Old Floresta is a unique historic Boca Raton neighborhood established in the 1920’s by celebrated Palm Beach society architect Addison Mizner, whose picturesque Spanish Mediterranean designs define the city’s signature style to this day. Part of Mizner’s plan to attract new residents to Boca Raton included the development of a neighborhood that could house the executives of his development company, and would be constructed by the same firm building his masterpiece, The Cloister Inn—now known as The Boca Raton, a world-famous Waldorf Astoria resort.

Named Floresta (“A Delightful Rural Place”), the neighborhood took shape on lush tree-lined streets named for flowering plants, with charming Mediterranean-style residences adorned with rustic stucco walls, beautiful wrought iron balconies, barrel tile roofs, and manicured tropical landscaping.
Today, Old Floresta maintains the alluring charm of yesteryear and pays tribute to its rich history, preserving many of the original Mizner-designed residences. In 1990 it was designated Boca Raton’s first Historic District.
Old Floresta holds special appeal as a uniquely distinctive and desirable address, located in the heart of Boca Raton, just minutes from the world-class shopping and dining in Mizner Park, the incomparable amenities of The Boca Raton resort, pristine ocean beaches, and Boca Raton’s private executive airport.
