We report on 17 homes sold from $330K to $735K in zip code 33498. Mission Bay and Island Lakes were covered in a previous article.
Saturnia
Saturnia generally has the highest prices west of US-441. This report is no exception with two of the top three prices in Saturnia. Mainly this is due to the homes being large.
19354 Skyridge Circle sold for $735,000. The house has just over 4000 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a variety of nice features including a screened in pool with a lake view and a large second floor patio inside the screen.
Nearby 19245 Skyridge Circle sold for $670,000 with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 3300 square feet. It has extensive remodeling including the kitchen, master bath and marble tile.
Boca Isles
Boca Isles is a large development between Yamato and Glades on the west side of Cain. It includes two sections, North (closer to Yamato) and South (closer to Glades).
20070 Ocean Key Drive in Boca Isles South sold for $705,000, a pretty high price for that community. The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths in just under 3200 square feet, with extensive remodeling.
19078 Cloister Lake Lane in Boca Isles North sold for $605K with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 2700 square feet on one floor. Again this home had substantial remodeling and also has a screened in pool.
Back to Boca Isles South, 10933 Bal Harbor Drive sold for $569K with the same “Palm Beacher” 5 bed, 3 bath model as the one on Ocean Key Drive. The kitchen was nicely remodeled. Bathrooms and some floors could use an update and there’s no lake view but overall this buyer got quite a bargain by comparison.
Still in South, 19753 Dinner Key Drive sold for $545K with 4 beds and 3 baths in 2900 square feet on two floors. The house has some upgrades but some curious design choices may have reduced buyer interest.
In Boca Isles North again, the smallest model at 19496 Preserve Drive sold for $495K. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in 2100 square feet. A new roof and various upgrades likely increased the value.
The slightly larger at 10864 Tea Olive Lane sold for $479K with 4 bedrooms and 2300 square feet. Again a new roof helped the price. This is why if you’re looking to sell your home on the market for a decent price, its best to make sure everything looks perfect which might mean you need to reach out to a company like Prime Roofing to repair or install a new roof.
The lowest price in Boca Isles goes to 20113 N Key Drive (Boca Isles South) at $455K with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in 2800 square feet. The price was lower than usual because it’s a bank-owned property after a foreclosure last year.
The Shores at Boca Raton
Unusually large for The Shores, 11307 Sea Grass Circle sold for $665K with 7 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths in just over 4000 square feet on two floors. It’s a relatively high price for the neighborhood but a good deal for the buyer on a dollars per square foot basis and the house has some nice features as well.
We see more typical pricing with 18524 Ocean Mist Drive selling for $534K with 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in 3400 square feet. The price still works out cheap in dollars per square foot.
Boca Greens
Boca Greens is a gated golf course community but membership is not mandatory. Most homes are on one floor.
10353 Milburn Lane sold for $549,000. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 2700 square feet. This is after substantial renovation including new roof, new air conditioning, kitchen, floors and more.
The larger 10367 Camelback Lane sold for $480K with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in 2900 square feet. The substantial backyard is probably a magnet for sliced tee shots.
10556 Fenway Place went for the lowest price in Boca Greens this report at $350,000. The 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has 2100 square feet and sat on the market for over five months, due to a high original listing price ($435K).
Other Communities:
18636 Cape Sable Drive (image at top of this article) in Lakes at Boca Raton sold for $470,000. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in 2800 square feet on two floors.
18171 181st Circle S in Boca Chase sold for $383K with 4 beds and 2 baths in 2100 square feet. It took over six months to sell.
Stonebridge homes usually sell low due to the mandatory club membership. 17887 Stonebridge Court did better than usual at $330K with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in 3100 square feet.

May Home Sales I: $800K to $6.4M
We reviewed over 80 single family home sales (west of the Turnpike up to Atlantic in Delray) from May 1 into early June, restricted to homes with 3 or more bedrooms and at least 2000 square feet of living space. This is Part One of that review, covering homes selling over $800,000. All these homes were in zip codes 33498, 33496, and 33446, mostly in The Bridges, Seven Bridges, and The Oaks.
Click here for Part Two.
At the high end was 16031 Quiet Vista Circle in Stone Creek Ranch, on the west side of Lyons just north of Seven Bridges. The nearly 14,000 square foot house with 10 bedrooms and 10 1/2 baths sold for $6.4 million. The seller was billionaire Steven A. Cohen. The buyers are Cynthia Williams and her husband Ronald “Ron” Williams, former CEO of Aetna, with an estimated net worth close to $200M.
There was one other transaction for over $2M. 8700 Surrey Lane in Horseshoe Acres (north of Clint Moore, east of Lyons) sold for just over $2.8M with only 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths in 6000 square feet.
Nine other homes sold for $1M or more, in The Bridges, Seven Bridges, The Oaks, and Long Lake Estates. Most of these sold for between $215 and $250 per square foot, with two in The Bridges going for closer to $300 per square foot.
The smallest of these was 8510 Hawks Gully Avenue, with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in 3350 square feet. It sold for $1.1M ($328/sq.ft.) in just 17 days on the market. The house is on a corner lot with no waterfront and has significant upgrades including a gorgeous pool, but it still seems like a hefty price for what the buyer got. The house was previously purchased for less than $1M in 2015.
The best bargain of the million dollar homes was probably 8646 Lewis River Road, a 5200 sq.ft. 5 bedroom with a partial lake view which sold for just over $1.1M, or $216/sq.ft.
Others sold include:
- $1.43M: 18529 Long Lake Drive, Long Lake Estates, 6 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, 5800 sq.ft.
- $1.35M: 16844 Strasbourg Lane, Seven Bridges, 5 bedrooms, 6 full and two 1/2 baths, 5500 sq.ft.
- $1.2M: 17681 Middlebrook Way, The Oaks, 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, 5500 sq.ft.
- $1.14M: 16615 Sagamore Bridge Way, The Bridges, 4 beds, 5 baths, 3900 sq.ft.
- $1.08M: 17745 Vecino Way, The Oaks, 5 beds, 4 baths, 4450 sq.ft.
- $1.07M: 8518 Hawks Gully Ave, The Bridges, 4 beds, 4 1/2 baths, 4300 sq.ft.
- $1.02M: 9488 Eden Roc Ct, Seven Bridges, 5 beds, 6 baths, 4700 sq.ft. (new home)
$800K – $1M
Six homes sold for prices between $800,000 and $1,000,000, including three in The Oaks, one in Mizner Country Club, one in Saturnia, and one in Rio Poco.
16135 Rio Baile in Rio Poco (west side of 441 across from Saturnia Isles) sold for $995K. The house has 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths in 4200 square feet on a one-acre lot.
What would seem to be one of the biggest bargains was 17891 Monte Vista Drive in The Oaks. Selling for $880K, the house has 7 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths in 5500 square feet. Those familiar with The Oaks will guess correctly that the house has a Chinese drywall history. Purchased in 2007 for $1.3M, it was foreclosed in 2013 and then sold to an investor for $751K. Considering the cost of capital and other expenses, the investor probably lost money on this deal.
Others selling at $800K or more include:
$860K: 17978 Lake Azure Way, The Oaks, 4 beds, 5 1/2 baths, 4300 sq.ft.
$832K: 17689 Lake Azure Way, The Oaks, 3 beds, 3 full and 2 1/2 baths, 3400 sq.ft.
$800K: 16367 Braeburn Ridge Trail, Mizner Country Club, 4 beds, 3 1/2 baths, 3550 sq.ft.
$800K: 11742 Watercrest Lane, Saturnia, 6 beds, 4 1/2 baths, 4700 sq.ft.
It’s an interesting question comparing older and newer homes and that’s illustrated by two of the above transactions. In Saturnia, 11742 Watercrest Lane was built in 1999 and seems a relative bargain at $800K for a two-story home with 4700 square feet. While it could use updating in a few places the house has some very nice features including a gorgeous kitchen, a downstairs master bedroom suite and a swimming pool. By comparison in Seven Bridges, 9488 Eden Roc Court sold brand new for just over $1.02M, also with 4700 square feet. The Seven Bridges buyer paid an extra $224,000 for a house that is narrower on a smaller lot with no pool, and the master bedroom is on the second floor. Seven Bridges also has substantially higher HOA fees at close to $500/month vs. $320/month in Saturnia.
Which house do you think is a better deal?
Coming in Part Two – Homes from $185K to $750K.
Saturnia $493K to $800K for Early 2017
Houses in Saturnia sold for as little as $493,000 and as much as $800,000 in the first part of 2017. Saturnia is a gated community at the west end of Yamato Road, near Eagles Landing Middle School, Sunrise Park Elementary, and South County Regional Park.
There have been 15 transactions so far this year so we’ll just focus on the highlights.
Only one house sold for less than $500K – 19107 Skyridge Circle. The two-story has 4 bedrooms and 4 baths in 2800 square feet. It was on the market for over 8 months. We’re not sure why it didn’t sell quicker for more. It has a great lot and significant upgrades. A few factors may have played a role – an out-of-county Realtor, poor quality photos, and the pool deck looked dirty in the photos so maybe it just didn’t present well.
11560 Big Sky Court sold for $510K with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths in 2900 square feet. It has no waterfront and no pool, and the kitchen and bathrooms look a bit dated.
19115 Two River Lane also sold for $510K despite being a much larger home, with 5 beds, 3 baths and 3600 square feet. This one took over 5 months. The lot has a little waterfront but isn’t the best location, and the home may have needed some updating and other TLC.
In a stark difference, the house next door sold for $635K despite having no waterfront. 19107 Two River Lane has 5 beds and 4 baths in just over 4000 square feet. From the photos the house had some upgrades but the bathrooms looked dated.
At the high end, 11742 Watercrest Lane sold for $800K even. This large home has 6 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths in over 4700 square feet on a great lot.
Two other large homes sold for close to $750K. 19101 Stream Side Court sold for $748,000 with 5 beds and 4 baths in 4200 square feet, with a luxurious interior and gorgeous lake views from the backyard and the second floor balcony. Meanwhile 19229 Natures View Court sold for $745K with 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths in nearly 4700 square feet.

Boca Greens Real Estate: $255K to $495K in Early 2017
There have been 12 home sales so far in Boca Greens in 2017, with prices ranging from $255,000 up to $495,000. Despite the bottom number, most transactions were $385K or more.
The low end home is an outlier. 19622 Back Nine Drive sold for only $255K. The 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has less than 1200 square feet. That’s over 500 square feet smaller – and $70K cheaper – than the next largest home in this report. It took nearly a year to sell.
Next on the list, and still well below average, is 10191 Camelback Lane selling for $325K. The 1700 square foot home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and was on the market for 6 months.
Three other homes sold for just under $400K:
- $385K – 10212 Canoe Brook Circle, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2000 square feet
- $390K – 10065 Camelback Lane, 3 beds, 2 baths, 2100 square feet
- $395K – 10448 Milburn Lane, 3 beds, 3 baths, 2700 square feet
There’s another jump to the next group of homes, starting at $440K for 10243 Fresh Meadow Lane. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in 2300 square feet. It’s on a pie-shaped cul de sac lot with a fairly large lake view including an angle on sunset skies. This one sat on the market for over 8 months.
The two most expensive homes in this report each took 5 months to sell. At the top is 10339 Canoe Brook Circle at $495,000 with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in 2500 square feet. The south-facing backyard includes water and golf course views.
Next at $490K, 10152 Canoe Brook Circle has 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in nearly 2900 square feet, which just sold on May 1st.
There were four other transactions over $450K:
- $460K – 20049 Back Nine Drive, 3 beds, 2 baths, 2300 square feet

Only 3 Home Sales So Far in The Shores for 2017
We see only three transactions in The Shores for early 2017, ranging from $462K up to $648K. All three sold quickly, with the longest taking 39 days. The Shores at Boca Raton is on the far west end of Yamato Road, across from the north entrance to South County Regional Park.
At the high end, 11229 Sea Grass Circle sold for $648,000. The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in nearly 3400 square feet under air. It’s on a large lot and a little waterfront though not the best angle for the lake and there’s no pool. There are many upgrades including impact windows. The kitchen is a bit odd, with a large island and little other counter space.
Priced in the middle at $550K was 18584 Harbor Light Way, with 4 bed and 2 1/2 baths in 2800 square feet all on one floor. The house has a mid-lake view and a screened-in pool. There are a number of upgrades in the kitchen and elsewhere, but they may not be to everyone’s taste.
Last and probably least, 11357 Sea Grass Circle sold for much less at only $462,500, with 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in 3000 square feet. The house has good bones and a fairly good location – no waterfront but the back faces park land that will not be developed for a long time if ever. Inside it’s clean but dated and many buyers would do extensive remodeling.
