Coral Heights is a small area of Fort Lauderdale north of Oakland Park Blvd, between Federal Highway to the east and Dixie Highway on the west. Though technically within the boundaries of the city of Oakland Park, many simply consider Coral Heights to be another great “East Fort Lauderdale” neighborhood; located within close proximity to great schools, shopping and dining, and only ten minutes to beautiful Fort Lauderdale beach.

Homes throughout Coral Heights can be found along the shores of 2 large lakes offering beautiful wide water vistas, several canals with fixed bridges, or on dry lots along quiet residential streets. Neighborhood demographics are typical of most East Fort Lauderdale locales, with a wide variety of young families, adult couples, singles and empty nesters, along with some second homeowners. The typical home in Coral Heights is often ranch-style, 2-3 bedrooms with about 1300 to 2000 square feet, with 1-2 car garage or carport attached, and very often a pool in the backyard. It is not uncommon to drive through the neighborhood and see newer roofs and windows, fantastic landscaping, and an obvious sense of pride in ownership. Located in the heart of Coral Heights are the Villas of Coral Heights Townhomes. With less than seventy 3-story townhomes situated on just over 4 lush acres, the Villas are a popular location, boasting amenities and features often reserved for high end luxury condos, with a much more affordable price tag.

One great advantage of living in Coral Heights is its enviable location, close to many conveniences and amenities. Bordering the neighborhood on the east is Federal Highway (US1) with its many retail stores and restaurants. Less than 10 minutes to the east is the beautiful Coral Ridge Country Club with its classically-designed Robert Trent Jones, Jr. golf course. Just a little further beyond and across the Intracoastal is world-famous Fort Lauderdale Beach. To the southeast, you can find Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, and the Galleria Mall with its upscale shopping and dining, and bustling Pompano Beach is just to the north.

Coral Heights truly embodies everything great about Fort Lauderdale living, with its suburban feel right in the middle of the city, and easy access to many conveniences.
