Kevin James spent more than a decade on the oceanfront in Delray Beach, buying and selling two big estates there. In March 2026 he moved a few miles south to a golf course home in Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in Boca Raton. Here is what public reporting says about each home and what the neighbors pay.
Where does Kevin James live? In Boca Raton, in Palm Beach County, where the actor bought a golf course estate in Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in March 2026. Before that he spent more than a decade a few miles north in Delray Beach, on the ocean. He bought and sold two large estates there, and one of them sold at a loss. Here is what public reporting says about each home, why he keeps choosing this stretch of coast, and what homes near him cost today.
Key takeaways
- Boca Raton, Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club. James bought a six-bedroom home in the club in March 2026, per Robb Report. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses.
- Reported price: $17.15 million. Robb Report put the deal at $17.15 million; other outlets rounded it to $17 million.
- More than 8,600 square feet with five balconies, a wine room, a gym, a catering kitchen and a four-car garage with a golf cart bay.
- Two Delray Beach estates came first. He sold a 26,000-square-foot oceanfront home for about $26.4 million in 2016 and a newer one for $12.67 million in 2023.
Where does Kevin James live in Florida?
James grew up on Long Island and made his name on The King of Queens. But since 2012 his main Florida base has moved between two neighboring cities on the Palm Beach County coast. First came Delray Beach, a beach town with a busy downtown along Atlantic Avenue. Then, in 2026, he moved to Boca Raton, the larger city just to the south.
His new home sits inside Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club. The club dates to the late 1950s and sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Boca Raton Resort. It has a Jack Nicklaus-redesigned golf course, a marina and a gate. Homes there range from older ranch houses to new builds that sell for well over $10 million. So it is one of the few places in the county where a golf lot and a deepwater dock can share the same street.
Reporting on the purchase came from Robb Report in March 2026. The article said James bought the house for $17.15 million and that his agent was Jason Matouk of Douglas Elliman. The seller's agent was Jackie Feldman of ONE Sotheby's International Realty. No outlet has published a reason for the move, though the timing fits: he had sold his last Delray Beach home in 2023 and had been without a reported Florida house for almost three years.
Inside the reported Boca Raton estate
Robb Report described a home of more than 8,600 square feet with six bedrooms and eight and a half bathrooms. Interior designer Arianna Tascione handled the finishes. The house has walls of glass, five balconies and several terraces that look over the golf course.
The list of extras is long. There is a climate-controlled wine room, a sculptural bar, a separate catering kitchen and a private gym with an infrared sauna. An office has a club-style lounge. There are two laundry rooms and a four-car garage with a bay for a golf cart. A Control4 system runs the lights, audio, security and motorized shades. Yahoo and AOL, which carried the Robb Report story, gave the same figures.
One number did not match across outlets. Robb Report and Realtor.com put the price at $17.15 million. A trade site, Elite Agent, ran a headline saying $26 million, which appears to confuse the new purchase with his 2016 Delray Beach sale. We treat $17.15 million as the reported figure.
The two Delray Beach homes he sold
The Boca Raton house is his third big Florida purchase. His first was an oceanfront estate in Delray Beach that he and his wife, Steffiana de la Cruz, bought in 2012. The Real Deal reported the price as $18.85 million, while AOL said $18.5 million. Either way, it was a large sum for Delray at the time.
That home was huge. The Real Deal described a Mediterranean-style house of about 26,000 square feet with eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms on 2.8 acres of beachfront. It had seven fireplaces, a 10-car garage, gardens and covered loggias. The couple listed it in February 2016 at $28.85 million. It sold that summer for about $26.4 million, per Fox News and The Real Deal, which is a gain of roughly $7.5 million before costs.
The second Delray purchase did not go as well. In 2021 he paid $14 million for a newer oceanfront house of about 11,500 square feet, with six bedrooms and 10 baths, completed in 2020. He listed it a year later for close to $20 million. After almost a year on the market it sold in 2023 for $12.67 million, per SFGate and Realtor.com. That is a loss of about $1.3 million before commissions and carrying costs.
Why Kevin James chose Boca Raton
James has not given interviews about the move, so any reason is a reading of the record rather than a quote. Still, the pattern is clear. Over 14 years he has bought three homes within a 10-mile stretch of the same coast. He knows the area, and the area knows him. He performs stand-up in South Florida often, and his family has spent much of each year here since 2012.
The switch from oceanfront to golf course is also worth noting. His two Delray homes both faced the Atlantic. The Boca Raton house faces a fairway inside a gated club, a few blocks from the water rather than on it. Owners often make that trade for privacy and lower exposure to storms and salt air. Whatever the reason, the market he entered is one of the strongest in the county. New construction in Royal Palm has sold above $20 million in recent years, according to The Real Deal.
Where else does Kevin James live?
His other reported home is in Old Westbury, on the North Shore of Long Island. Robb Report called it a sprawling estate. James was born in Mineola and raised in Stony Brook, so the New York house keeps him near family and the comedy clubs where he started.
He also owned a home in Encino, in Los Angeles, during his sitcom years. NBC News and AOL reported that he listed it in 2013 for $5.49 million. That was around the time he bought the first Delray Beach estate, which suggests Florida took over from California as his warm-weather base. Public reporting does not say which of his current homes he treats as primary, so we do not guess.
What homes near Kevin James cost
Boca Raton is a big market with a wide price spread. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 2,100 active listings in Boca Raton, with a median list price near $550,000 and an average of about 109 days on market. That median covers condos and older inland homes. Inside Royal Palm the floor is far higher, and most new builds list well above $10 million.
Next door, Delray Beach has about 1,860 active listings with a median near $279,000 and an average of 115 days on market. Again, the oceanfront is a separate world. Homes on the sand there, like the two James owned, trade from about $10 million up.
Buyers who want the Royal Palm mix of golf and water have a few other options across Palm Beach County. Our golf and country club hub lists them, and the waterfront homes hub covers the Intracoastal and oceanfront side of the market.
