Discover Boca Raton’s Best No-HOA Neighborhoods
Not all Boca Raton neighborhoods come with HOA fees, rules, and red tape—and for many buyers, that’s a huge win. If you’re dreaming of a home where you make the decisions about your landscaping, your paint color, or whether your boat can sit in the driveway, you’re in the right place.
From waterfront retreats to vintage charmers tucked just steps from the beach, Boca has some amazing non-HOA options that offer flexibility without sacrificing location or lifestyle. Speaking of lifestyle, make sure to follow #SoooBoca on Instagram for places to go, things to do and overall lifestyle on a daily and weekly basis!
Here are a few of our favorite #soooboca-approved no-HOA neighborhoods worth exploring:
Boca Villas
Located just east of Mizner Park, Boca Villas offers a mix of original Old Florida homes and brand-new luxury builds—all walkable to downtown shops, dining, and even the Brightline station. It’s one of Boca’s most vibrant, in-demand areas and best of all? No HOA.
Boca Raton Square
This East Boca neighborhood is loved for its quiet streets, ranch-style homes, and potential for updating or expanding. With top-rated schools nearby and easy access to the beach and I-95, it’s a smart choice for homeowners who want a great location without extra restrictions.
Lake Rogers Isle
A true boater’s paradise, Lake Rogers features wide canals, private docks, and beautiful waterfront homes just minutes from the beach. This upscale community is all about luxury and freedom—without HOA oversight.
Boca Harbour
Another hot spot for boaters and waterfront lovers, Boca Harbour offers deepwater access and a relaxed neighborhood vibe. Whether you love classic coastal style or modern new builds, you’ll find plenty of charm and zero HOA rules here.
Boca Riviera
If you’re craving Old Boca charm with a beachy twist, Boca Riviera is for you. With tree-lined streets and walkability to the beach and downtown, this laid-back, luxury enclave offers a coastal lifestyle without the typical HOA restrictions.
Spanish River Land
Tucked near the Intracoastal and a short stroll from the sand, Spanish River Land is known for custom estates, architectural flair, and beautiful streetscapes. It’s one of Boca’s most elegant neighborhoods—and one of the most private, thanks to the lack of an HOA.
Camino Gardens
Originally developed in the 1960s, Camino Gardens is full of character and mid-century charm. Think big yards, classic ranch homes, and a quiet East Boca location just minutes from downtown. No HOA, no problem.
Old Floresta
This historic neighborhood is a gem. With Mediterranean architecture, mature trees, and a rich history dating back to Addison Mizner himself, Old Floresta is perfect for buyers who love vintage charm, tropical beauty, and freedom from HOA guidelines.
Royal Oak Hills
A warm, welcoming neighborhood with a true community feel, Royal Oak Hills is a longtime favorite among Boca locals. Spacious lots, classic Florida architecture, and a prime East Boca location make it ideal for anyone who wants to be close to everything—with no association telling you what to do.
Lake Floresta Park
Nestled in the heart of East Boca, Lake Floresta Park offers charm, central location, and a true neighborhood vibe. With canal-front and interior homes, proximity to top schools and universities, and easy access to beaches, parks, and shops—it’s a quiet, under-the-radar favorite.
