Updated October 29, 2026
Delray Ridge is a gated enclave of 14 two-story single-family homes on Delray Ridge Lane off N Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach, less than two miles north of Atlantic Avenue. Toll Brothers base pricing starts at about $2,914,995 before lot premium. Six closed sales compute to roughly $655 to $860 per square foot, the lowest new-construction rate in the coastal corridor.

What Delray Ridge is, and the one thing most pages get wrong about it
Delray Ridge is a 14-home gated community off N Swinton Avenue, described as the third gated community in eastern Delray Beach alongside The Estuary and Delray Lakes. The homes are two stories on lots of at least 9,500 square feet with at least 75 feet of frontage. It is under two miles from Atlantic Avenue, which means you are in a quiet residential pocket rather than on top of the bar district, and you can still be downtown in five minutes.
The number you will see wrong everywhere: this is a 14-home community, not a 5-home community. Toll Brothers' marketing says "only five home sites available," and its own community page says 5 in one place and 14 in another. Competitors copy the 5 and publish it as the community size. Fourteen is the total; five is Toll Brothers' remaining share. If you are told this is a five-home enclave, the person telling you has not read past the brochure.
On the address: you will see 2201 N Swinton Avenue given as the project address. That is the community's street-front address and it is also a specific 4 bedroom, 5 bath, 4,766-square-foot home built in 2022. It is not a sales office. The homes themselves are on Delray Ridge Lane, numbered 2212 through 2285.
The builder changed mid-project, and that is the main thing to understand
This community has two builders and two pricing eras, which is why the published numbers conflict so badly.
- Ellish Builders of Boca Raton, under chairman and CEO Ron Ellish, originated the project. Ellish bought the site for $5.4 million across two 2020 deals and landed a $25 million guidance line of credit from Centennial Bank in September 2023, with a projected sellout of more than $50 million. Ellish-era marketing used the model names Napa and Sonoma, each offered in a contemporary flat-roof or a transitional peaked-roof style, at $4 million to $6 million on homes of 4,700 to 6,600 square feet.
- Ellish completed nine of the 14 homes. Toll Brothers took over the remaining five home sites and announced pre-sales on November 5, 2025. Toll Brothers sells two plans: the Nautilus, a 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home of 4,197 square feet with a 4-car garage, and the Isle, a 5 bedroom, 4.5 to 5.5 bath home of 4,605 square feet with a 3-car garage.
No published source reconciles the Napa and Sonoma names against the Nautilus and Isle names, so if a listing references a Napa or a Sonoma you are looking at an Ellish-built home, not something you can order today. The Toll Brothers homes are smaller than what Ellish was marketing and priced lower, which accounts for most of the apparent price drop between the two eras. It is not evidence that the market fell.
Price per square foot: the best closed-sale data in the corridor
This is the only one of the new coastal projects I cover where you can compute price per square foot from actual recorded sales rather than from marketing. A pre-construction price per square foot is a marketing number. A closed-sale price per square foot is a market number. Here are the closings, with my arithmetic shown.
| Address | Closed price | Living sq ft | Computed price per sq ft | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2285 Delray Ridge Ln (Lot 8) | $3,650,000 | 4,766 | $766 | Sold September 9, 2026 |
| 2262 Delray Ridge Ln | $4,395,000 | 5,113 | $860 | Recent |
| 2255 Delray Ridge Ln (Nautilus) | $2,900,000 | 4,406 | $658 | Sold June 19, 2026 |
| 2212 Delray Ridge Ln | $3,250,000 | About 4,800 | About $677 | Sold |
| 2222 Delray Ridge Ln | $3,943,329 | About 4,700 | About $839 | Sold |
| 2242 Delray Ridge Ln | $3,966,679 | About 5,000 | About $793 | Sold |
The square footages for 2212, 2222 and 2242 are rounded in the public record I used, so treat those three rates as approximate. The first three are computed from specific published areas.
Current and recent asking prices, same arithmetic:
- 2252 Delray Ridge Ln - $4,299,000 against 5,113 square feet is $841 per square foot, 5 bedrooms and 6 baths.
- 2232 Delray Ridge Ln - $3,799,999 against 5,124 square feet is $742 per square foot, 5 bedrooms and 6 baths, pending, reduced by $399,001 from an original $4,199,000.
Toll Brothers base prices, which exclude the home-site premium:
- Nautilus - $2,914,995 against 4,197 square feet is $695 per square foot.
- Isle - $3,014,995 against 4,605 square feet is $655 per square foot.
Two things to note on the Toll Brothers numbers. The base prices exclude lot premium, so your actual delivered rate will be higher than $655 or $695. And a to-be-built home at a published base is not the same product as a finished home with a pool, landscaping and a summer kitchen already in it, which is part of why the closed sales run above the base rates.
Why that range is the whole argument for Delray Beach over Boca Raton
Delray Ridge at roughly $655 to $860 per square foot is the cheapest new construction across the stretch of coastline I work. For comparison, using the same arithmetic on published figures:
| Project | City | Price per sq ft | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delray Ridge | Delray Beach | $655 to $860 | Six closed sales plus asks and base prices. Highest confidence of any project I cover |
| Cache 11 | Delray Beach | $1,038 to $1,123 | Four live listings, air-conditioned area |
| Mr. C Residences | Boca Raton | $1,278 to $1,464 | Five published layout pairs, computed |
| Alina Residences | Boca Raton | $1,492 to $1,743 | One residence, published on both bases |
| The Residences at The Boca Raton | Boca Raton | About $2,000 | Floor estimate only. Entry price against average size |
At the extremes that is close to a three-times spread inside a six-mile stretch of coast, and nobody publishes it. Two honest caveats, because the comparison is not apples to apples. A condominium at any of those Boca buildings carries a monthly assessment that a single-family home does not, commonly $2,000 to $5,000 a month and up at that tier, and none of those buildings publishes its number. And a branded condominium buys you a staffed lobby, a spa and a restaurant, which a 14-home enclave does not. What you get here instead is land, a pool of your own, and a price per square foot roughly half of what downtown Boca charges.
The homes and the plans
Published features across both builders: private elevator, private pool, summer kitchen, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, smart home technology, optional home office and loft, lanai, gated entry with security monitoring.
The most interesting published option is an optional basement on select premium lots, adding about 1,500 square feet. Basements are genuinely unusual in South Florida, and 1,500 square feet of conditioned space below grade changes what a 4,200-square-foot plan can do. If you want that, it is lot-dependent, so ask which of the five remaining sites support it before you pick one.
There are no shared community amenities. No pool, no clubhouse, no fitness center is published. This is a home enclave behind a gate, not a condominium or a club community. Where the homeowners association applies, it is published as covering lawn care, irrigation, basic internet and TV, and security monitoring.
Toll Brothers buyers personalize through the Toll Brothers Southeast Florida Regional Design Studio. Sources give two locations: 951 Broken Sound Parkway NW Suite 340 in Boca Raton, and a sales center at 3870 Sherwood Boulevard in Delray Beach, both by appointment at 855-776-8655.
Worth knowing before you tour
The homeowners association dues are genuinely unresolved and I am not going to publish a number. One source says $878.45 a month. A specific 2026 closed sale records $790 a month. Toll Brothers' own community page says there is no homeowners association. The Toll Brothers claim contradicts two sources, one of which is a recorded sale. Get the current dues, the budget and the governing documents in writing before you make an offer, and if a salesperson tells you there is no association, ask them to put that in writing too.
Published prices range from $2.6 million to $6 million across sources, because you are looking at two builders in two eras selling two different sets of plans, and because Toll Brothers quotes base prices excluding lot premium. Any single "starting from" figure for this community is misleading without the date and the builder attached.
Published home sizes conflict between Ellish-era 4,700 to 6,600 square feet, Toll Brothers' 4,197 and 4,605 square feet, and an intermediate 4,700 to 5,100 square feet from two other sources. These describe different plans, not the same plan measured differently, but you cannot assume a published range applies to the home you are looking at.
Bath counts conflict between 4, 4.5, 5.5 and 6 depending on source. MLS records show 5 to 6; Toll Brothers plans say 4.5 to 5.5. Count them yourself on the plan.
Sales-progress figures conflict, and that is mostly because they are snapshots from different dates: seven of 14 pre-sold as of September 2023, 50 percent sold per one source, about 50 percent complete with deliveries into 2026 per another, and nine of 14 sold with seven completed and occupied and five lots remaining per the most recent. Years built are listed as 2023 through 2027. Date-stamp any figure anybody quotes you.
The Toll Brothers homes have no published completion date. They are to-be-built. One source projects 12 months from permitting, which is a builder's rule of thumb and not a commitment.
At least one public listing for this community is marked both "Sold" and "Under Construction" with a 2025 build year, which is a data-entry artifact rather than a fact about the home. Several sources also misspell the community as "Delay Ridge." If you are searching public records, search both.
No architect, interior designer or landscape architect is published for either builder.
Who Delray Ridge suits, and who it does not
It suits a buyer who wants new construction in eastern Delray Beach, behind a gate, with their own pool and their own land, and who is not willing to pay Boca condominium rates per square foot. It suits a family, because 4,200 to 5,100 square feet with four or five bedrooms on a 9,500-square-foot lot is a house, not a pied-a-terre. It suits a buyer who wants the Atlantic Avenue lifestyle without living in the noise of it. And if you want the optional basement, this is one of very few places in Palm Beach County where that is even on the menu.
It does not suit a lock-and-leave seasonal buyer who wants somebody else to handle everything: there is no concierge, no valet and no staff here. It does not suit a buyer who wants amenities, because there are none beyond the gate. It does not suit a buyer who needs certainty on carrying cost right now, because the association question is unresolved. And with five sites left out of 14, it does not suit a buyer who wants choice of location within the community.
Register me as your broker on your first visit, before you walk into the Toll Brothers sales center or design studio. This matters as much at a builder community as it does at a condominium tower. The builder pays the buyer-side commission either way, so representation costs you nothing. But if you walk in alone and sign the builder's registration sheet, you give up the right to be represented in that community permanently. The on-site representative is a builder's employee working for the builder, not for you, and at Delray Ridge there are two specific things somebody needs to be asking on your behalf: what the homeowners association actually costs, and which of the remaining five lots support the optional basement and the better orientation. I will go with you, or pre-register you so you are covered before you ever walk in.
How Delray Ridge compares to the alternatives
| Delray Ridge | Cache 11 | Onix Delray Beach | Mr. C Residences | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | 14 single-family homes, gated | 11 single-family homes, not gated | 26 condominium residences | 133 condominium residences |
| City | Delray Beach | Delray Beach | Delray Beach | Boca Raton |
| Pricing from | About $2.91M base, excluding lot premium | Lowest active listing $4,995,000 | $1.549M | $2.2M |
| Price per sq ft | $655 to $860 | $1,038 to $1,123 | See building page | $1,278 to $1,464 |
| Sizes | 4,197 to 5,124 sq ft | 4,732 to 4,942 sq ft air-conditioned | 1,400 to 2,000 sq ft | 1,522 to 2,869 sq ft, disputed |
| Association | Disputed: $878.45, $790 or none | No association | Condominium assessment, not published | Condominium assessment, not published |
| Closed sales data | Six closings published | None published | Pre-construction | Pre-construction |
| Walk to Atlantic Ave | No, under two miles by car | About three minutes by car | Three blocks | Not applicable |
- Cache 11 wins on the association question and on location. It has no homeowners association at all, which is settled rather than disputed, and it sits about 350 feet from the Intracoastal roughly three minutes from Atlantic Avenue. It is also about 60 percent more per square foot and it is not gated.
- Onix wins if you want to walk to Atlantic Avenue and want a far lower cash entry price. You get a condominium of 1,400 to 2,000 square feet rather than a house.
- Delray Ridge wins on price per square foot, on land, and on data quality. It is the only one of these with published closed sales, which means it is the only one where you can see what the market actually paid rather than what somebody is asking.
If you are also looking at branded Boca Raton condominiums, one of them needs a warning. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental at 105 E Camino Real in Boca Raton is the subject of a $417.7 million foreclosure suit filed in mid-2026 by a lender affiliated with Apollo Global Management; the developer has countersued for more than $500 million; the adjacent hotel entity filed Chapter 11 in December 2025 and has never opened; and at least 13 buyers have sued over deposits, with one $1.98 million judgment and one $2.1 million settlement. Completion timing is in dispute. These are allegations in pending cases, not findings of fact. It is not a normal building coming in 2027. The full picture is in my Mandarin Oriental Boca Raton foreclosure buyer guide. One of the practical advantages of buying a finished house at Delray Ridge is that this class of problem cannot reach you.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a home at Delray Ridge?
Toll Brothers base pricing on the five remaining home sites is about $2,914,995 for the Nautilus and about $3,014,995 for the Isle, both excluding the home-site premium. Recorded closings in the community range from $2,900,000 to $4,395,000. Earlier Ellish-era marketing published $4 million to $6 million on larger plans. Any single starting price for this community needs a builder and a date attached to be meaningful.
How many homes are in Delray Ridge?
Fourteen. This is the figure most competing pages get wrong. Toll Brothers' materials reference five home sites available, and some sites republish that five as the community size. Fourteen is the total community; five is Toll Brothers' remaining inventory after Ellish Builders completed nine.
What is the price per square foot at Delray Ridge?
Roughly $655 to $860, which I compute from six recorded sales, two asking prices and Toll Brothers' two base prices. Closed sales run from $658 per square foot at 2255 Delray Ridge Lane to $860 at 2262. Toll Brothers base prices compute to $655 and $695 before lot premium, so a delivered Toll home will come in above those figures. That range makes Delray Ridge the cheapest new construction per square foot in the Delray Beach and Boca Raton corridor by a wide margin.
When will the remaining Delray Ridge homes be finished?
No completion date is published. The remaining five Toll Brothers homes are to-be-built, and one source projects about 12 months from permitting. The nine Ellish-era homes are finished, with recorded sales in 2026 and build years reported across 2023 to 2027.
What are the HOA fees at Delray Ridge?
Unresolved, and I will not publish a figure. One source says $878.45 a month, a recorded 2026 sale shows $790 a month, and Toll Brothers' own community page says there is no homeowners association. Where dues do apply they are published as covering lawn care, irrigation, basic internet and TV, and security monitoring. Get the current figure, the budget and the governing documents in writing before you make an offer.
Is Delray Ridge a good investment?
I cannot answer that for your situation. What the facts support: it has the strongest closed-sale data of any new project in this corridor, it is the cheapest per square foot by a wide margin, and single-family land in eastern Delray Beach is finite. Against that, one home sold about 3.9 percent under its original ask and another is pending after a $399,001 reduction, which tells you this is not a market where every list price is getting met. The carrying cost is unresolved. And a 14-home community has a thin comparable set, so a resale valuation here depends heavily on a handful of sales.
Who built Delray Ridge?
Two builders. Ellish Builders of Boca Raton, under chairman and CEO Ron Ellish, originated the project and completed nine of the 14 homes. Toll Brothers, Inc. took over the remaining five home sites and announced pre-sales on November 5, 2025. No architect, interior designer or landscape architect is published for either builder.
Can I use my own realtor at Delray Ridge?
Yes, and you should. The builder pays the buyer-side broker, so representation generally costs you nothing. Builders typically require your broker to register with you on your first visit to the sales center or design studio, and if you tour alone and sign in you can forfeit representation in that community permanently. For resale homes in the community, the listings are held exclusively by Jennifer Kilpatrick and Cameron Sydenham of The Corcoran Group, who represent the seller, not you.
Construction status as of October 29, 2026: partly built and occupied. Ellish Builders completed nine of the 14 homes, with seven reported completed and occupied as of the most recent source. Toll Brothers holds the remaining five home sites and began pre-sales on November 5, 2025; those homes are to-be-built with no published completion date. Recorded 2026 closings include 2255 Delray Ridge Lane on June 19, 2026 and 2285 Delray Ridge Lane on September 9, 2026. 2232 Delray Ridge Lane is reported pending after a $399,001 price reduction. Sales-progress figures across sources are snapshots from different dates and conflict.
