A closer look at
West Boca Raton
West Boca Raton is the widely used real-estate name for unincorporated communities west of the City of Boca Raton. The area includes private country clubs, gated single-family neighborhoods, active-adult communities, townhomes, condominiums, newer mixed-use centers, parks, and schools.
A Boca Raton mailing address does not establish city jurisdiction. Palm Beach County rules and services generally apply, and each association or club adds its own fees, approvals, reserves, membership structure, maintenance, and leasing policies.
