Secluded, exclusive, quiet -- the Boynton Beach community of Nautica Sound is a step above most. Even the best gated communities are still vulnerable to anyone entering as they please, but with guarded gating safety is increased greatly. Guards staff the community all day, every day of the week. This makes Nautica Sound perfect for anyone who wants to live in Boynton Beach but also understands the need for great privacy and security.

Along with privacy and security simply comes exclusivity. Guard gated communities are luxurious -- in essence they have more to protect against harm. Again, lots of Florida communities say they're styled after resorts, but only the best have fully staffed guard houses. Homes in Nautica Sound range from three to five bedrooms, the community itself shaped like the letter J, with four lakes evenly dispersed throughout. What amenities does Nautica Sound have to offer? A huge, sparkling swimming pool, multiple tennis and basketball courts, as well as a fitness facility and children's play area all sounded by lush, well-maintained landscaping.

Just outside the community gate, down the long private tree-lined streets leading into the community, residents can take Lawrence road down to Hypoluxo to a business center which includes Citibank, Century 21, Tire Choice & Total Car Care, as well as Motor City Car Wash. Just across Hypoluxo Rd. is Santaluces community High School, and the Royal Palm School. On Hypoluxo itself is Planet Kids, Freedom Shores Elementary School and the Boynton Beach Calvary Chapel.
