Highland Beach

Highland Beach is an exclusive coastal town known for luxury oceanfront living, quiet residential streets, and a peaceful beach lifestyle between Boca Raton and Delray Beach.

Highland Beach is a small, prestigious oceanfront community in Palm Beach County that offers a uniquely private slice of South Florida coastal living. With a limited footprint and a strong residential focus, it’s best known for luxury condominiums along the Atlantic Ocean, select waterfront properties along the Intracoastal, and a calm, upscale atmosphere.

Residents love the quiet, low-traffic feel while still being close to everything. Highland Beach sits between the two beautiful cities of Boca Raton and Delray Beach, making it easy to enjoy world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment just minutes away (Highland Beach has NO commercial district) without giving up the serenity that makes Highland Beach so desirable. 

Outdoor living here centers on the ocean and water access. Beach days, sunrise walks, and coastal breezes are part of everyday life, and many residents also enjoy boating and waterfront activities thanks to nearby Intracoastal access. It’s especially appealing to those who value privacy, a well-maintained community, and a refined coastal lifestyle.

Real estate in Highland Beach is largely made up of luxury condos, many with ocean views and resort-style amenities, along with a smaller number of single-family homes and Intracoastal properties. For buyers seeking exclusivity and a true “coastal retreat” feel, Highland Beach is one of South Florida’s standout locations.

This town's population comprises retirees and doubles in the winter months with northern seasonal residents.
The small-town charm of this town is highly unique, given its location. Incredibly, there isn't a single traffic light!

Every year, from March 1st to October 31st, sea turtles come to use their beautiful and quiet beaches as nesting grounds for their thousands of eggs.

Come live in this beautiful oasis called Highland Beach.
