HOA Communities in Hillsboro Beach, Florida

Hillsboro Beach, Florida, is a small, upscale coastal town in Broward County, located on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Spanning roughly 3‐miles along State Road A1A, its prized “Hillsboro Mile” is famous for mansions, oceanfront condos, and direct ocean access.

Incorporated in 1939, Hillsboro Beach remained largely undeveloped until after World War II. Early pioneers transformed the area from undeveloped barrier land into a residential community noted for its exclusivity. A landmark feature, the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, was built in 1907 to aid maritime navigation, and remains an iconic symbol of the town.

With under 2,000 year-round residents and a median age in the mid-60s, Hillsboro Beach is oriented toward retirees and second-home residents. The median household income is high (around $95,000-$100,000+) and property values are among the highest in the county, especially along the oceanfront.

Today, Hillsboro Beach is almost entirely residential—with luxury single-family homes, condos, private estates, and virtually no commercial zones. Its pristine beaches, protected sea turtle nesting sites, the historic lighthouse, and limited public access help preserve its quiet, exclusive character.
