Overview

About Mission Bay

Mission Bay is an unincorporated place west of Boca Raton, counted as its own census-designated place in the 2000 census. It carries a Boca Raton mailing address but sits outside the city.

The county roll counts about 842 houses across the Mission Bay plats and the neighborhoods recorded within it, including Harbour Springs at Mission Bay and Sonata at Mission Bay. Most were built between 1988 and 1995; the median house has about 2,150 square feet of living area.

The community also takes in Mission Bay Plaza, a corporate park and a tennis academy parcel on its own plats. It spans the 33428 and 33498 ZIPs near State Road 7.

Because it is unincorporated, Palm Beach County, not the City of Boca Raton, sets the taxes, permits and most services. Each neighborhood may have its own association; we confirm which apply to a specific home.
