Boca West vs. St. Andrews Country Club: A Buyer’s Guide to Boca Raton’s Private Club Real Estate
For buyers who value privacy, service, and a year-round social calendar, Boca Raton’s legacy club communities remain a distinct category of South Florida real estate. Boca West Country Club and St. Andrews Country Club sit at the top of that conversation, but they deliver luxury through different structures: one defined by scale and “village” variety, the other by a more concentrated, single-family-only environment. This MILLION Luxury guide focuses on the pieces that materially affect ownership and daily life: the physical footprint of each community, the golf and racquet ecosystems, what is publicly disclosed about dues and governance, and how to think about real estate optionality when your home is paired with a private-club lifestyle.

Stone Creek Ranch, Delray Beach: Inside South Florida’s Most Discreet Estate Enclave
With only 37 custom homesites across roughly 187 acres, Stone Creek Ranch has become a modern reference point for privacy, acreage, and architectural freedom in coastal Palm Beach County. This guard-gated Delray Beach community, just north of Clint Moore Road near the Boca Raton border, trades the country-club playbook for a landscape-first master plan of lakes, preserved greenbelt, and a walkable loop trail. For buyers weighing a true “compound” lifestyle against lock-and-leave luxury along the Intracoastal, its scarcity and scale are the story.
Palm Beach County’s Lock-and-Leave Luxury Condo Era
Palm Beach County’s luxury conversation is increasingly less about acreage and more about orchestration. For many high-net-worth owners, the most valuable amenity is not an extra room, but the ability to arrive, live beautifully, and depart without coordinating a small army of vendors. Staffed lobbies, managed security, and building-led maintenance have repositioned the luxury condo as an operational upgrade, not a lifestyle compromise. As wealth migration continues to shape South Florida, and as governance and building standards draw sharper scrutiny, buyers are leaning into a more service-forward model of ownership. From West Palm Beach’s Flagler Drive momentum to Boca Raton’s amenity-rich new construction, the lock-and-leave thesis is becoming one of the region’s most durable luxury narratives.
