A new senior housing development could bring 90 affordable apartments to Boynton Beach’s Federal Highway corridor, and this one is specifically designed for residents 62 and older. City View is planned as a six-story building at Federal Highway and SE 5th Avenue, with all 90 apartments available for rent rather than purchase. The development would serve seniors earning no more than 60% of the area median income, with some units reserved for those earning 50% or less.
If rental assistance is secured, residents would pay no more than 30% of their household income toward rent. Plans also include about 5,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, a fitness center and monthly community events and classes. The Boynton Beach CRA has committed $3.75 million toward the project, and 90 project-based housing vouchers are planned. If completed, City View would give lower-income Boynton seniors another option for staying close to the community they call home.

The Brook Is Almost Here — But There’s a Catch
Pickleball players waiting for The Brook Tennis and Pickleball in West Boynton will have to wait a little longer. The massive 79,000-square-foot indoor racquet sports facility at The District had previously been expected to open this month, but current materials from The Brook now list the opening as Winter 2026, with no specific date announced. There may also be fewer pickleball courts than originally planned. The Brook’s press kit lists 14 indoor and six outdoor courts, while its current website lists 12 indoor and three outdoor courts.
Plans still call for five indoor and two outdoor tennis courts. Despite the delay, interest appears strong: the first 100 founding pickleball memberships have already sold out, with another membership tier now available. The climate-controlled facility is also expected to include locker rooms, a pro shop and social areas. For now, local players can keep their paddles ready - they’ll just need a little more patience.

Boynton Is Investing In Local Businesses — Here’s Who Benefits
Boynton Beach businesses are getting a financial boost through grants funded by the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency. The CRA recently highlighted how some of that money is being used to help local businesses grow, improve their properties and remain in the redevelopment district. One recent recipient is Alchemy Eco Salon, which received $18,000 through the CRA’s Rent Reimbursement Grant Program. The assistance helped the business expand and relocate into a larger space at Ocean Plaza. Programs like these use CRA funds to encourage investment and strengthen businesses within the redevelopment area. For residents, it also offers a look at where some CRA dollars are going - and how that money is being put to work in the local business community.

🤔 Did You Know?
In the 1960s and ’70s, Boynton Beach had its own Miss Boynton Beach Pageant. In 1968, the competition was held at Boynton Beach Elementary School, where admission was just $1.25. The winner could advance through the Miss America system, giving a local Boynton contestant a shot at bigger stages. Quite a throwback to a different era in Boynton Beach!
Boynton Is Cutting Taxes — But There’s A Catch
Boynton Beach residents are getting a trade-off in the city’s new budget: lower property taxes, but higher water and sewer bills. The city reduced its property tax rate, which should save many homeowners some money, while utility rates are increasing to help fund roughly $325 million in upgrades to aging water treatment plants and new PFAS treatment requirements. For a typical household using about 5,000 gallons of water a month, the increase is around $11.36 monthly, or about $136 a year. City officials say the property tax reduction should offset much of that added cost for many homeowners. So the bottom line is fairly simple: a little less on the tax bill, a little more on the water bill.
