Delray Beach condos for sale with secure parking?

I'm looking to buy a 3 BR condo in Delray beach within walking distance to Atlantic ave near all the nice restaraunts and shops. I'm planning on spending between $300 - $450K. I currently live in the Boston area and this will be a second home for warm weather. Are there any condo developments that have secure and/or covered parking areas to keep a nice car down there without worrying about it? It will not be a Ferrari, but maybe a benz or bmw. I will be coming down in a few weeks to check places out. A place that has boat access would be great, it is unreasonable to think I can get all that in that price range?

 

Bump - Im going down this Tuesday to check out some condo places in Delray. I will contact RobertM and the other person who put in their phone numnber. Thanks.

 

So I went down, looked at condo in Astors, Pineapple grove and others - some good deals down there, but will probably get even better in next 6 months.

On the higher end, I looked at 5th Avenue - this is a new building under construction now (has the tall crane there) and just has the block walls up now. 3 BRs start at 750 (1800 sf and they only had one at this price) and the next 3 BR was like 850-950 range, and all other listings there (there are 43 units total, and only 16 or so remain for sale) were well over 1M - some closer to 2M. The development is schedule to be done buy December 09. I like this place the best but its a little above what I wanted to spend (though I can afford it). I question if they will have the capital to complete the development. I was very candid with the sales rep and asked him if the company was financially solid - he said they were fine and that the 32 units that have been sold all had 15% deposits. But I know in this environment anything can happen. Also, they seemed to be asking top dollar, and indicated there was not much room for price negotiations (only a little if I was going direct and not using a broker). This last aspect seemed a bit odd to me - its like the Ferrari of condo developments now under construction in Delray, but they are sticking to pricing that reflects a sellers market, but it is a buyers market now.

Has anyone down there cheked this place out? Do you think what you get for the money is a good deal? I just feel like at any price level, the buyer should feel like they are getting a great deal in this market, but since this place was fairly set on pricing, and its new construction, and the economy is crashing big time, its a bit baffling to me. An analogy to drive this point home woudl be a Ferrari dealer that in the current market was still selling 430s at $100K over sticker. Am I missing something here?

 

Bump - so a year later I can report I bought a 3BR penthouse condo in Astor, one block north of Atlantic Ave. near Bru's Room and Vic & Angelos. It is large (2200 sf under A/C) and includes a 900 sf roof deck with private hottub. Theres a nice pool on the roof. Good deals on pricing there, and it has a secure garage. I go between here and Boston frequently.

No Ferrari yet down here, but have been thinking about a 360 spider for a fun. I'll have to start going to some car events. Has the date for Cavillino in Palm Beach been set?
