Overview

About Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club

Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club was Arvida’s first big project in Boca Raton. Arthur Vining Davis formed Arvida in 1958, and the community replaced the polo fields near the Boca Raton Hotel; the county history account calls it the first planned unit development in Boca Raton and the first in the nation to bury its utilities.

The county roll counts about 651 houses. The oldest date to 1959, but most of the community has been rebuilt: the median house dates to 2003, and more than four in ten were built since 2000. The typical home has about 5,850 square feet of living area on a lot of about a third of an acre.

It was recorded as Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club Subdivision, starting at PB 26, page 57. Every street is named for a palm: Royal, Thatch, Sabal, Maya, Alexander, Coconut, Silver, Queen.

It sits in the 33432 ZIP, east of Federal Highway and south of downtown, with the Intracoastal on its east side. Mizner Park and the beaches on State Road A1A are a short drive.
