The waterfront community of Bay Colony can be counted among the most exclusive neighborhoods in Fort Lauderdale. Nestled along the Intracoastal in the northern portion of Fort Lauderdale, this small grouping of peninsulas and canals is accessed where Bayview Drive meets East Cypress Creek Road (NE 62nd Street). With a 24-hour gated entry, the very private Bay Colony is home to magnificent waterfront properties and peaceful, tree-lined streets.

Though developed in the mid-20th century as a typical “suburban subdivision”, the older mid-century ranch-style homes in the neighborhood have slowly given way to newer larger construction with styles indicative of South Florida, ranging from Mediterranean-revival to tropical Florida Keys-style. You’ll find grand rooms, spacious open floor plans, the latest technologies, impeccable landscaping, and all the modern perks and amenities that can be afforded.

A unique feature of Bay Colony real estate is that every home boasts a waterfront location without any fixed bridges to the open water. Dockage starts at 100 feet, making this neighborhood the home port to some of the city’s most coveted vessels. Additional amenities offered to residents here include the 24-hour manned guard gate with accompanying security patrol, convenient access to the beach less than a mile away, proximity to beautiful golf courses, tennis and yacht clubs, the area’s most elite private schools, and plenty of nearby opportunities for upscale dining and shopping.

With grand waterfront estates, secured access, and convenient location to everything Fort Lauderdale has to offer, real estate within the exclusive enclave of Bay Colony is always in demand.
