Sabal Ridge

Sabal Ridge sits right on the sand in Boca Raton, with only 31 condominiums spread over 17 floors, so there are just two homes per floor and every place feels private and calm, which a lot of folks like, and the building has always kept a low profile even though it's been here since 1968, with some updates along the way, but it's still solid concrete with hurricane impact glass, covered balconies, and good security, with a doorman in the lobby, a manned gate, cameras, and no pets allowed, which some people appreciate and others do not. Most condos here have three bedrooms and three baths, wraparound floor plans, and big views through floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can see the ocean to the east or Lake Boca and the city to the west, and there are two balconies in many units, with space to watch the sun rise or set, as well as walk-in closets, wet bars, marble or quartz finishes, separate laundry rooms with washer and dryer, and things like built-in shelves, a pantry, and custom mirrors. Residents all have two garage spaces, extra storage, and there's a newly finished oceanfront pool deck, a fitness center, a library, a community room, an elevator, and a manager on site to keep things running well. The heated pool sits next to the beach, with a private walkway for residents to the sand, and there's a pavilion, plus bike storage, a workshop, and concierge service for when you need help. The homeowners association covers a lot, like cable, lawn care, building insurance, pest control, water, sewer, management, and pool service, with average monthly fees around $2,800, and they don't allow leasing or pets, as it's an age-restricted (55+) building, so residents have to be over 55. All units have climate control with central and zoned heating and cooling, and appliances like dishwasher, fridge, electric range, microwave, and garbage disposal come standard, plus in-unit laundry is allowed. The building's got covered and open balconies, hurricane windows, and CBS concrete construction, so it handles the weather pretty well, and it's set right on South Ocean Boulevard, with the Boca Beach Club next door and parks within walking distance, so there's always somewhere to go for a walk, and lots of people like sitting out or getting coffee in the lobby with neighbors. The grounds have tropical gardens and lawns, and the whole place stays maintained at a high level, since the fees cover all the common areas and upkeep, and there are regular social events for anyone who wants to join. They don't allow pets, and you can't rent out your unit, but that means most folks know their neighbors, and the atmosphere stays pretty quiet. Some units have been renovated with wood floors or onyx details, others keep their original tile and carpet, but all offer plenty of space-many with over 3,000 square feet including up to three bedrooms, walk-in closets, and several have double views if you get a place on a higher floor. Sabal Ridge is for people who want steady routines, privacy, security, friendly faces, and direct beach access, with everything set up so residents can relax and focus on daily living, and if you need a hand with repairs or questions, the staff is around to help, and the building always has someone looking after things if there's ever a problem.
