Life in Highland Beach
Highland Beach's “main drag” is a gorgeous tree-lined stretch of Florida’s historic state road A1A. If you are looking to move to a town that’s jam packed with strip centers, fast food joints, and the busy hustle and bustle of big-city living, Highland Beach real estate is not for you. If, however, you’d like to live in a town whose main thoroughfare is dotted with a peaceful public library and expansive parks as opposed to big box stores and chain restaurants, take Highland Beach real estate could be precisely what you’ve been looking for.
Highland Beach’s calm and uncluttered landscape does not mean you’ll be missing out on dining, shopping, and entertainment options galore. Highland Beach is conveniently located just a few minutes from the larger cities of Delray Beach and Boca Raton. Simply hop in your car or hop on your bike and you can quickly be in the midst of all the world-class shopping, dining and entertainment you could want.
So who lives in all of those stunning Highland Beach homes? The city currently has about 4,150 year-round residents, 80% of whom are retired and 20% of whom are employed locally. During the winter months, as is the case with most of South Florida’s most picturesque communities, Highland Beach real estate is packed with seasonal visitors. The town’s population increases to almost 8,500 residents in winter. That’s right, the population doubles in winter! Many of these snowbirds come from New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania to escape bitterly cold winters. We welcome these seasonal visitors with open arms! After all, we can't blame them for wanting to spend the winter shoveling sand to build sand castles rather than shoveling snow simply to make it to the mailbox!
Annual Events to Look Forward to in Highland Beach
Each Saturday morning from October through May, residents slowly but surely emerge from their cozy Highland Beach homes and make their ways to either the Delray Beach or Boca Raton Farmer’s Market. Both of these classic markets feature locally-grown fruits and vegetables, plants and flowers, farm-fresh eggs, and handmade crafts and unique products from dozens of local farmers, growers, and artisans. If one of the must-have items you’re looking for as your peruse Highland Beach homes for sale includes a gourmet chef’s kitchen, you’ll love these popular farmer’s markets. Farm-to-table in these parts isn’t just a catch phrase. For many local restaurants and home chefs, it’s a way of life.
Another much anticipated event is the annual Delray Beach Garlic Festival held each February, the Delray Affair in April, and numerous seasonal dining, cultural arts, and live music events throughout the year. Taste Makers, Savor the Avenue, and the immensely popular Seafood and Wine Festival are just a few.
Also in February, Highland Beach residents who love golf love to head over to nearby Boca Raton to experience the Allianz Championship and Pro-Am events at the Old Course at Broken Sound. You can watch golf legends tee up and you yourself can be a part of the action by participating in events such as putting contests or golf clinics.
These are just a handful of the many special events you’ll come to look forward to when you buy Highland Beach real estate and make this pleasant community your year-round or seasonal home.

Residents of those that aren’t can enjoy the town library’s large reading rotunda which is tastefully appointed with comfortable leather chairs, two screened porches that face the Intracoastal Waterway and its calming breezes, public computers with Internet access and much more.
If you’re looking for a more active pursuit, jogging, walking, and cycling are popular here. Many Highland Beach homes are moments away from paved walkways and bike paths along A1A. Bicyclist enthusiasts can be seen zipping up and down A1A through Highland Beach from sunrise to sunset.
