West Lakes of Boca Raton is a 178-unit manufactured/mobile home cooperative community established in 1974 in west Boca Raton, Palm Beach County. It functions more like a land-lease manufactured-housing community than a mid-rise condo tower, with single-story homes on individual sites. Publicly reported resale prices for units have ranged roughly from the low six figures down to around $115,000, reflecting the manufactured-home nature of the property. The community is self-managed by its own nonprofit corporation rather than a third-party management firm.

West Lakes of Boca Raton was built in approximately 1974 with 178 units.
Florida condominiums of this age are subject to milestone inspection and structural reserve requirements. Our Intelligence Report covers what official city and county records show for this building, and what remains for a buyer to verify with the association.
When you buy into a condo building that's 15 or more years old — anywhere in the US — you should expect by default that an assessment, or several, is in effect or on the way: roof repairs, elevator replacement, repaving, facade work. Buildings age on a schedule, and the bill lands on the owners: often hundreds of dollars a month on top of your mortgage, HOA fee, taxes, and insurance. The unit listing rarely mentions any of it.
In Florida, the stakes for older buildings are higher still. Since the 2021 Surfside tragedy, state law requires milestone structural inspections at 30 years (25 in some coastal areas), Structural Integrity Reserve Studies, and — critically — bars associations from waiving reserve funding for structural components, ending decades of artificially low fees. Add the state's insurance surge, and many older buildings carry obligations that never appear in a listing. None of this makes an older building a bad purchase — but the difference between a well-run 1970s tower and a struggling one can be tens of thousands of dollars per unit. That's the question our building intelligence answers.
