Boca Raton (; Spanish: Boca Ratón, pronounced [ˈboka raˈton]) is the southernmost city in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. It is also home to the main campus of Florida Atlantic University. Many buildings in the area have a Mediterranean Revival or Spanish Colonial Revival architectural theme, initially inspired by Addison Mizner, a resort architect who heavily influenced the city's early development. Still today, Boca Raton has a strict development code for the size and types of commercial buildings, building signs, and advertisements that may be erected within the city limits.

Yes, I do feel that this city is for the most part, age friendly. We have many retirees that live in Boca, most all buildings, restaurants and public places are handicap accessible. There are community programs available for the elderly. We have education programs, speakers and interesting courses for continuing education or topics of interest at the local universities.
