Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is built for boat owners. Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, and Harbor Beach put ocean access at the end of your dock, and the yachting infrastructure here is the best in the state. The beach is wide, the downtown has grown up, and prices remain a step below Miami for comparable waterfront.

Buyers who want a slower pace without giving up nightlife or dining land here. Las Olas Boulevard is the spine of the city, the airport is fifteen minutes from almost everything, and the new residential towers downtown have brought a younger crowd. Waterfront homes are priced by dockage: fixed bridges, canal width, and distance to the inlet all matter.
