What The Sanctuary does

The Sanctuary is a private, guard-gated residential homeowners association community located on the Intracoastal Waterway in Boca Raton, Florida. Founded in 1975, it comprises approximately 97 exclusive private estates on homes ranging from $1 million to over $15 million and 5,000 to 20,000 square feet of living space. The community is recognized by Forbes as one of the Top Ten Most Exclusive and Expensive Gated Communities in the United States and is home to prominent executives and business owners.

Core offerings include a 20–23-slip private marina with deep-water dockage behind roughly 60 of the estates, 24/7 uniformed armed land and waterway patrols by G4S Sanctuary guards, concierge services including mail/package reception and property monitoring, a 27±-acre bird and wildlife preserve, two Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a 10,000-square-foot park with ASTM safety-rated playground, and proximity to Boca Raton Resort & Club, Mizner Park, and Boca Raton Executive Airport.

The community is operated with 11–50 employees and has no disclosed technology product beyond a member portal hosted by HOA Sites.
