Seacrest borders with the intracoastal and is just minutes away from the beach.
A charming suburban enclave surrounded by water
Sandwiched between the Intracoastal Waterway and lakes Ida and Eden is Seacrest, a laid-back neighborhood often described as having lots of "Florida charm." Unlike much of Palm Beah County, this suburban enclave has managed to avoid mass development, leaving it with hundreds of original custom houses with terrazzo floors and traditional architectural elements. And with a location near popular waterways and downtown Delray Beach, this little community offers the perfect launching pad for outdoor adventures and shopping trips.
Community parks flank Lake Ida
For some, outdoor recreation here is as close as the backyard dock that juts out into the Intracoastal or Lake Ida. But for the landlubbers, Lake Ida is flanked by three parks that provide easy access to boat launches, fishing piers, scenic picnic spots and a designated dog park. "If you have a canoe, you can actually connect to all three lakes (Ida, Eden, and Osborne) using the canal," says local Realtor Michelle Sadownick with Realty Home Advisors. The neighborhood is also home to the AC Delray Seacrest Soccer Complex, a public sports club where kids and adults often play in rec and competitive leagues. The neighborhood is also less than 1 mile from the Seacrest Scrub Natural Area, a 54-acre wilderness park largely untouched by the surrounding urban development. And across the Intracoastal Waterway is Gulf Stream Golf Club, an exclusive private club with an 18-hole course designed by renowned golf course architect Donald Ross.

Charming homes on waterfront properties
The most popular architectural styles here are ranches, bungalows, and Spanish Mission homes, though there are a few new modern and custom builds. Properties in Seacrest are generally priced higher than other areas in Delray Beach. Still, Sadownick, who has been selling in the Delray Beach area since 2004, says, "As you go north, you're going away from Atlantic Avenue, and the prices go down a little bit." Small to mid-sized homes here start around $550,000, but prices can rise quickly, surpassing $1.8 million, while larger three-to-five-bedroom Spanish Mission and custom coastal contemporary homes often sell for between $1 million and $3 million. There are also some custom estates here, which can go for more than $7 million. Many homes are on oversized lots that max out around half an acre, and because the community is bordered by water to the east and the west, there are plenty of opportunities for waterfront living. In fact, most of the condos and townhouses here sit along the Intracoastal Waterway. Small two- and three-bedrooms condos built in the late 20th and early 21st centuries offer more an affordable price point, selling for between $430,000 and $690,000, while large renovated or newly built luxury units start around $900,000 and can easily surpass $3.3 million.
Many large single family homes can be found on the Intracoastal side of Seacrest.

Shopping, dining along U.S. Route 1
Most dining and shopping options are found along U.S. Route 1, a major commuter thoroughfare that runs through the neighborhood. Two popular options for groceries and daily essentials are Publix and Walmart, which sit just outside the community. When it comes to fresh fish, Captain Clay and Sons Seafood Market has been the go-to since 2007. It's run by Captain Clay S. Brand , a native Floridian and 40-year commercial fisherman. There are also several beloved eateries along the main drag, including Sande's Restaurant, an old-school cash-only American diner known for its breakfast dishes. Another mainstay eatery is Bees Knees Diner, which specializes in breakfast and brunch cuisine. For something a bit hardier, Enigma Bistro is an award-winning roadhouse known for its traditional Cuban dishes and "fall off the porch" sangria. Even more options await in Delray Beach's downtown entertainment district, about 3 miles away.

Plumosa School of the Arts is in the center of the neighborhood
The neighborhood is served by the Palm Beach County Public School District, which includes Plumosa School of the Arts, a specialized kindergarten through eighth-grade institution in the heart of the community. Plumosa divides students into discipline-specific "houses," like the Haus of Chopin for keyboard and piano, the Haus of Aasir for dance, and the Haus of Kroma for visual and digital arts. Niche graded it a B-minus. Alternatively, students can attend Carver Community Middle School, graded a C-plus on Niche. For high school, many students attend Atlantic Community High School, graded a B-plus. The neighborhood also has two well-rated private Christian schools: Unity School and St. Vincent Ferrer School.
