5505 N Ocean Blvd

Colonial Ridge is a low-rise, two-story oceanfront condominium complex originally built in 1969 and organized as a gated community with roughly low-density campus-style landscaping. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, including first-floor end units and corner residences that often feature enclosed porches or screened Florida rooms and small private garden/patio areas. Interiors display a mix of period details and modern updates across individual homes: bay windows, vaulted or high ceilings in places, updated kitchens and baths in many units, built-in cabinetry, walk-in closets, and a variety of bathing options from soaking tubs to separate showers. Common facilities are focused on outdoor coastal living and light recreational programming — a clubhouse, heated pool, bocce and shuffleboard courts, picnic and BBQ lawns, a boardwalk and gazebo overlooking approximately 200 feet of private beach frontage, plus beach access paths. Exterior elements include balconies, porches, patios, outdoor showers, storm/security shutters and high-impact windows in renovated units. Parking is surface-level with visitor spaces; the community enforces gated access and age-restricted governance in most documents (primarily 55+ rules noted in listings), and many units are sold furnished or turnkey. Monthly fees typically cover land lease and building insurance and support common-area maintenance and shared utilities like some on-site laundry options. The complex occupies a walkable Ocean Ridge location close to local shops, restaurants and a short drive to Delray Beach and Palm Beach-area airports.
