Within the gated subdivision of Lauderdale Isles in the city of Fort Lauderdale are several homes overlooking the famed Intracoastal Waterway and near convenient roadways such as 441 and Interstate 95. Also close by are top schools and colleges like Broward Community College and Nova Southeastern University. The Lauderdale Isles homes themselves are designed for single families and come with bedroom carpeting, wood floors, roomy walk-in closets and sizzling Jacuzzis. Expect to pay more than six figures for one of the more lavish properties.
The near the beachfront Shady Banks community has a number of properties depicting a sleek, contemporary design as well as several that were originally custom built by previous owners. Look for the refreshingly uncommon interior studios and atriums alongside the ceramic flooring, screened porches and vaulted ceilings in the curiously titled neighborhood of Shady Banks.
Moments away from Fort Lauderdale International Airport and just west of Interstate 95 is the water's edge community of Riverland, 1,000 to over 2,000 square feet homes containing stylish French doors, graceful roman tubs, residence foyers, sparkling swimming pools and much, much more. Melrose Community Park and the Secret Woods Nature Center are located north and south of Riverland, in that order.
