West Boca Raton is an unincorporated community west of the city of Boca Raton, in Palm Beach County, United States. It is populated by numerous developments such as The Hamptons, Boca West, Mission Bay and Loggers' Run. Local Congressman Ted Deutch lives in the Boca Falls development. West Boca is distinct from East Boca in that it is farther from the ocean, less crowded, and less affected by the annual surge of winter visitors.
West Boca Raton, commonly referred to as West Boca, is roughly considered to be the area west of the Florida's Turnpike between Delray Beach and the Broward County line. Some would also include the area between the Turnpike and Jog/Powerline Road or Military Trail, though large parts of that section have been annexed into municipal Boca Raton.
Major north-south roads in West Boca include (from east to west) the Turnpike, Lyons Road, and U.S. Route 441/State Road 7. Major east-west roads include (from north to south) Clint Moore Road, Yamato Road (NW 51st St.), Glades Road, Palmetto Park Road, and SW 18th Street.
High schools include West Boca Raton Community High School and Olympic Heights Community High School. Spanish River Community High School is in municipal Boca Raton but serves some students in West Boca.
Middle schools include Eagles Landing and Loggers' Run Community Middle School
