Ocean Ridge Homes for Sale | Delray Beach, FL Real Estate

Ocean Ridge is a serene and refined coastal gem perched between Boynton Beach and Delray Beach along Florida’s picturesque A1A corridor. Incorporated in 1939, this intimate town spans just under one square mile of land and water—yet boasts a scenic tapestry of white-sand beaches, Intracoastal waterways, and verdant hammock preserves. With around 1,830 full-time residents—and a sizable seasonal population—Ocean Ridge strikes a perfect balance between quiet luxury and active coastal living .

Homes here range from prized oceanfront estates and Intracoastal deep-water properties with private docks, to elegant low-density condos and charming historic residences. Architectural styles run the gamut: think Mediterranean Revival, classic ranch, coastal contemporary, and Spanish Colonial, with no two residences alike and every home just a stone’s throw—at most a few hundred yards—from sun, sea, or shimmering waterways .

Ocean Ridge is respected for its steadfast commitment to quiet, residential integrity—no commercial zones intrude here, and the town’s strict building codes and tight-knit community preserve its peaceful ambiance. Outdoor enthusiasts delight in the wide range of leisure options: morning beach walks, estuary paddles through the Ocean Ridge Natural Area, saltwater fishing at the inlet, or casual strolls down Ocean Boulevard under towering palms.

Buyers appreciate Ocean Ridge’s premium location—equidistant from luxury shopping and dining in Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach, and under 15 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport. The community draws affluent families, retirees, and professionals—many of whom telecommute—who value both coastal beauty and small-town camaraderie. Ocean Ridge scores high on livability, thanks to its top-tier environmental setting, rich outdoor culture, and strong demographic profile—per capita incomes well above county averages and a highly educated populace .

Whether you're in the market for a beachfront palace, a dockside entertainer’s dream, or a low-density condo with pulse-access to Finger food along Boynton Harbor Marina, Ocean Ridge presents a rare combination of privacy, refinement, and coastal access. It remains one of Palm Beach County’s best-kept secrets—a highly desirable, understated address with all the benefits of Gold Coast living.
