Living next to Lauderdale-By-The-Sea in Knoll Ridge

For people looking to live in the best of sunny Florida, Knoll Ridge borders the action while maintaining a residential and community feel. “What’s convenient about the neighborhood is how close it is to the airport, to the beach, to restaurants and cute little coffee shops,” says Realtor Laura Hinterschied with Julian Soffer Team of Keller Williams Realty. She's a former Fort Lauderdale resident. “It’s all within walking distance. A bike ride to the beach would take about 15 minutes.” In Knoll Ridge, residents live on quiet streets shaded with Spanish moss and palm trees, and they can relax in their backyard pools.

Ranches with a coastal feel and condos with breezeways

Houses in Knoll Ridge are typically ranches dating back to the 1950s and 60s, with many sporting Spanish and coastal influences, so even residential areas feel beachy. "The neighborhood is really inviting,” Hinterschied says. “Doing open houses there is fun because of the neighbors. They would come in for a peek at the flipped house and chat.” Most homes have a circular driveway, and some may also have a single-car garage. Landscaping is common, especially in the circle of grass the driveway creates. Sidewalks are uncommon here, but neighborhoods that do have them feature more narrow options, with room for only one person. Houses in Knoll Ridge have varied pricing, depending on how close the properties are to Lauderdale-By-The-Sea’s downtown area along Commercial Boulevard. They tend to list between $750,000 and $1 million. Montclair Gardens offers low-rise one-bedroom condos with long breezeways listing for closer to $175,000.
