Living in Boca Raton, Florida: Paradise For a Price (2026)

Everyone is talking about moving to Boca Raton, Florida, but almost nobody tells you what it actually costs to live here. In this video I break down the real price of paradise: the mandatory country club fees written into the deeds, the insurance crisis, the New Yorker Effect, and the reasons 1,000 new residents still move here every single year. I have been selling homes across Palm Beach and Broward County for 25+ years, and this is the honest, numbers-first tour I wish every buyer watched before they fell in love with a house down here. Inside this video: Why high earners from New York, New Jersey, and California are flooding in (hint: zero state income tax) The country club "monopoly" and initiation fees from $150K to $400K Florida's home insurance crisis and what is actually changing in 2026 The A-rated schools, beaches, and lifestyle that keep people coming Who Boca is perfect for, and who should look somewhere else Thinking about buying or selling in Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Parkland, Delray Beach, or anywhere in South Florida? That is exactly what my team and I do every day.
