Bathroom remodel in Boca Raton, FL.

The houses themselves are a country-club era story: more than half the city was built in the 1970s and 80s (Census ACS 2024), when Arvida was laying out Boca West and the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club neighborhoods, and about a third of all units are in buildings of 20 or more.

• East Boca: Old Floresta, the city's first historic district, with Mizner-era 1920s homes; Boca Square and Boca Villas, older subdivisions where the city is replacing water, sewer and stormwater pipes under its iSIP program.
• West Boca: Boca West's 1970s and 80s villages, Century Village's 1979 55-plus condos, Long Lake Estates' acre lots.
• Smallest households of any city I work in, 2.26 people, and the oldest: nearly a quarter of residents are 65 or over. The accessible bathroom is a daily request here.
• Water hardness is published: 3.8 to 4.7 grains, harder than most of Broward, which argues for a squeegee on every frameless door.

The city's improved CRS class raised the flood-insurance discount from 15 to 25 percent in October 2025 for policies in all zones. For a bathroom remodel the practical effect is the 50 percent substantial-improvement rule, which the city checks against cumulative work and the building's value; if you're renovating the whole house in stages, the floodplain manager at 561-393-7845 can tell you where you stand.

If you're in Boca Square, Boca Villas, Lake Floresta or Old Floresta, the city's iSIP program is replacing underground water, sewer and stormwater lines chosen by pipe material, age and failure risk, with a $20 million bid covering the Floresta neighborhoods in 2026. It's good news for a bathroom: the city is fixing the main under the street, and the plumber only has to worry about the line from your house to it. I'll check whether your street is in a phase before we schedule a drain change.
