Living here means embracing a slower pace and enjoying the simple pleasures
For people searching for a waterfront lifestyle, a tight-knit community and easy access to vibrant Fort Lauderdale's, the Bal Harbour community might be the perfect Florida match. Living in Bal Harbour means embracing a slower pace and enjoying the simple pleasures – like watching the sunset paint the sky from your backyard or sharing a laugh with neighbors over a plate of fresh seafood. From the swaying palm trees that line narrow canals to the gentle hum of boats intertwined with laughter echoing across manicured lawns, Bal Harbour is more than just a picture to the slightly more than 3,000 people who call it home. Living here also means quick access to some of Fort Lauderdale and Miami’s most exciting destinations. Beaches, art districts and marine adventures beckon. But the best way to get to know Bal Harbour is to attend a community event like the farmer’s market or the boat parade.

Homes with terracotta roofs, waterfront land and high-rise views
Stepping off the main drag puts visitors and residents right into a cauldron of architectural diversity. Bal Harbour isn't defined by a single style. Instead, it's a tapestry woven with Mediterranean-inspired villas, charming ranch-style home and even a splash of contemporary cool. Think terracotta roofs, a pastel palette and expansive windows inviting sunshine and water views. Homes are also found hundreds of feet up in one of the many high-rise apartments, some of which come with panoramic balcony views. Prices reflect this variety, ranging from cozy single-family homes starting in the mid-$500,000 range to waterfront mansions exceeding $5 million. Waterfront properties allow homeowners to launch a kayak from the backyard or spot dolphin over breakfast.
