Bel Marra
Waterfront Living in East Boca Raton
Tucked along the Intracoastal waterways of East Boca Raton, Bel-Marra is a prestigious and established single-family home community known for its deep-water dockage, luxury lifestyle, and unbeatable location. Developed primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, this non-HOA neighborhood blends original charm with modern rebuilds and custom estates.
Bel-Marra is home to 185 single-family residences. Of those, 149 homes are waterfront, offering private docks and no fixed bridges to the ocean—a rare find for boaters and waterfront enthusiasts. The remaining 36 homes sit on interior (dry) lots, providing the same upscale neighborhood appeal without direct water access, often at a more approachable price point.
Lot sizes generally range from 8,000 to over 12,000 square feet, giving plenty of space for private pools, tropical landscaping, and outdoor entertaining. With no HOA, homeowners enjoy more flexibility when it comes to design and use of their property.
Whether you’re looking for a turn-key waterfront estate or a dry-lot home with room to make it your own, Bel-Marra offers a unique slice of East Boca luxury living just minutes from the beach, Mizner Park, and top-rated schools.
