Fort Lauderdale—Not Just For Spring Break Anymore
I have seen Fort Lauderdale transform itself from a legendary Spring Break destination into one of the world’s premier and vibrant coastal cities. It’s an attractive alternative to Miami’s congestion but offers its own brand of world-class shopping, dining and the arts. Moreover, the city showcases a diverse range of lifestyles, from spectacular ocean villas to high-rise condominiums to waterfront suburban neighborhoods with top schools. Elaborate new resort hotels such as the St. Regis, Trump International and W Fort Lauderdale are making the city a cosmopolitan playground, enhanced by its status as the Yachting Capital of the World and its proximity to the Bahamas and other Caribbean islands.
Fort Lauderdale has become such a global destination that I regularly advertise in three currencies. Within half an hour are three international airports and an executive jetport, making access a breeze. For as little as $1 million, you can buy a high-rise oceanfront condo, while ultra-luxury begins at $5 million for waterfront estates. With just 49 properties directly on the sand, Fort Lauderdale Beach is becoming a sought-after and exclusive neighborhood—very possibly the Malibu of tomorrow.
Even though the luxury market is showing signs of improving, it is still a good time to invest. Whereas a couple years ago, a buyer might have limited options, today the inventory is more exciting, varied and value-driven than ever before.

I love Fort Lauderdale! There is nothing better than calling an internationally recognized resort destination home. Actually, you sold us our waterfront residence 10 years ago, and we’ve been on vacation ever since. Thank you Julie!
