Fort Lauderdale Real Estate

Centrally located between Miami and Palm Beach, most of Fort Lauderdale real estate is either on or very close to well over seven spectacular miles of pristine Atlantic coastline. On top of its convenient location and world-famous panoramic views, Fort Lauderdale real estate also has the undeniable draw of Southern Florida’s semi-tropical climate: who can argue with 3,000 hours of sunshine a year?

Downtown Fort Lauderdale real estate is surrounded by lush landscaping and winding walkways, the most popular public pedestrian mall being the famed mile-long Riverwalk Park which lines the banks of the city’s New River. This multi-million dollar feature attraction runs right to Las Olas Boulevard, the de rigueur promenade for shopping and evening strolls.

The Fort Lauderdale luxury office and residential real estate market is booming. Home to nearly 170,000 residents, Fort Lauderdale is the largest municipality in Broward County and is fondly referred to as the “Venice of America” for its 300 miles of gondolier-inspiring canals. Retirees, young families, university graduates, business owners and professionals are all attracted to invest in Fort Lauderdale real estate as the city glories in a ongoing cultural renaissance with its revitalized downtown marked by high-rises, multi-use complexes, the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Many people who acquire real estate in Fort Lauderdale do so because they know they’ll be in the “Yachting Capital of the World”, with much of the local property fronting not only the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean but also the Intracoastal Waterway and the city’s extensive canal system. Mega yachts and smaller pleasure crafts line the marinas at Los Olas, Bahia Mar and Pier 66, to name just a few.
