Where to Find the Best Waterfront Homes for Sale in Fort Lauderdale?

Las Olas Isles

Welcome to the waterways of Las Olas Isles. This iconic neighborhood is favored by many as the best waterfront home neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale. The Las Olas Isles represents the quintessential waterfront living in South Florida. One of the reasons for the appeal is the location between downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beaches. Another is the quick access to boating and fishing close to the Port Everglades ocean inlet.

Las Olas Isles unites the exclusive communities of Nurmi Isles, Seven Isles, Riviera Isles, and Idlewyld. Lifestyle highlights in Las Olas Isles include deepwater canals, non-fixed bridges with direct ocean access, and waterfront homes with private docks. When not engaging in the waterfront lifestyle, Las Olas Isles residents enjoy life on the famed Las Olas Boulevard. The boulevard is an entertainment destination with restaurants, boutiques, sidewalk cafes, and clubs.

Coral Ridge Isles

Welcome to the waterways of Coral Ridge, which was named this because of the area’s natural coral ridge. Initially developed in the 1940s, a recent surge of new construction waterfront homes is invigorating the neighborhood. The waterfront homes are on wide canal-front isles with immediate access to the Intracoastal Waterway. The area is a boater’s delight, with equal-distance ocean access at Port Everglades and Hillsboro Inlet.

The southern portion of Coral Ridge is home to a top-rated public school (Bayview Elementary) and Coral Ridge Yacht Club, while the northern part is home to the Coral Ridge Country Club. Coral Ridge County Club has been a mainstay in the community for almost seventy years. This neighborhood is a close-knit community connected by a scenic drive that meanders along the waterways and parks.

Rio Vista Isles

Rio Vista Isles is a top-selling waterfront home neighborhood in Ft Lauderdale. It is one of the original neighborhoods in Fort Lauderdale and dates back to a time when trade on the river was of commercial importance. Its name Rio Vista is Spanish and means “River View.” The area is situated just South of downtown Fort Lauderdale and is rife with mature trees and historic homes. This added charm adds to the lifestyle in Rio Vista.

The isles in Rio Vista are over 120′ across with depths between 4-5 feet. They are ideal for wide vessels with shallow drafts. If dockage is a crucial consideration, our real estate expert Elaine Tatum advises Buyers to check the canal’s depth before purchasing a waterfront home in Rio Vista Isles.

The waterfront lifestyle in Rio Vista Isles is enhanced by proximity to the Lauderdale Yacht Club. Many resident families belong to this club which was established in 1938. It is common to see families

transported by golf carts to the club. Sailing lessons at the club begin at an early age. If Rio Vista sounds like the right choice for you, contact our area expert Elaine Tatum for a neighborhood tour of available waterfront homes.
