Accessible 55-plus community with commercial centers nearby

Oriole Gardens is more than just a 55-plus community in South Florida. It is a viable opportunity for homeowners to get their own slice of the Sunshine State. “The neighborhood is special because it represents an option for homeowners to own something that is affordable and centrally located,” says Helena Yeaman, local broker associate at REMAX Direct. “Residents can walk to shopping, restaurants and they’re right next to the mall.” While the neighborhood's name comes from the three condominium buildings known as “Oriole Gardens,” single-family homes are also available on tree-lined streets nearby. No matter where residents end up, multiple transportation routes connect them to vibrant commercial centers and green area parks.

Spend a day at Veterans Memorial Park

The neighborhood has multiple on-site amenities for residents to enjoy, with each condo complex having its own tennis courts, swimming pools and indoor clubhouse. Residents can peruse the stacks of books found at the library or shoot some pool in the billiards room. Veterans Memorial Park sits along the banks of the Stranahan River and honors the armed services with a brick memorial lined with plaques honoring Margate’s veterans. Boat ramps and a fishing dock are available for those looking to spend a day on the water, while the Cypress Creek Greenway Bicycle runs across the river and offers miles of trails next to the tranquil blue waters. Sports fields, including a baseball diamond, can be found next door at Oriole Park. Oriole Golf Club is a semi-private facility open to the public and features daily throw-in game opportunities throughout the week.

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.
