The Roebling Research Desk · October 2026
Villa Nova is a small oceanfront condominium at 3505 South Ocean Boulevard in Highland Beach. The building dates to 1987, and the town's inventory identifies 24 residences. Its combination of a tower form and a limited residential population makes it a distinctive comparison within the town's beachfront stock.
The appeal is partly one of scale. A relatively small group of homes shares the building and oceanfront facilities, while elevation gives individual apartments different relationships to the horizon. The specific floor and exposure remain important; a small population does not make every residence equivalent.

A late-1980s boutique tower
Villa Nova's construction period places it after the early wave of Highland Beach condominium development and before the area's later boutique projects. The building's age is useful historical context, but the condition of a residence depends on both its individual renovation and the work undertaken on common property.
The oceanfront position means that the residential grounds meet the Atlantic side of the barrier island. This differs from a development where the beach facility is across A1A. The journey from apartment to pool and beach is part of the property's practical appeal and should be evaluated alongside the view.
Larger rooms within a small building
County records for Residence 10N identify two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath, with 2,659 total square feet. The record does not separately define under-air area. This example illustrates a substantial two-bedroom footprint rather than a claim that every home follows the same configuration.
Beachfront common facilities
Reported shared features include a pool, fitness and sauna facilities, community space, storage and beach cabanas. The cabanas are a potentially useful detail, but their ownership, allocation and transfer arrangements should be established for the residence rather than assumed to be uniform.
A small-association comparison
Villa Nova is best compared with other smaller oceanfront buildings when evaluating the relationship between residential population and shared facilities. That does not establish lower costs. The current budget, reserve position and capital program are needed to understand how expenses are allocated among the homes.
