Boynton Beach runs west from the Intracoastal Waterway in southern Palm Beach County, just south of the Boynton Inlet. Its east side holds the Boynton Harbor Marina, the rebuilt Town Square downtown and older streets near the Florida East Coast tracks, while much of the housing farther west was built in the 1970s and 1980s. Many “Boynton Beach” addresses farther west, out toward the Everglades refuge, sit outside the city. In the 90 days ending September 26, 2026, single-family homes with a Boynton Beach address sold for a median $450,200 and condos for $203,500.

Living in Boynton Beach
The city takes its name from Major Nathan Smith Boynton, a Civil War veteran from Port Huron, Michigan, who bought oceanfront land in the 1890s and opened the Boynton Hotel in 1897. The Florida East Coast Railway reached Boynton in 1896, and the settlement grew as a farming town shipping produce north. Boynton incorporated in 1920. In 1931 the beachfront split off after a tax dispute and later renamed itself Ocean Ridge, and in 1941 the mainland town took the name Boynton Beach.
Water shapes the east side. The South Lake Worth Inlet, known locally as the Boynton Inlet, opened in 1927 to flush the south end of Lake Worth and now carries fishing and pleasure boats to the ocean. Half a mile south, the Boynton Harbor Marina on Federal Highway keeps a working waterfront of charter fishing and dive boats. The city’s own beach, Oceanfront Park, sits across the Intracoastal inside Ocean Ridge. To the west, Boynton Beach Boulevard runs out to the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1951 in the northern Everglades.
Census estimates show a split housing stock. A little over half of the city’s homes are single-unit houses, detached or attached, and about one in five sits in a building with 20 or more units, which means condominium and apartment towers make up a real share of what is for sale. Roughly half of all homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s. Only a small share predates 1960.
Newer construction clusters around specific projects. The Community Redevelopment Agency’s Town Square rebuilt a four-block civic area at Boynton Beach and Seacrest boulevards, with a City Hall and library that opened in 2020, though its planned private condos and apartments stalled and a new developer was approved to finish them. Near the marina, the Marina Village Condominium sits beside the working docks. If a listing is in a historic district or on the city’s historic register, exterior work needs city approval.
I-95 runs north-south through the city, with exits at Boynton Beach Boulevard (Exit 57) and Gateway Boulevard (Exit 59). Florida’s Turnpike crosses Boynton Beach Boulevard farther west at Exit 86. Boynton Beach Boulevard, State Road 804, is the main east-west road: it runs from US-441 in the west, through downtown as Ocean Avenue, to A1A in Ocean Ridge. Federal Highway and Congress Avenue are the other main north-south roads.
Tri-Rail’s Boynton Beach station, open since 1989, is at 2800 High Ridge Road, just north of Gateway Boulevard and west of I-95, with free daytime parking for riders and Palm Tran bus connections. Boaters reach the ocean through the Boynton Inlet, a short run north of the marina. From downtown, Ocean Avenue crosses the Intracoastal to Ocean Ridge and A1A.
Areas
Boynton Beach’s areas differ mainly by distance from the Intracoastal and by whether they are inside the city at all.
The civic core around Boynton Beach and Seacrest boulevards, rebuilt by the city and its CRA with a City Hall and library, an amphitheater and the restored historic high school. The Schoolhouse Children’s Museum stays on Ocean Avenue.
Ask Oleg about homes downtown and near Town SquareThe marina at 710 N. Federal Highway, half a mile south of the inlet, is owned by the CRA and kept as a commercial fishing and dive-boat harbor with public waterfront. Ocean Avenue leads from here toward the bridge to Ocean Ridge and the beach.
Ask Oleg about homes near Boynton Harbor Marina and Ocean AvenueThe strip between the FEC tracks and the Intracoastal holds waterfront condominiums, Intracoastal Park at 2240 N. Federal Highway, and the Boynton Woman’s Club at 1010 S. Federal Highway, a 1920s Addison Mizner building on the National Register.
Ask Oleg about homes along Federal Highway and the IntracoastalA business and mixed-use area along Gateway Boulevard between I-95 and Congress Avenue. The Boynton Beach Tri-Rail station sits at its edge on High Ridge Road.
Ask Oleg about homes near Quantum Park and Gateway BoulevardWest of the city, Boynton Beach Boulevard continues past Florida’s Turnpike to US-441 through unincorporated Palm Beach County. These addresses say Boynton Beach but fall under county government, not the city.
Ask Oleg about homes in West Boynton BeachBefore you buy
Low ground along the Intracoastal Waterway and near the inlet is the most likely to sit in FEMA high-risk zones (those starting with A or V). New FEMA flood maps took effect in Palm Beach County on December 20, 2024, and added flood zones or raised base flood elevations for many properties in the county’s eastern areas, so an older flood determination may be out of date.
The city notes that a meaningful share of flood claims come from outside mapped high-risk zones, and it takes part in FEMA’s Community Rating System, which lowers flood insurance premiums for policies in the city. Look up any address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center or the county’s flood zone map, and ask for the elevation certificate before you make an offer. The city’s Development Department can also check a property against its floodplain records.
Two Florida rules apply to every sale. Since October 1, 2024, Florida sellers of residential property must hand buyers a flood disclosure at or before signing the contract, and since October 1, 2025 it covers any flooding that damaged the property during the seller’s ownership, flood insurance claims (including with the National Flood Insurance Program), and any flood-damage assistance received, such as from FEMA. Citizens Property Insurance is also phasing in required flood coverage on its policies that include wind coverage: it already applies in FEMA high-risk zones and to higher-value homes, and reaches all remaining such policies written or renewed on or after January 1, 2027. Condo unit owner policies are exempt.
Much of the city’s housing sits under an association. With about one in five homes in buildings of 20 or more units, condominium rules, reserves and assessments matter for a large part of the market. Read the association documents and budget before you commit. In Florida, a seller in a mandatory HOA must give you a disclosure summary before you sign, or you can cancel. The city also runs its own building recertification program for older condominium and co-op buildings, so ask the association for its inspection reports.
Historic rules apply to a smaller set of properties. Boynton Beach keeps its own register of historic places, and exterior work, additions or demolition on a designated property, or anything inside a designated historic district, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness reviewed by the Historic Resources Preservation Board. Ask the seller whether a property is designated before you plan exterior changes.
Condo buildings three habitable stories or taller need a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year they turn 30, then every 10 years; local officials can require it at 25 where salt water or similar conditions warrant. A deeper phase two follows only if the visual phase one finds substantial structural deterioration. These buildings also need a structural integrity reserve study every 10 years, and owners can’t vote to waive or cut reserves for the items it covers. Before buying, ask for the inspection summary, the reserve study, and any special assessments. Resale buyers get 7 days, not counting weekends and holidays, after receiving the association documents to cancel.
Questions
Not always. The name on the address comes from the post office, and much of the land west of the city, including all of ZIP 33437 and most of 33436, is unincorporated Palm Beach County. Those properties fall under county government and county rules. Boynton Beach Utilities also serves some unincorporated areas, so a city water bill alone does not prove a home is in the city.
33426 and 33435 cover most of the city, with 33435 also taking in Ocean Ridge and Briny Breezes on the coast. 33436 is split between the city, the Village of Golf and unincorporated land, and 33437 lies west of the city entirely. Prices differ sharply by ZIP code: see the market snapshot above.
Parts of it. Homes near the Intracoastal Waterway and the Boynton Inlet are more likely to sit in FEMA high-risk zones (those starting with A or V). New county flood maps took effect in December 2024, so check the current map on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center and ask for the elevation certificate before you make an offer.
Yes, though it sits in the next town. Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park is at 6415 N. Ocean Boulevard in Ocean Ridge, across the Intracoastal, with lifeguards daily and annual parking permits sold at City Hall. Ocean Ridge itself split from Boynton in 1931.
Boating and fishing come first: charter fishing and dive boats leave from the Boynton Harbor Marina, a short run from the Boynton Inlet. Downtown has the Town Square amphitheater and the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum. To the west, the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge off US-441 has a cypress swamp boardwalk, trails and a canoe trail in the northern Everglades.
