3200 South Ocean

3200 South Ocean is a boutique oceanfront condominium on Highland Beach’s barrier island, and its defining characteristic is scale: a single tower of 8 floors holding just 20 residences, completed in 2017. 20 homes across 8 floors works out to roughly two or three per floor, and that ratio shapes how the whole building lives — a small, settled owner community rather than the constant turnover of a large complex.

The amenity set is compact but complete. Residents have private beach access on the Atlantic side, a pool and sun deck, a fitness centre, a residents’ lounge with a full kitchen, a conference room, and garage parking. Security is manned twenty-four hours and supported by video surveillance throughout. Residents also hold access to the Seagate Country Club, which extends dining and club facilities well beyond what a twenty-unit building could carry on its own.

Monthly HOA dues reflect that service level and the small number of homes sharing the building’s fixed costs. They cover insurance, water, sewer, elevator maintenance, grounds and structural maintenance, pest control, security, trash, the recreation facility and common areas — the current average and its range are shown in the HOA panel below. Pets are permitted, subject to a limit on the number.

Closed-sale activity here is thin by design. With only twenty residences, whole years pass with a single transaction or none at all, so the annual medians charted below are better read as individual data points than as a trend line. Buyers drawn to 3200 South Ocean are typically after a newer oceanfront building and a small owner community rather than the amenity breadth of a large tower — with downtown Delray Beach a short drive north, and Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, Red Reef Park and Spanish River Park close by to the south.
