Del-Ida Park Homes for Sale, Delray Beach
Del-Ida Park sits immediately north of Atlantic Avenue, between Swinton Avenue and the railroad, and it is the one Delray Beach neighborhood laid out on diagonal streets. It is a designated historic district, which is the most important thing to understand before you buy here: what you can and cannot do to a house is reviewed.

What is actually for sale here
Six properties, and they could not be more different from each other: a 1947 house on North Swinton Avenue, a 1968 duplex on NE 3rd Avenue at just under a million, two vacant lots at $1,850,000 each, a 2018 custom house on Palm Court at $6,000,000, and a 1959 estate on George Bush Boulevard asking $17,900,000.
That last one skews every average on the page, which is why the closed-sale figures matter more. Over two years, actual transactions here ran $900,000 to $3,595,000, averaging about $919 per square foot. That is the real Del-Ida Park market.
The other thing the data shows: a lot of the inventory is multifamily. Three of the seven recent sales were duplexes or small multifamily buildings. This is one of the few walkable Delray addresses where small income property still trades, which makes it unusual and worth knowing about if that is what you are after.
The historic district question
Del-Ida Park is a historic district, and that cuts both ways. It protects the character that makes the neighborhood worth buying into, and it adds a review layer to exterior changes, additions and demolition.
A 2025 house closed here at $3,595,000, so building new is clearly possible. But do not assume you can buy a 1950s cottage and replace it with whatever you like. Confirm what is permitted for the specific parcel before you are under contract, not after.
The streets
Del-Ida Park's addresses include North Swinton Avenue, Dixie Boulevard, George Bush Boulevard, Palm Court, NE 2nd and 3rd Avenues, and NE 5th Street, Court and Terrace. The diagonal layout is the giveaway: nowhere else in Delray Beach do the streets run at that angle, which is part of why the neighborhood feels distinct from Osceola Park on the other side of Atlantic.
What to check before you make an offer
- Historic district review requirements for the specific property, including what counts as a contributing structure.
- What is permitted for additions, exterior changes or demolition. Get this in writing before you plan a renovation.
- Zoning if you are buying multifamily, and whether current use is conforming.
- Age of roof, electrical and plumbing. Much of this housing stock is from the 1940s and 1950s.
- Flood zone and elevation for the parcel.
- Rental rules if the income is part of your underwriting.
I will check all of this on a specific address with you. .
Del-Ida Park questions I get asked most
Is Del-Ida Park a historic district?
Yes. It is one of Delray Beach's designated historic districts, which means exterior work, additions and demolition go through a review process. Confirm what applies to the specific property before you plan anything, because it varies by structure.
Can you walk to Atlantic Avenue from Del-Ida Park?
Yes, easily. The neighborhood begins just north of Atlantic Avenue, so the restaurants, shops and Pineapple Grove are a short walk. It is one of the genuinely walkable Delray addresses that still has single family houses with yards.
Why are there duplexes in Del-Ida Park?
The neighborhood was built out before current zoning patterns, and small multifamily buildings from the 1950s and 1960s remain. Three of the last seven sales here were multifamily. For a walkable downtown Delray address, that is unusual and it is why investors look here.
Why is one house asking $17.9 million?
A single large estate on George Bush Boulevard is currently listed at that number, which pulls the neighborhood average far above what actually trades. Closed sales over the past two years ranged from $900,000 to $3,595,000. Look at the closed figures, not the asking average.
How is Del-Ida Park different from Osceola Park?
They sit on opposite sides of Atlantic Avenue and behave differently. Osceola Park is the active teardown and rebuild market with heavy new construction. Del-Ida Park is historic-district protected, has diagonal streets and more multifamily, and changes more slowly.
Thinking about Del-Ida Park?
Six properties on the market, and three different kinds of buyer want them. Tell me whether you are after a house, a lot or income property and I will send only what fits.
