Living in Highland Beach

Private residential coastline

Highland Beach occupies a narrow strip of barrier island along A1A, with the ocean to the east and the Intracoastal to the west. With almost no commercial development, it is quiet and residential, while Boca Raton and Delray Beach provide dining and shopping within minutes.

Most residents live in condominiums, from mid-rise buildings to larger oceanfront towers, so buyers can compare a wide range of buildings along a short drive.
