Waterfront enclave offering the best of both worlds

The Cove's name may paint the picture of a sheltered bay somewhere hidden away, but this little waterfront enclave in Deerfield Beach is so convenient that it encourages those who live here to explore the region by land and sea. The neighborhood has direct access to the Intracoastal waterways, which makes it a popular destination for boaters. Private docks are available on the limited waterfront lots, but all homeowners can enjoy the quiet streets and mature Florida landscaping without worrying about HOA fees. Shopping, dining and sandy beaches are all within walking distance, and the vibrant commercial centers of Boca Raton are under 7 miles away. "You really do get the best of both worlds,” says Tinka Ellington, executive director of luxury sales with Douglas Elliman. “There’s a hometown feeling in the midst of all these modern cities nearby, and you can enjoy pretty much anything.”

Within walking distance to the beach

Residents in The Cove live a recreation-oriented lifestyle. Boating and fishing are common throughout the area, while places like Bolo Sport Fishing offer private charters for those looking to cast a line in the open waters of the nearby Gulf of Mexico. Sullivan Park sits in the neighborhood and features kid-friendly amenities, including a playground and splash pad. The park is part of the Freedom Boat Club, which offers members access to well-maintained boats of their choice. Deerfield Beach is a mile away and is a popular spot for residents to enjoy a day on the water. Visitors can catch some rays or head to the 976-foot Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier. “The best part about The Cove is that it's within walking distance to the beach,” Ellington says. Golfers flock to the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club for 18 holes on a Jack Nicklaus redesigned course.

Ranch-style houses and renovated builds

Construction on the neighborhood began in the 1950s and 60s with colorful ranch-style houses on tree-lined streets. While many original builds remain, remodeling and renovations have been widespread. Updated builds feature Spanish-Revival architecture with red-tiled roofs and stucco exteriors. Midcentury-moderns are another popular style. Most lots have well-manicured front lawns and swimming pools in the backyard, offering a great spot to beat the heat. Waterfront properties are available on the neighborhood's eastern side and come with private boat docks, making certain houses attractive to boaters. High-rise condos with bayside views provide a multifamily option and begin pricing at $475,000. Older landlocked builds sell for $650,000, while larger waterfront estates top $7.5 million. Flooding is a concern due to the neighborhood’s location along the Intracoastal Waterway. The area is prone to hurricanes, but updated construction codes have provided some protection against water damage. Broward County provides flood information resources and recommends homeowners purchase a flood insurance policy.
