Condominium complexes and pastel-colored ranchers
Housing is divided between condominium complexes and single-family subdivisions with multiple waterfront properties available. Oriole Gardens boasts three different condo buildings that were developed in the 1970s. One-bedroom units begin listing for $85,000, while larger two-bedroom units with updated renovations can top $230,000. “There are a lot of properties on the market right now,” Yeaman says. “It’s very unusual because it has flipped to a strong buyer’s market.” Beyond the complexes, pastel-colored ranchers sit on tree-lined streets with swimming pools in the back. Some houses come with scenic waterfront views as they rest along the banks of the Stranahan River. Single-family builds are priced between $400,000 and $600,000, and the majority of residents own their homes. The neighborhood is at risk for flood and hurricane damage due to its proximity to the coast. Broward County provides resources to understand the associated risks and information regarding flood and wind insurance.
