Secluded coastal community in Fort Lauderdale

Harbour Isles occupies an appealing stretch of oceanfront on the southeastern tip of Fort Lauderdale Beach where the Stranahan River empties into the Atlantic. Residents enjoy all the amenities of coastal living -- to the beach and beyond -- in a relatively secluded, close-knit community. “It’s a neighborhood where people are always driving by but no one ever goes into. It’s one of the best-kept secrets in Fort Lauderdale,” says Mobley McClellan of Fisher McClellan Real Estate, a fifth-generation Floridian who lives in the area. “Developers are starting to come in, and they say, “Oh my God, I never knew this place existed! It’s an amazing location, and it’s one of those places where people know their neighbors.”

Lago Mar Beach is essentially a private playground

The neighborhood is small enough that all residents are within walking distance of Lago Mar Beach, which is known as the city’s least-trafficked public beach. So it’s more like a private oceanfront destination for those who live nearby. “It’s the widest stretch of beach in Fort Lauderdale, but it has the most restricted access because of parking. There are only 13 parking spots,” McClellan says. Buzzier spots that include the popular Las Olas Beach and its adjacent park line the coast north of the neighborhood. Boaters have access to the surrounding waterways. The Army Corps of Engineers restricts docks so close to the ocean, but boat owners can store their vessels at nearby Pier Sixty-Six Marina or even rent a private dock from homeowners in the neighboring communities. “You generally get boaters, but not big boaters,” McClellan says. “It’s a boating community, but it’s mostly for people with smaller boats.”

Condos and co-ops in well-maintained buildings

A variety of condominium options are offered in the neighborhood. High-rise luxury condos stand out. These buildings typically offer resort-style amenities such as pools and additional high-end amenities that include doormen. One-bedroom units range from $500,000 to $750,000. Two- to four-bedroom options range from around $900,000 to almost $2 million for a beachfront unit. An alternative option is buying a co-op unit. In a co-op set-up, the buyer does not own the specific unit. Instead, they own a share of the building and receive a certificate of occupancy as proof of purchase. Co-op tenants get a say in overall decisions along with the other shareholders, but they do not have the same freedom as condo owners when it comes to their living space. These units, which are typically studio spaces, range from about $200,000 to about $500,000. “The condos and co-ops are older, but they are in extremely well-heeled buildings,” McClellan says. “People have been coming down here for years, so multiple generations live in the same building. It’s not very transient.” The Oceanage offers two-story contemporary condos in the 1.1 million-dollar range. These condos are built like traditional homes and more closely resemble townhouses. They are conveniently nestled between the Stranahan River and the ocean. Additionally appealing is that the typical weather concerns do not exist. “What’s great about us is that we sit up high,” McClellan says. “We’re not in a flood zone.”

Beachfront is home to community events

For those who seek a break from the slower pace of the neighborhood and want to join the community in popular annual events, beachside living offers that option as well. Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, about 2 miles up the coast, hosts one of the city's signature events each spring, the three-day Tortuga Musical Festival. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is held each October. The festivities are based at the Broward County Convention Center on 17th Street.
