Sherwood Forest is a small, low-key pocket of Delray Beach where single-family homes with pools sit on generous, tree-lined lots. It's the kind of place that trades density for space — you're close to the energy of Atlantic Avenue and the coast, but the street itself stays calm. Neighbors here value privacy, and a few homes sit behind gates, which suits buyers who want room to breathe without leaving the city behind.
The market is tight and priced for the higher end: just four homes are active, with a median list price of $1,325,000 and three of the four asking over $1M. Homes are moving at a fair clip when priced right — median days on market run about 36, and the single home sold in the past year fetched 100% of asking. If you're shopping here, compare notes against neighboring communities like Pines Of Delray North and Delray Colonial, or watch inventory shift on the live map.
Sherwood Forest is a community in Delray Beach, Florida.
