About Delray Beach
Delray Beach, known as the “Village by the Sea,” is one of the most desirable locations to buy a house or condo in Florida. Midway between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, this sophisticated beach town is teeming with remarkable amenities, restaurants, art galleries, beachside cafés, shopping, up-to-date workout, training and fitness centers, water experiences and more.
Best-known for Atlantic Avenue with its mix of trendy shops, restaurants, galleries, beach and artsy areas, there is always something going on in Downtown Delray Beach. Don’t be surprised to find the Avenue shut down for one large dinner or tennis on the Avenue. It’s happened!
The city is home to waterfront condos and homes, downtown condos, townhouses and homes, gated communities, established neighborhoods with tree-lined streets, pet-friendly condos, luxury estates, villas, townhomes, single-family homes and more across the entire architectural spectrum.
Delray Beach is known for its gated communities, which are generally concentrated in central Delray and West Delray. There are a variety of options to choose from – all-age communities, 55+ gated communities and luxury upscale gated communities, country clubs and condos (including pet-friendly).
Some people prefer quiet, gated communities for everyday living while being just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of downtown Delray Beach. Others prefer living in Downtown Delray Beach or on the ocean. There are single-family houses (many from the 1950s), waterfront condos, townhouses, lofts and multi-million-dollar homes on the ocean, on the Intracoastal Waterway and on finger canals, many with private docks. Many homes here are within walking distance of Atlantic Avenue, an especially big draw.
Some of the most popular and sought-after downtown areas are Seagate, Vista Del Mar, Marina District, Palm Trail, Historic District, Pineapple Grove and Lake Ida.
Delray Beach is home to many condos, on and off the water. Some are oceanfront; others are on the Intracoastal and some are inland. Several new buildings have gone up in the past few years within walking distance of shopping downtown, nightlife, restaurants, Starbucks and more.

Delray Beach has many waterfront houses with docks along the Intracoastal and on finger canals. These are single-family homes on a street versus those in a gated community with many having private docks. This is a big plus for boaters looking for a single-family house who may not want to be in a gated community (and who may not want to pay monthly fees associated with docking a boat).
You’ll also find communities that allow you to rent a dock if your house or condo is not on the water. You can buy a condo, townhouse or house and not be on the water yet still enjoy boating. This has advantages for some, as they tend to be less pricey than those directly on deep water.

Dining, Shopping, and Entertainment in Delray Beach
Atlantic Avenue, Delray Marketplace, Tuscany Shoppes, Delray Place and Pineapple Grove are all great shopping destinations with hair salons, food stores, Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market, health food stores, juice bars, workout centers and, of course, the beach.
Atlantic Avenue is more mixed-use, as there are condos, townhouses and homes interspersed with stores that are directly by the Atlantic Ocean. Delray Marketplace, Delray Place, Pineapple Grove and Tuscany Shoppes are outdoor shopping plazas.
Town Center, a short drive from Delray, is the real deal as far as malls are concerned with anchor stores like Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Saks, Nordstrom and Macy’s, along with more than 200 other stores.
Downtown, you’ll enjoy outdoor concerts, green markets, festivals and more. Many events cycle through during the year, including Savor the Avenue, the Delray Affair, First Friday Art Walk and themed holiday events. The downtown area is also home to the Colony Hotel, Delray Beach Tennis Center, Old School Square and the Spady Museum. Delray is also home to the Morikami Museum.
One of the most unique – and well-loved – features in Delray Beach is the fact that the city allows golf carts to operate on the streets. We even have a point-to-point golf cart free live service available.
Delray Beach History
Henry Flagler extended his Florida East Coast Railroad in 1896 southward from West Palm Beach to Miami with a stop at Linton. The history of Delray goes back to the Linton Settlers, who established a post office and a store and began truck farming winter vegetables for the northern market. After a bad freeze in 1898, many settlers left. In an attempt to change the community’s respectability, the name was changed to Delray in 1901. Linton Boulevard still remains today.
Settlers began arriving from The Bahamas and were joined in parades, movies and shopping by settlers from the Yamato farming colony. According to the Delray Beach Historical Society, “Although small, Delray was a fully formed town interested in education and cultural pursuits. Dramatic performances, music clubs, and bands were popular from the beginning.” Seasonal visitors came to Delray. During the 1920s and for many years after, artists and authors came to Delray. This continues today and is reflected in Pineapple Square and Arts Garage, among other places.

Client Reviews
Elyse was instrumental in showing me property at Delray Trails and yesterday I closed!
Elyse was instrumental in showing me property at Delray Trails and yesterday I closed! Elyse is helpful with providing information about the area and different services that are needed. She was there for me every step of the way. I highly recommend Elyse!
I was tasked with selling my mom’s Florida condo
I was tasked with selling my mom’s Florida condo. Living in the Northeast, I was a bit concerned and stressed out about how I was going to sell this condo living so far away. Someone recommended Elyse Berman and I couldn’t be happier with this recommendation. Elyse was great. She was informative, attentive and reliable. She also went above and beyond the call of duty with certain quirky things that came up that she handled. Bottom line, Elyse was able to sell my mom’s condo in a reasonable amount of time for a good price in a tough Florida condo market. I would highly recommend Elyse to anyone looking to sell property in Florida. I’m very thankful that she was recommended to me and she really helped make the whole process easier and effective. Thanks, Paul.
I can’t say enough about Elyse!
I can’t say enough about Elyse! I have 3 large dogs and searched for 2 years for an over 55 that would allow my dogs. Most HOAs not only had size limits, but also breed restrictions. When I came across Elyse on a Facebook page, I thought I would see if she could help! She found me the perfect villa and I am closing next week.
What seemed impossible became a reality in a few months! I highly recommend Elyse!
Elyse was a pleasure to work with
Elyse was a pleasure to work with when purchasing a second home in Delray Beach. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and kept us informed as listings were constantly coming on and off the market. She is very knowledgeable about all of the communities in the area, especially when it comes to pets and the various restrictions. We ended up finding exactly what we were looking for at the right price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a Buyer’s Agent in south FL.
We were very impressed with the properties you showed us
Joel and I along with our little Shih Tzu, Chanel, were in our new Villa, settling in for the past 3 weeks. I’m writing this to describe our home-buying experience for you to post for others to see. I’d want people to know that all along the way you were good natured, bent over backwards to help us, knowledgeable and foremost honest. It’s rare for someone selling something to us to be honest. We learned, after surfing the Internet and talking to people, most adult communities of South Florida don’t allow pets. I did however, find a web site of a Real Estate agent that helped people find their “dream home” in a “pet friendly” community. I called the agent and you answered. I now realize how lucky we were to find you.
We first met you in July 2010 and you immediately got together a list of properties to show us in places that were “pet friendly.” You spent a lot of time with us knowing we may not buy anything. By chance, we found an adult community in another county that was “pet friendly” and fell in love with their very large Clubhouse. This purchase failed as did a second attempt. After the disappointments (and a lot of stress) we thought we’d try Delray Beach again and called you. You remembered us. We told you our tales of woe, and you immediately made appointments to show us some properties the next day.
You are fast! One reason you’re fast is because you know your business. You know which communities allow pets and you don’t have to first search every community to find which ones did. We were very impressed with the properties you showed us. You were spot-on showing us what we were looking for! We found a home, but it failed during negotiations. That’s when you went into action again and immediately showed us other properties. This helped the terrible feeling of disappointment. You showed us another property we fell in love with. There was another offer that was accepted on the property, so we went home disappointed. We told you if the deal falls through to let us know. As luck would have it, the deal fell through, and the seller accepted our offer. The 10-Day Inspection Period was very stressful for us since we were in NJ and were used to having an attorney write the contract and do everything.
Here in Florida, the Real Estate agent fills in the blanks on a state form. We had little confidence in the Florida home-buying process. There were a lot of phone calls, texting, emails and faxing. You gave us every possible piece of information and names of professionals we can talk to to reassure us the Florida home-buying process can be trusted, and it works well. You did a marketing analysis for us to show us what we were buying was a fair price. You gave us names and phone numbers of Attorneys, Insurance companies, Utility companies etc. letting us know what we needed to do. You kept on top of everything. We closed by phone, email, fax and Certified Overnight mail and wired the money. Again, this was very “foreign” to us. A week later, we opened the door to our new Villa and we were in love! Our little dog loved it too! We would be very happy to do business with you again and recommend you to our friends and family.
You made our buying experience a pleasure
We are writing you this letter today to truly ‘thank you’ for helping us buy our home in Delray Beach, FL. We found you to be pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, very hard working and VERY patient! As our time was limited and we were under a strict deadline to purchase a dwelling, we appreciate all the time that you devoted to our search. Without your expertise, we might not have found a home and we would still be looking! Your E-mails in regards to lawyers, inspectors, insurance agents, etc. were invaluable. If anyone would like a recommendation from us, please feel free to have them contact us. You made our buying experience a pleasure. Thank you again.
Elyse helped us tremendously
My husband and I moved to the Boca-Delray area from the Chicago area with two adult children and an elderly dog. We knew nothing about the area, nor the extensive restrictions for people who have pets. Elyse helped us tremendously. She took the time to know us and quickly figured out what we wanted in a home – actually much better than we knew ourselves!
She was patient as we sold our home up North, showing us homes in the types of neighborhoods we’d feel comfortable in. Elyse was on top of everything from putting in our offer to finding the right bank to finance, and everything in between. The closing process was a dream.
Now that we’ve closed on our home, I consider Elyse my first true friend in South Florida. I would recommend her unconditionally – I can’t say enough good things about her. Elyse Berman is a true professional and a realty gem.
Elyse has an amazing ability to make you feel like you are not just a client
When my husband and I decided to relocate to Florida, we were naturally anxious and concerned as to where we would be happiest. Along with what home we would choose, we were confused as to what location in Florida would best suit our tastes and interests. Fortunately, we were connected to the perfect realtor to suit our needs. Elyse Berman was not only terrific in finding the perfect home for us; she was terrific in introducing and orientating us to the lovely area of Delray Beach.
Naturally we were concerned before we met Elyse that she might be like some of the other realtors we had encountered, concerned primarily with closing the deal. Her first priority from the moment she met us was making us absolutely happy about the choices we were offered. There was virtually no pressure on her part to hurry us. On several occasions she would encourage us to take our time and consider all options. We never felt compelled to rush into anything with her as our guide and mentor.
Elyse has an amazing ability to make you feel like you are not just a client. She offered negatives and positives about the homes we toured with her, and pointed out factors that she felt would impact us the most. There was never a time we felt we weren’t on “the same team” so to speak. The countless hours, days and months she worked with us is a testament to her loyalty and personal interest in her clients. Even when we were unsure as to following through with our dream, she never applied pressure or lost her patience with us. She took her time and continued to be available whenever we needed her.
In closing, I know for a fact that if we weren’t lucky enough to have met Elyse, we would still be in Cleveland Ohio, ready to face yet another cold, grey blustery winter. We will forever be grateful that she put forth so much hard work to find us the perfect home that we are simply thrilled about.
We have grown to love her as a person with integrity and a pleasant, caring personality.
She is confident without being aggressive.
Last month, I had 24 hours to call “my own.” So, I opted to get on a plane and spend it with a woman who had the reputation of being one of the most well-versed real estate representatives in the Delray/Highland Beach area. To my delight, I met the woman who is now the reason behind my warm weather wonder of a rental, the future Realtor to a purchase when and if it should arise and my friend. Elyse Berman is the woman, the Realtor and the friend.
My flight and stay in Florida were seamless. Elyse took me to see everything available which met my “wish list” and had a time line, which made the process a pleasurable one. Her own experiences, having relocated from the New York area and become a Southern Florida resident, were priceless in the process.
Elyse was, and remains, a communicator in real time with me and with other agents/managers involved in the real estate market. She is confident without being aggressive. She is timely while being able to give extra time and care in cases requiring flexibility. I would highly recommend Elyse Berman for any rental or purchase in the Greater Boca Raton area. In fact, I have already done so with a friend in New York!
She listened to our concerns about different properties
My wife and I first contacted Elyse when her name came up during an internet search for pet friendly communities in Boca Raton as she herself is a long time pet owner. Initially, we asked her help for a seasonal rental with 2 small dogs. She said that it would be very challenging due to the many restrictions most of the communities have regarding the amount of pets, size and breed. However, she was kind enough to make some recommendations and we started our search.
After a couple of months of searching for seasonal rentals that would allow 2 dogs, we realized there were just too many complications and restrictions, especially being out of state residents. Since it was really important to us at this point in our lives to spend more time in Florida with our dogs, we decided to use Elyse’s many years of experience and expertise in the Boca/Delray area to help us purchase a second home in a pet friendly community.
We had some very specific requirements regarding location, size of the home and community amenities. It didn’t take long for Elyse to help us zero in on two communities which fit most of our needs and ultimately, we chose the very intimate and pet friendly community of Santa Barbara, ideally located in central Boca. We just closed on our new home 10/29/2015.
During every step of the process in finding the right home for us, Elyse was always extremely knowledgeable, professional and readily available to us by phone or email. As a court stenographer in her previous career, she is meticulous in every detail. She listened to our concerns about different properties and locations but would never push us in one direction or the other, leaving it up to us to make the final decisions.
In closing, we would highly recommend Elyse as someone honest and trustworthy to help you with your real estate needs. If you’re a pet owner looking to purchase in Palm Beach County, then you really must contact her!

Since we were relocating from Pennsylvania, Elyse was invaluable as my representative in purchasing our home in Delray Beach. She answered all our questions and helped buying our house an easy transaction. We are still in touch and she is always ready to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. I highly recommend her, she’s a pleasure to work with.
