Housing
Established planned communities, townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes make up much of central Boca Raton.
Getting around
A car is useful. Palmetto Park Road connects downtown and the beach; I-95 and Florida's Turnpike are accessible.
A little history
Central Boca Raton expanded rapidly during South Florida's postwar growth and later planned-community era.
Living here
Residents value schools, parks, shopping and central access more than nightlife or beach walkability.
Visiting for the first time
Sugar Sand Park is the anchor for families, with the theatre and Town Center area nearby.
Family-focused recreation
Sugar Sand Park combines play, learning and trails in one of the city's best-known family destinations.
Central access
The area's position between downtown and western Boca makes it practical for daily life and regional travel.
