Private Beach Access
In PBC, private beach access for a 55+ community is extraordinarily rare. Most communities are inland. Seagate of Highland solved this by building on the Intracoastal in Highland Beach, where the barrier island is narrow enough that the beach is a short walk or shuttle ride away. The private beach access is a lifestyle amenity that cannot be replicated at any price in an inland community.
Ten-Story Building Considerations
Four ten-story buildings from the 1970s–1980s are squarely in SB 4-D territory. High-rise buildings face the most intensive milestone inspection requirements and the largest potential reserve shortfalls. The structural engineering costs, elevator maintenance, and exterior restoration on ten-story buildings are significantly higher than on two-story condos. The reserve fund diligence here is critical.
Highland Beach Premium
Highland Beach is one of the most exclusive communities in PBC. The zip code carries prestige and the town provides its own police, fire, and municipal services. Property taxes reflect Highland Beach millage. The combination of location, private beach, and 55+ restriction makes this a genuinely unique option in the county.
