Overview

About The Estuary

The Estuary is a community of 104 townhomes on the Intracoastal in north Delray Beach, built from 2001 to 2004 on two recorded plats, The Estuary and Estuary 2.

The townhomes are larger than most attached homes in the city: most have about 2,600 to 3,200 square feet of living area on the county roll, on lots of about 3,200 to 5,800 square feet. Eighty-three sit on Estuary Trail and the rest on Estuary Way.

Community descriptions mention lakes, a pool and cabana, and a pier on the Intracoastal. We confirm what the association owns and maintains for a specific home.

The Estuary is inside the City of Delray Beach, next door to Kokomo Key. Downtown and the beach are a short drive south.
