Marbella

The Roebling Research Desk · October 2026

Marbella stands at 250 South Ocean Boulevard, directly on the beach just south of Palmetto Park Road. Completed in 1975, the 20-story condominium combines a beachfront position with proximity to the road leading into downtown Boca Raton.

The building is particularly useful to understand through its apartment circulation. Semi-private elevator landings serve a small number of homes, giving the arrival sequence a different character from a long residential corridor. Oceanfront facilities and access to dock facilities add two distinct waterfront considerations.

Beachfront near Palmetto Park Road

Marbella's location puts the ocean on one side and a direct inland route toward downtown nearby. That relationship makes the building a logical comparison for someone weighing beach access against day-to-day access to restaurants, shops and services.

Architecture and apartment scale

The exterior belongs to the generation of coastal towers built during Boca's 1970s expansion. Its residential identity comes from the repeated apartment levels, balconies and beachfront orientation. The semi-private landings make circulation within that larger structure an important part of the experience.

County records show Residence 11D at 1,526 square feet, with two bedrooms and two baths. Other layouts and combined residences extend beyond that example. A combined home needs its own plan analysis, including whether the connection produces balanced rooms or leaves awkward circulation between the original apartments.

Shared facilities and costs

Reported amenities include an oceanfront pool, fitness facilities, tennis, social space, beach service and dock facilities. The beach and pool establish the main outdoor setting; boating adds an option whose availability and cost need to be confirmed separately for a particular purchase.

The Residence 2H listing updated February 18, 2026 reported $2,122 per month. This is a dated example for one apartment, not a current quote for every owner or a substitute for the association's budget.

When comparing ownership costs, the apartment's assessment, reserve funding and any separate parking or dock arrangement belong in the same review. A renovated interior and an updated lobby describe different parts of the property; neither alone explains the building's ongoing financial commitments.
