Public Beach Urban Walkable Bike-Friendly FAU Owls

Florida Atlantic University continues to grow and develop its research programs and academic standards, and is widely recognized as one of the best higher learning institutions in the state. School spirit runs high, and the university’s sports programs are loaded with traditions: the annual Football Kick-Off and the basketball team’s Midnight Madness pep rally are major events for students and locals alike.

The main campus enjoys a prime central location within easy walking distance of Boca’s swanky shopping, dining, and nightlife, as well as the beautiful South Florida beaches. Due in large part to the location, housing options around FAU run the gamut from swanky to sensible, with high-dollar luxury condos near the beach and more affordable houses and apartments closer to I-95. Most apartments near campus will also put you very close to popular attractions and venues like the multiplex movie theater and Spanish River Athletic Park on the northwest side or Mizner Park to the southeast.
