Boca Raton real estate is comprised of magnificent Mediterranean-Revival style architecture, luxury waterfront estates, oceanfront condos, golf course communities, and gated neighborhoods with both single family residences and townhomes. Homes for sale in Boca Raton range in price from $100,000 for a one bedroom condo to more than $28 million for an expansive, custom estate. Mistakenly referred to as its literal translation “mouth of the rat,” Boca Raton (pronounced rah-tone) actually received its namesake from “Boca de Ratones,” a navigational term referencing a jagged inlet. Originally inhabited by the Tequesta Indians, the coastal terrain was discovered by pioneers and settlers, who cultivated the fertile land for fruit and vegetable crops--specifically pineapples and green beans. With the inception of the railroad, Boca Raton quickly became a popular place for entrepreneurs and seasonal residents. Officially incorporated in 1925, the Town of Boca Raton transformed from an agriculture farmland to a premier resort destination. Commissioned by city council, notorious architect Addison Mizner began designing landmark structures such as the Boca Raton Resort and Club, formerly known as the Cloister Inn, and the Boca Raton Historical Society and Museum, formerly the Town Hall.
