What’s It Like Living at Ocean City Lofts?

In the heart of downtown Delray Beach, just steps away from Atlantic Avenue’s restaurants, boutiques, and nightlife, lies Ocean City Lofts — a boutique community of 63 contemporary residences. Designed for those who love urban energy without sacrificing comfort, these modern lofts deliver a unique living experience that blends South Florida sophistication with walkable convenience.

Each condo ranges from 900 to 2,200 square feet, with open floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sleek finishes like stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Oversized closets, in-unit laundry, and private balconies bring comfort and practicality to every home.

The vibe here is boutique and modern, but with a warmth that reflects Delray Beach’s coastal charm. You’ll often see neighbors relaxing by the pool, meeting for yoga in the meditation space, or walking their dogs before heading out for dinner downtown.

Simon Karim’s Insight:
“Ocean City Lofts gives you the best of both worlds — you can be at the beach in five minutes, enjoy dinner on Atlantic Avenue in two, and still come home to a private, modern retreat.”

The broader Delray Beach condo market has softened, with average list prices down by about 13% year-over-year (MyBrokerOne), but inventory is up — giving buyers more leverage. Still, boutique communities like Ocean City Lofts remain highly desirable thanks to their walkability and unique lifestyle.

Simon’s Market Take: “Listings are moving faster than expected when priced well. Inventory is up, but Ocean City Lofts stands out because of its location and boutique feel. Buyers know these units don’t come around often.”
