Overview

About Villas on the Ocean

Villas on the Ocean is one of the older buildings on Singer Island’s ocean side: 54 apartments at 3600 North Ocean Drive, dated 1962 on the county roll. It is a co-operative, not a condominium, so buyers purchase shares in the corporation and a proprietary lease rather than a deeded unit.

The county roll records it under The Villas on the Ocean No. 1, Inc. with a co-operative use code. The apartments are compact: most run from about 420 to about 870 square feet, with a typical one near 620.

In a co-operative the board approves each purchaser, and the corporation’s rules on leasing, financing and pets apply to every apartment. We confirm the approval process, the proprietary lease and the corporation’s finances for a specific apartment.

It sits in the City of Riviera Beach beside Villa Towers at 3640, with Ocean Tree at 3400 to the south and Resort at Singer Island and Ocean Reef Park a little to the north.
