Market Intelligence
About The Building
Ocean’s Edge is a 19-story, 40-unit oceanfront tower at 5050 North Ocean Drive on Singer Island, completed by Toll Brothers in 2008. The building places one to two residences per floor, with private elevator entry to each unit and floor plans ranging from 2,800 to approximately 7,900 square feet across two- to four-bedroom configurations.
Residences feature split bedroom layouts, floor-to-ceiling impact glass, and large private terraces with Atlantic and Intracoastal exposures. Original interior specifications include granite countertops, European-style cabinetry, and premium appliance packages. Many units have since been renovated by individual owners, and upgraded units trade at a meaningful premium to original-condition units.
Building amenities include an oceanfront pool and heated spa, a private screening room, fitness center, social room, outdoor grilling area, and air-conditioned storage. Services include 24-hour manned security, concierge, and valet parking. Each residence is assigned two garage parking spaces.
Within Singer Island’s oceanfront competitive set, Ocean’s Edge is the smallest building by unit count. The Ritz-Carlton Residences (242 units) offers branded hotel services at a higher carrying cost. Oasis (18 stories, 60 units) and Tiara (220 units) bracket the price range above and below. Buyers choosing Ocean’s Edge are typically prioritizing low density and larger floor plates over branded services or a lower entry point.

Location
Ocean’s Edge sits on the central stretch of Singer Island, a barrier island in the Town of Riviera Beach. The building is approximately 20 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport, 12 minutes from I-95, and 18 minutes from the Brightline station in West Palm Beach. John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is five minutes north.
For daily errands and dining, PGA Boulevard and The Gardens Mall are 15 minutes west across the Blue Heron Boulevard bridge. Worth Avenue on Palm Beach Island is approximately 25 minutes south. Singer Island connects to the mainland via a single bridge (Blue Heron Boulevard), which can affect commute times during peak hours.
Common Questions
Monthly assessments range from approximately $2,800 to $5,500 depending on unit size. The fee covers 24-hour security, concierge and valet services, master building insurance, reserve fund contributions, pool and beach maintenance, common area upkeep, and all shared amenities.
Before making an offer, buyers should request three documents from the association: the current annual budget (to see how fees are allocated), the most recent reserve study (to evaluate whether reserves are adequately funded or whether a special assessment is likely), and the last two years of board meeting minutes (which surface any deferred maintenance or pending capital projects).
Under Florida’s condo reform legislation (SB 4-D, effective 2024), associations are now required to maintain funded reserves for structural components. Ocean’s Edge, built in 2008, reaches its first milestone structural inspection around 2033.
This is the most common comparison for Singer Island buyers, and the two buildings serve genuinely different needs. The Ritz-Carlton Residences (242 units across two 27-story towers) delivers branded hotel services: in-residence dining, a full-service spa, daily housekeeping options, a resort pool complex, and the Ritz-Carlton concierge standard. HOA fees reflect that service level.
Ocean’s Edge (40 units, single tower) has no hotel component, no restaurant, and no branded operator. What it offers instead is significantly lower density (one to two residences per floor versus four to six at the Ritz-Carlton), meaningfully larger floor plates at a comparable or lower price per square foot, and monthly carrying costs that can run thousands less.
Buyers who want to be taken care of tend toward the Ritz-Carlton. Buyers who want to be left alone in a larger space tend toward Ocean’s Edge. Both buildings share the same stretch of beach; the lifestyle inside is where they diverge.
Ocean’s Edge permits rentals subject to a minimum lease term and board approval of the tenant. The association reviews rental applications, and prospective tenants may be required to submit a background check and financial references.
Buyers purchasing with rental intent should request the current declaration of condominium and any amendments governing rentals, paying particular attention to three things: the minimum lease duration (which determines whether seasonal rentals are permitted), whether there is an annual cap on the number of units that can be rented simultaneously, and whether the association charges a rental application or transfer fee.
These rules are set by the board and can change, so the governing documents at the time of your purchase are what matters.
The association carries master building insurance covering the structure, common elements, and shared systems. Individual owners are responsible for HO-6 policies covering interior contents, improvements, and personal liability.
Singer Island’s barrier island location means building insurance premiums are a material component of HOA fees, and these costs have increased substantially across all coastal buildings in Palm Beach County since 2022. Florida’s SB 4-D now requires associations to maintain funded reserves for structural components and prohibits the common pre-Surfside practice of waiving reserve contributions by owner vote.
Buyers should request the current insurance declaration page (to verify coverage levels and deductibles) and the most recent reserve study (to assess funding adequacy). If the reserve study shows a shortfall, a special assessment to close the gap may be forthcoming.
Singer Island offers direct oceanfront living at a materially lower entry price than Palm Beach Island, where buildings like Bellaria and 3550 South Ocean trade at roughly two to three times the price per square foot.
The trade-off is real: Singer Island is a barrier island within the Town of Riviera Beach, not Palm Beach proper. It lacks the walkable retail, dining, and social infrastructure of Worth Avenue and Royal Poinciana Way. Daily errands require crossing the Blue Heron Boulevard bridge to the mainland, approximately 15 minutes to The Gardens Mall and PGA Boulevard.
Compared to 1000 Ocean in Boca Raton, Singer Island is closer to Palm Beach International Airport and the northern Intracoastal boating corridor. Buyers who want oceanfront square footage as the priority and are less concerned with walkability and social proximity tend to find the value proposition compelling.

With only 40 residences, turnover is naturally limited, and many transactions begin off-market before reaching the MLS.
The three variables that most affect pricing within the building are floor level (higher floors command a premium for unobstructed sight lines), view orientation (direct east ocean views versus west Intracoastal views), and renovation status. Ocean’s Edge was completed in 2008, and original-specification units with the builder’s granite, cabinetry, and flooring trade at a significant discount to units where owners have invested in full renovations.
The gap between an original-condition tower residence and a fully renovated unit on the same floor can be substantial. Buyers should evaluate whether purchasing a lower-priced original unit and budgeting for renovation produces a better outcome than paying the premium for a turn-key renovated unit.
Ocean’s Edge was built in 2008 to the Florida Building Code standards that were significantly strengthened after the 2004–2005 hurricane seasons. The building features impact-resistant glass throughout, reinforced concrete construction, and backup generator systems for common areas and elevators.
Singer Island, as a barrier island, falls within hurricane evacuation zones, and residents should be prepared to evacuate during major storm events per Palm Beach County emergency management directives.
The building’s master insurance policy covers wind and storm damage to the structure and common elements; individual owners should carry HO-6 policies that include wind coverage for interior improvements. Flood insurance through the NFIP or private market is also advisable given the coastal location. Buyers should confirm current wind and flood insurance coverage levels with the association as part of due diligence.
Pets are permitted, though the association maintains rules governing size, breed, and common-area conduct; request the current pet addendum for specifics.
Move-in and move-out require advance scheduling with building management and are typically restricted to weekday daytime hours to minimize disruption to other residents. Renovation projects require board approval and must use licensed, insured contractors; the association sets permitted construction hours and may require a refundable deposit. Deliveries, contractor access, and guest registration are coordinated through the front desk.
These are standard practices for a building of this caliber, but the specific rules are set by the current board and can evolve. We recommend reviewing the full set of association rules and regulations before closing.
Ocean’s Edge provides concierge services during staffed hours, valet parking, and 24-hour manned security at the porte cochère. The front desk handles package receipt, guest registration, vendor access, dry cleaning coordination, and local dining and service referrals.
This is the service standard of a well-run residential building, not a hotel. There is no in-unit dining service, no housekeeping staff, no spa booking desk, and no resort programming. Residents who want those services either arrange them privately or should consider the Ritz-Carlton Residences, where hotel-level service is built into the HOA structure.
For many Ocean’s Edge residents, the absence of hotel infrastructure is the point: fewer staff, fewer transient guests, and a quieter building.
On floors with two residences, a combination is architecturally possible but requires structural engineering review, board approval, and a significant construction scope. The elevator vestibule configuration and load-bearing wall placement vary by floor, so feasibility is floor-specific.
Any combination would also consolidate two HOA assessments into one and may require amendments to the declaration. Buyers interested in a larger footprint should also consider the penthouse tier (floors 17 through 19), where individual units already reach approximately 7,900 square feet.
