, tennis, spa, or beach club. However, separate memberships are available for purchase. Many Carlton owners hold them for direct access to the golf course, marina, restaurants, and beach. Membership terms and waitlists adjust periodically.
