Delray Oaks and Andalucia Delray share the same $340K floor in the Delray Beach cluster. Same price point, same construction era, same city.

Brian Wilder's Advisory Note
The $340K floor match between Delray Oaks and Andalucia is the comparison that will come up most often for buyers looking at this Delray Beach cluster. Same price point, same era, same city. The question buyers need answered before running that comparison is whether Delray Oaks is gated. If it's gated, you're comparing two 1990s gated Delray Beach communities at the same floor — and the relevant variables are gate type, product type, and location within Delray Beach. If it's non-gated, you're comparing a gated community to a non-gated community at the same price point — and those are different HOA structures with different monthly carrying costs. That's not a minor distinction. Confirm gate status first, then compare.
