I lived in Oaks of Boca for a while towards the end of senior year…right across the street off 13th and pretty decent…Posted On: Feb 2nd 2019, 10:51 AM #384930
That place is a hole, I'd never live there again. Police raids, they only allow 2 cars per unit, cats, rats, roaches, old. I can go on and on. It's close to campus, it's only redeeming quality

(Publix, Trader Joes and Mizner within walking distance). They have a 2 bedroom place. Not sure how much it is though.

THIS FAU off-campus housing website is a good starting place, as is apartments.com.
A lot of people focus on dedicated communities with all the bells and whistles but renting a house and splitting the cost may be more cost-effective, especially in Boca. Some apartments charge an arm and a leg per person ($800+) as a policy vs other places which are like $1500/month but split among three people, that's actually reasonable.

The stuff on 20th is higher than that - pretty much all of those newer apartments are the type you pay per bedroom. That makes a lot of sense, but still is a little sticker shock (at least for me).
