BOCA

 

Nestled right off the Atlantic Ocean and located in Palm Beach County, Boca Raton is one of the most beautiful cities in South Florida.  Boca Raton's architecture was created and formed by Addison Mizner, and it can be seen in the area’s elegant Mediterranean Revival-style homes. Boca, as popularly referred to by residents, has exploded into an upscale and vibrant city featuring rich culture and history. Another charming fact about Boca is the relaxing tropical warm weather. Most days in Boca Raton will be sunny and breezy, creating the perfect conditions for a beach stroll, shopping, or golfing on one of Boca's incredible golf courses.

 

Because of its central location, Boca is only 47 minutes to Miami, 24 minutes to Fort Lauderdale, two hours to Fort Myers, and only one and a half hours to Naples. You can access surrounding cities through I-95 or board a flight at the Boca Raton Airport.
