The name is what caught me first. I spent more than two decades selling country and horse properties in Massachusetts before I moved to Boca Raton — barns, paddocks, riding rings, the whole vocabulary. So when I saw Woodfield Hunt Club on a map, with a street called Equestrian Drive running straight through the middle of it, I made an assumption.
There are no horses. There never have been.
What is there is something I found more interesting: 328 custom homes on third-acre to half-acre lots, built in the 1980s behind two manned gates on Jog Road, on streets that curve instead of running in a grid, under a tree canopy that has had forty years to fill in. I walked it on a Sunday afternoon in August with a camera. It was ninety degrees and I did not pass a single moving car.
This is the first in a new series taking one South Florida neighborhood at a time and looking at it the way a buyer actually needs to see it — the streets, the houses, the dues, and the numbers behind them. Here is the walk.
Why is it called a hunt club if there are no horses?
Woodfield Hunt Club has no horses, no stables and no bridle paths. The English fox-hunting theme is 1980s developer romance, not a record of anything that happened on the land.
The community was built by The Barbar Group, led by George Barbar, who went on to develop Woodfield Country Club next door. Phase I was finished in 1985 and the neighborhood was reported close to ninety percent sold out by the following spring. The street names came from the same imagination that named the community: Hunters Way, Canterbury, Regency, Hyde, Hampton, Kings Way, Equestrian Drive.
What the theme did leave behind is the layout it implied. Generous lots. Deep setbacks. Wide sidewalked streets that bend rather than intersect at right angles. Mature landscaping that a 1980s community has and a 2020s community will not have for another thirty years. The horses were always metaphorical. The lot sizes were not.
Do you have to join Woodfield Country Club to live in Woodfield Hunt Club?
No. Buying a home in Woodfield Hunt Club does not obligate you to join Woodfield Country Club. There is no mandatory membership, no required initiation deposit and no club minimum attached to the deed.
This is the single most consequential thing to understand about the neighborhood, and the thing most often gotten wrong. Two communities, one developer, one road, one shared name — and two entirely separate sets of governing documents, gates and finances. Buyers arrive here assuming a six-figure initiation is baked into the purchase. Sellers sometimes price as though one exists.
The membership is available if you want it. The club’s own membership page describes a one-year trial membership open to Woodfield Hunt Club homeowners, and local brokerages describe an ongoing non-equity social and fitness category beyond that year. Reporting on a board-approved increase puts the full equity membership at $300,000 effective November 2, 2026 — but that equity figure applies to buyers inside the club’s own villages, not to a Hunt Club resident’s optional social category. If club access matters to you, call the Woodfield Membership Office directly at 561-989-7272 and get this year’s category, cost and waitlist in writing. Every number circulating online is second-hand and has moved more than once.
For a buyer weighing two similar Boca houses at a similar price, this is often the largest single difference in annual carrying cost between them — and it does not appear anywhere in the list price.
Four houses on one street
The walk in the video runs down Equestrian Drive, and it happens to pass four homes that together tell you most of what you need to know about how this market prices. Two are for sale as I write this. Two closed within the last year.
3090 Equestrian Drive — offered at $2,095,000
The house the tour started at. Four bedrooms, four full baths, 3,551 square feet of living area on a 17,001 square foot corner lot — one of the larger parcels in the phase. Built in 1983 and taken well forward since: impact glass throughout including the attic and a hurricane-impact front door, remodeled baths, updated tile through the living space, a whole-home generator, a twelve-camera security system, and a screened patio off a pool with a waterfall. Taxes run $15,151 and the HOA assessment is $693 a month, billed quarterly. It is listed with Compass.
What struck me standing in front of it was the corner lot itself. There is genuine extra land here — room for a playground or a home extension — which in a neighborhood where nearly every house already has a pool is one of the few remaining ways to be different.
3110 Equestrian Drive — offered at $2,150,000
A short walk down the street, and a different proposition entirely. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, 3,952 square feet — larger than 3090 — on a 15,625 square foot lake lot with 120 feet of water frontage. Semi-circular driveway, double-sided wood-burning fireplace, a loft above the kitchen, cathedral ceilings, and new white impact windows and doors. Southwest exposure over the lake, which means afternoon light and sunsets off the pool deck.
When I filmed, there were ducks with their babies on the water behind the house. It is a lovely setting, and the home has been available for some time. Listed with United Realty Group.
3155 Equestrian Drive — closed December 2025 at $3,500,000
Across the street and a different era. New construction completed in 2025 on a 20,386 square foot lot: five bedrooms, five and a half baths, 4,197 square feet, plus a media room and study. It closed at $834 per square foot — the highest figure in the neighborhood over the past year by a wide margin, and the clearest illustration of what a full rebuild is worth here.
3170 Equestrian Drive — closed September 2025 at $1,750,000
Back across the street again, and the transaction I would point a buyer to first. A 1983 lakefront ranch, four bedrooms, 3,059 square feet, closed in three days at $572 per square foot with a $50,000 seller concession. Standing in front of it now, looking at the stonework and the landscaping, my read is that a good deal of what you see was done after the sale. Whoever bought it appears to have bought well.
Four houses, one street, and a spread from $377 to $834 a foot across the neighborhood in a single year. That spread is the whole story, and it is worth understanding before you make an offer on anything here.
What did homes sell for in Woodfield Hunt Club in the past year?
Nine homes closed in Woodfield Hunt Club between August 2025 and August 2026, at a median of $1,750,000 and a median of $531 per square foot, in a median of 21 days. Prices ran from $1,512,500 to $3,500,000.
Nine is a small sample, so rather than hide it inside an average, here is every one of them.
| Address | Closed price | Per sq ft | Days | Closed |
| 3155 Equestrian Drive | $3,500,000 | $834 | 110 | Dec 2025 |
| 3215 St Charles Place | $2,675,000 | $531 | 3 | Apr 2026 |
| 4875 Hunters Way | $2,099,900 | $587 | 4 | Aug 2025 |
| 3030 Canterbury Drive | $2,090,000 | $645 | 21 | Jun 2026 |
| 3170 Equestrian Drive | $1,750,000 | $572 | 3 | Sep 2025 |
| 4408 Woodfield Boulevard | $1,700,000 | $481 | 1 | Jan 2026 |
| 4885 Regency Court | $1,650,000 | $459 | 48 | Dec 2025 |
| 3160 St James Drive | $1,545,700 | $458 | 30 | Sep 2025 |
| 3740 Canterbury Way | $1,512,500 | $377 | 192 | Nov 2025 |

Seven of the nine landed between $1.51 million and $2.10 million. The two above that were the 2025 rebuild on a nearly half-acre lot and a 5,037 square foot lakefront. Strip out the new construction and the eight resales carry a median of $1,725,000 at $506 per square foot.
What actually moves price per square foot here
The intuitive answer is water. The data does not support it. Over the past twelve months, waterfront homes here carried a median of $550 per square foot and interior homes $556 — a difference well inside the noise of a seventeen-property sample.
What sorts this inventory is condition, and the most reliable proxy for condition in the MLS is storm protection. Homes with complete impact glass listed and closed at a median of $606 a foot. Homes with partial protection sat at $503.
Impact glass is not, by itself, worth a hundred dollars a foot. What it signals is that a homeowner who put complete impact windows and doors into a forty-year-old house almost always did the roof, the kitchen, the baths, the mechanicals and the pool deck in the same decade. It is the cleanest available read on renovation depth, and it sorts the houses the way buyers actually sort them.
Water still matters — for light, for privacy, for how the house lives and what you look at from the loggia. What the data says is narrower and more useful: in this neighborhood, at this moment, a lake lot does not rescue a dated house, and a fully renovated interior lot does not sell at a discount.
If you are buying here, price the renovation, not the postcard. A home at $460 a foot with shutters and original systems may be the better buy or the worse one depending entirely on what it costs to bring forward — and in Boca, impact windows, a roof and a kitchen on a 3,500 square foot house is not a small number. Get that scope priced during your inspection period, not after.
What the market looks like right now
As of August 8, 2026:
| Status | Count | Median price | Median days |
| Active | 5 | $2,150,000 | 105 |
| Under contract | 3 | $2,149,000 | 15 |
| Closed, 12 months | 9 | $1,750,000 | 21 |
Source: Beaches MLS, Woodfield Hunt Club and Woodfield Hunt Club II plats. Active list prices ranged $1,885,000 to $2,750,000.
Three things worth reading out of that table. Sellers are asking above where the market has been clearing — the active median sits roughly $400,000 above the trailing twelve-month closed median. The homes under contract went fast, at a median of fifteen days against 105 days for what is still sitting, which tells you buyers here will pay up for the right house and simply decline the rest. And supply is genuinely thin: eight homes on the market or under contract out of 328 is under three percent.
The negotiation pattern is unusually clean. Four of the nine sales resolved inside a week, and every one of those closed at or within three percent of the original asking price. Two closed above it. At the other end, the home that took 192 days closed 18.2 percent below where it started. There is no middle here. This is a well-informed, patient buyer pool that recognizes correct pricing immediately and waits out everything else.
What the HOA covers, and what it does not
The Woodfield Hunt Club assessment runs $693 to $700 per month for most homes, billed quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, and late after the fifteenth.
What that covers:
- Two 24-hour manned gates, one per phase, plus roving patrol
- A clubhouse with a club room and community room, rentable by residents
- A fitness center inside the clubhouse
- Five Har-Tru clay tennis courts, with a tennis professional on staff
- Basketball courts
- Two neighborhood parks with playgrounds
- Common area landscaping, cable and internet on most listings
What it does not cover, and what the neighborhood does not have:
- No golf. The course belongs to the country club
- No pickleball inside the Hunt Club. The lighted pickleball courts often attributed to “Woodfield” are the country club’s
- No community pool. Nearly every home here has its own
- No club dining
The rules that shape daily life
Rules tell you more about a community’s character than a photograph does. Two here are worth knowing before you tour.
Overnight street parking is not permitted. Cars must be garaged or in the driveway without blocking the sidewalk. On the walk I noticed how few cars were visible anywhere — most were in garages, which in August also keeps them cooler. If your household has four cars, garage capacity is a search criterion here, not a detail.
Exterior changes require Architectural Review Board approval before work begins — roofing, painting, landscaping, fences, hurricane shutters, generators and play equipment all included. Build ARB timing into any renovation schedule, and ask a seller whether past work went through the process. Unapproved modifications become the buyer’s problem after closing.
Board meetings are the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the clubhouse. Thirty minutes at one of those will tell you more about how a community is run than thirty listing photos.
Schools and where you actually are
Woodfield Hunt Club is zoned for Calusa Elementary, Omni Middle and Spanish River Community High — one of the stronger public pipelines in Palm Beach County, rated 10, 9 and 8 respectively by GreatSchools, with Spanish River carrying a state grade of A. Attendance boundaries change; verify the assignment for a specific address with the district before you rely on it.
Saint Andrew’s School sits at 3900 Jog Road, directly across from the community — about as close to a walk-to school as Boca Raton offers. Pine Crest’s Boca campus is minutes away on the St. Andrews Boulevard corridor, and Donna Klein Jewish Academy and American Heritage are both a reasonable drive.
The community sits on Jog Road between Yamato and Clint Moore, in 33434. Patch Reef Park is five to ten minutes. Town Center at Boca Raton is ten to fifteen. Boca Raton Regional Hospital is about thirteen minutes, Mizner Park about fifteen, and the beach fifteen to twenty. Fort Lauderdale is thirty to forty minutes south; Palm Beach International twenty-five to thirty-five north. This is an inland address with fast east-west access — not a walk-to-restaurants neighborhood, and not trying to be.

Everything above is drawn from a longer piece of work: The Insider’s Guide to Woodfield Hunt Club, which runs seventeen pages and covers every closed sale individually, the negotiation pattern property by property, the complete amenity and rules picture from the association’s own published materials, school and drive-time detail, and a due-diligence checklist of the questions I could not answer from a primary source and think you should ask before you go under contract.

If you are considering Woodfield Hunt Club
I moved to Boca Raton in January 2024 and built my practice here the same way I built it before: by knowing a small number of neighborhoods far better than a general search will ever show you. That means reading every listing in a community, not just the ones on the first page. It means calling the management company instead of quoting a brochure.
If you are weighing Woodfield Hunt Club against Woodfield Country Club, Broken Sound, Boca West, Royal Palm Polo, or the coastal communities in Delray Beach, Highland Beach and Lighthouse Point, I am glad to walk through the tradeoffs with you.
