The Real Deal <\/a>was the first to report on the transaction.\u00a0<\/p>\nOccupying 8,600 square feet, the six-bedroom, 8.5-bath residence, designed by Arianna Tascione and built by Primo Construction, stretches across a golf course lot and leans hard into resort-style living.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It includes five sprawling balconies, a sleek club-style office and lounge, a climate-controlled wine room and a statement-making great room anchored by a custom bar.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a full wellness setup \u2014 a private gym with an infrared sauna \u2014 plus a four-car garage with a dedicated golf cart bay, because in this enclave, that\u2019s not a flex, it\u2019s a necessity.<\/p>\n

Jackie Feldman with ONE Sotheby\u2019s International Realty repped the seller, while Jason Matouk with Douglas Elliman represented the buyer.<\/p>\n
James, 60, is no stranger to the region, having previously bought and sold multimillion-dollar oceanfront estates nearby. In 2021, he purchased a home in Delray Beach for $14 million. Two years later, he sold it at a loss for $12.67 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The purchase comes as Boca\u2019s luxury market continues to heat up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Across South Florida, high-end sales volume jumped 13% year-over-year to $4.3 billion in late 2025, with Palm Beach County alone seeing transactions surge more than 20%. In Boca specifically, home prices have climbed steadily \u2014 rising about 8.5% year-over-year \u2014 as demand continues to build.<\/p>\n

And that demand isn\u2019t random. Florida remains one of the country\u2019s biggest magnets for wealth migration, with roughly 27% of new homeowners arriving from out of state \u00a0\u2014 many of them deep-pocketed buyers chasing tax breaks, space and sunshine.<\/p>\n
But the bigger story is Boca itself.<\/p>\n
Long stereotyped as a retiree haven,\u00a0complete with golf carts and early bird specials, the city is undergoing a quiet identity shift. The average luxury buyer is now closer to 45, with an influx of younger families and professionals drawn to top-tier schools, gated communities and a growing business scene. Population growth is also ticking upward, with Boca expanding faster than neighboring cities as new residents pour in post-pandemic.<\/p>\n
Even Wall Street has taken notice. Once-sleepy office corridors are filling with finance firms, and developers are pouring billions into new housing aimed at a younger, more active crowd \u2014 a far cry from the city\u2019s shuffleboard reputation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin James may have found his retirement haven \u2014 this time, in Boca Raton\u2019s most elite ZIP code.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":665210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[568,185,19143,12213,171,723,11194,247221,76506,5418,4329,10204,700,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-665209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-actors","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-homes","tag-celebrity-real-estate","tag-entertainment","tag-florida","tag-homeowners","tag-kevin-james","tag-luxe-listings","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate","tag-retirement","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116252038594157531","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
