Home Styles and Price Context
Delray Beach single-family homes typically list between $500,000 and $1.2 million, while beachfront and Intracoastal properties regularly exceed $3 million. Mediterranean-style stucco homes with barrel-tile roofs dominate newer subdivisions built after 2000. Older neighborhoods near downtown feature 1950s and 1960s ranch and bungalow homes averaging 1,300 to 1,900 square feet on quarter-acre lots. Coastal construction east of the Intracoastal follows Florida high-wind building codes.
