Gated Communities in Boca Raton Florida versus Non-Gated Communities

Gated Communities in Boca Raton Florida versus Non-Gated Communities

Boca Raton Florida is made up of many gated communities or neighborhoods.  Gated communities are an accepted way of life in south Florida.  Yet, gated communities are not for everyone, because along with gated communities come rules and regulations and homeowner's fees. 

 

If you choose to live in one of the gated communities in Boca Raton FL, you must agree to abide by their rules and regulations.  Some gated communities are less restrictive than others.  For example, a restriction may be no "aggressive" breeds of dogs, or you are allowed 2 dogs with a maximum weight of 25 lbs.  Or, you can't paint your house purple.  Or, only domesticated anmals allowed.  Or, that screen in back must be a certain color and height so it's uniform with the rest of the neighborhood.

 

This is not a problem for many people - they are fine with the rules and regulations.  The communities' intentions are to keep them well maintained.  Many gated communities also maintain the lawns and landscaping and have a community pool and/or clubhouse.

 

One reason a person might choose not to live in gated community would be if they had a boat that they trailered in.  That would not be allowed in a gated community but would be allowed in the city of Boca Raton behind a six-foot fence.  They would need to buy a house on a street.   Or, if they had too many pets, or if they didn't want to pay the maintenance fees, the homeowner's fees, that come along with a gated community.  

 

Another reason a gated community might not work is that the person has a truck for work.  Trucks for work with lettering on the side are often not allowed unless pulled into a garage at night.  Oftentimes, they are too big.  On occasion, some communities will allow metallic signs to cover the lettering at night. 

 

 

Rules and regulations vary from community to community.  Each community is different, so if you are interested in a particular gated community in Boca Raton or Delray Beach or Boynton Beach FL, ask.  Because one gated community might take two dogs with a maximum weight of 25 lbs, another gated community may not have any weight restrictions.  Find out the pet restrictions for you and your dogs and cats, along with anything else of importance to you.  Is this an investment?  Can I rent it right away or must I hold it for a certain amount of time first?

 

There are many good things that come along with living in gated communities in Boca Raton.  Many people love them.  Some communities are guard gated and some are unmanned gated.  Gated communities come in all price ranges, including luxury gated communities. 

 

One such luxury gated community is Azura, a Pet Friendly Luxury Gated Community in Boca Raton FL.  You can read about Azura by clicking on that link.  If you are interested in buying or selling a home in south Florida, please call/text me (561) 716-7824 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

When you’re moving to Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or Highland Beach with furry family members, you need to work with an experienced, caring and committed REALTOR® who understands the challenges you face as a pet parent. You need Elyse Berman. After growing up in New York and working as a Court Reporter in a fast-paced judicial system, Elyse moved to Boca Raton in 1994. Her goal: to be close to the beach. With three kids and two dogs, her family settled in a pet-friendly gated community – but when the kids grew up and moved out, she decided it was time to live like she was on vacation every day in a place right on the beach. However, Elyse quickly learned that not all beachfront properties in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach are pet friendly. Some have confusing pet rules that change frequently – and some claim to be pet friendly but only allow birds and fish. Elyse’s addiction to research, fueled by her love of real estate, the law and her dogs, helped her discover her passion for helping people find pet-friendly homes in Boca Raton and the surrounding communities. (You can learn more about how and why Elyse became Boca Raton’s premier pet-friendly REALTOR here.) With an ever-evolving list of which condominiums and communities are pet friendly (as well as what restrictions they currently impose on buyers), Elyse is ready to help you find the perfect place to live in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or Highland Beach. Her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market dates back to 1994; she’s seen new communities spring up, watched old communities become revitalized, and kept an eye on all the complexes, neighborhoods and subdivisions in the area for years. Call Elyse (561) 716-7824 Email Elyse Elyse@ElyseBerman.com She’s with you every step of the way, from your first tour of a home to closing (and beyond.) In fact, she stays in touch with many of the people whose homes she helped find – and she’s even sold those same homes decades later. She truly wants her clients to be happy, so she answers her phone and will never pass you off to a team member. Having made a cross-country move herself with a husband, three kids, two dogs and a business to run, Elyse knows all about the challenges you’re facing – and she can help you find a pet-friendly gated community in Boca Raton, a pet-friendly condo, a pet-friendly 55+ active adult community or anything else you’re looking for. Elyse loves dogs (well, all pets, actually) – and she makes it her business to keep up with the communities that accept furry family members. She personally wouldn’t move anywhere that wouldn’t allow her pets, and she won’t expect you to, either. She’ll never ask you to get rid of a pet or waste your time; she really understands what it’s like to have to find a place that’s suitable for all members of the family. No pets? No problem – Elyse also understands people who want to live in pet-free condos and neighborhoods. She can help you pinpoint all the best places to live. Elyse currently volunteers her time on the Professional Standards Committee (after having served on the Grievance Committee) for the Board of Realtors®, where she continues to learn. Serving on these committees is a lot like court reporting, which is why she loves it. Additionally, in order to better serve her clients, Elyse has attained the following designations along with membership in the following organizations: CRS – Council of Residential Specialists ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative GRI – Graduate Realtor’s Institute E-Pro – Internet Certified – Technology Certification Program C2EX – REALTORS® Commitment to Excellence Member National Association of REALTORS® Member Florida Realtors® Member Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors® 2018 – 2020 – Grievance Committee – Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors® 2021 – Present – Professional Standards – Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors®
