Increasingly know as the “Venice of America,” the beach and waterways create a beautiful focal point and playground for real estate ranging from magnificent waterfront and oceanfront estates, historic residences on tree-lined streets to fully resort-amenitized condominium communities and the latest luxury condominium-hotel opportunities. Fort Lauderdale ranks fifth in the US in percentage of homes in excess of $1 Million.

The spring break stigma has been replaced by a city boasting a thriving downtown commercial district, vibrant cultural arts and entertainment centers. Fort Lauderdale is home to the annual Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival. Home choices range from oceanside residential communities, the navigable waterways of Las Olas, the private and secure gated waterfront communities of Harbor Beach, Sea Ranch Lakes and Bay Colony. Suburban waterfront communities such as The Landings, Coral Ridge Country Club and Coral Ridge offer great schools and fast access to shopping and fine dining, major highways and preference of international and executive airports.

Fort Lauderdale has also earned international recognition as the yachting capital of the world with over 42,000 resident yachts and as the host of the annual International Boat Show. Serious yacht owners are drawn by the deep waterways, easy access to the Bahamas, and other island destinations.

Averaging 249 days of annual sunshine while enjoying 23 miles of beaches, fine shopping and dining, a flourishing arts and cultural foundation and ever-expanding business potential, Fort Lauderdale is the perfect place to live!

It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome and virtual real estate introduction to you. I look forward to opening the door to your luxury real estate residence.
