Villa Borghese Homes for Sale & Real Estate Listings

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of homes are in Villa Borghese?

Villa Borghese is made up of single-family villas built in the Mediterranean style, most of them one story with two or three bedrooms, a two-car garage, and a screened lanai. The homes date to the late 1990s and early 2000s, so buyers usually choose between updated, move-in-ready villas and ones priced to refresh.

Is Villa Borghese a 55 and over community?

Yes. Villa Borghese is age-restricted, so at least one resident of each home must be 55 or older, and the community follows standard active-adult occupancy rules. Confirm the current age policy, leasing limits, and pet rules for the specific home you are considering before you write an offer.

What do the HOA dues cover?

Dues in an active-adult community like Villa Borghese typically fund the gate, lawn care, common-area landscaping, and shared amenities, which keeps the day-to-day upkeep predictable. Confirm the exact dues amount and what is included, since it affects your monthly cost as much as the mortgage does.

Where is Villa Borghese located in Delray Beach?

Villa Borghese sits in west Delray Beach, off Atlantic Avenue and near Florida's Turnpike, which makes it easy to reach shopping, medical offices, and the dining along downtown Atlantic Avenue. The Atlantic beaches are a drive east, and west Boca Raton is just to the south.

How much do homes in Villa Borghese cost?

Villa Borghese homes generally trade in the middle-to-upper hundreds of thousands, which is competitive for a gated 55 and over community in Delray Beach. Because turnover is limited, pricing depends heavily on the specific villa, its updates, and its location within the community. The live listings on this page show what is available now.

Is Villa Borghese a gated community?

Yes. Villa Borghese is a gated community with controlled access at the entrance.

Homes for sale in Villa Borghese give active adults a gated, single-story option in west Delray Beach at a price that stays competitive for the area. Villa Borghese is an age-restricted community of Mediterranean-style villas, built for easy one-level living behind a controlled entry. For buyers who want a low-maintenance home in a 55 and over setting without paying a coastal premium, it is a practical fit.

The housing here is consistent in character. Most homes are single-family villas of two or three bedrooms, one story, with attached two-car garages, tile roofs, and screened lanais that suit the Florida climate. They date largely to the late 1990s and early 2000s, so the inventory runs from villas that have been fully updated to ones that are sound but ready for a kitchen or bath refresh. That range lets a buyer choose between turnkey and value.

As an active-adult community, Villa Borghese is organized around low-maintenance living. Communities of this type in west Delray usually center on a clubhouse and pool with social activities, and the homeowners association handles lawn care and common-area upkeep so residents can lock and leave. Confirm the specific amenities, the dues, and the age and leasing rules for Villa Borghese directly, since these details shape both the lifestyle and the monthly cost.

The location is one of the community's strengths. West Delray Beach puts you near Atlantic Avenue and Florida's Turnpike, with grocery, retail, and medical services close by and the restaurants and galleries of downtown Delray a short drive east. The Atlantic beaches are within reach for a day out, and west Boca Raton sits just to the south, so you stay connected to the wider South Florida area without the congestion of living right on the coast.

On the practical side, budget for Florida homeowners insurance and ask early about the roof's age, impact-rated windows or shutters, and wind-mitigation features, since those affect both insurability and the premium you will pay on a home of this vintage. A west Delray address is generally away from the highest-risk coastal zones, but confirm the flood-zone status for the exact villa rather than assuming. Weigh the HOA dues against what they actually cover as you compare homes.

Villa Borghese suits active retirees, snowbirds, and downsizers who want a right-sized, single-story home in a gated 55 and over community with a known monthly cost. Because inventory is limited, the best way to find the right villa is to watch the market and move when one that fits comes up. Contact Pure Equity Realty to see current Villa Borghese listings, set up alerts for new ones, and get an honest read on value in the community.

Market & Value

Villa Borghese market and home values

The Villa Borghese real estate market reads best through the community's own recent activity, not a county-wide average. Because inventory turns over as homes list and close, the most reliable read on Villa Borghese is the set of most recent comparable sales inside the community rather than a single posted figure. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within Villa Borghese carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity Realty can pull the active and recently sold homes in Villa Borghese so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.

As an age-restricted community, Villa Borghese fits active adults, downsizers, and seasonal residents who want a lock-and-leave home and a full social calendar. At least one resident usually needs to meet the age requirement, so confirm the specific age rule and any younger-spouse provision before you buy.

Buying in Villa Borghese

Buying a home in Villa Borghese

The buying process in Villa Borghese is the one used across Palm Beach County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Ask for the association's governing documents, budget, and reserve study before you write an offer. Association fees, any club or membership costs, and rules on rentals, pets, and leasing vary by community and materially affect the true cost of ownership. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Palm Beach County is about $3,600. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Delray Beach means you see new listings in Villa Borghese the day they reach the market.

Selling in Villa Borghese

Selling a home in Villa Borghese

Selling a home in Villa Borghese starts with pricing it correctly for current conditions. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Buyers in an association community also want to see the HOA or condo docs, the reserve study, and any pending or special assessments up front, so having those ready before you list avoids delays once you are under contract. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for Villa Borghese owners in Delray Beach, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
