Here's what to know before you buy, from Damara Cohn, founder and broker-owner of Mangrove Realty, with 25+ years in South Florida real estate.

Downtown and Mizner Park

Home types: luxury condo towers, townhomes, and new-construction residences.

Lifestyle: boating access to the ocean through the Boca Raton Inlet.

Lifestyle: close to the city's beach parks, including Red Reef Park and South Beach Park.

Moving to East Boca Raton from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, or DC

Taxes: Florida has no state income tax. If Boca becomes your primary home, the homestead exemption lowers your taxable value, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise.
Getting back north: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is about 30 minutes south and Palm Beach International about 40 minutes north. Brightline runs from downtown Boca to Miami and Orlando, and Tri-Rail also stops in Boca Raton.
Seasons: winter is peak season, with more buyers and more competition. Summer brings fewer showings and more room to negotiate.
