Living in Fort Lauderdale

Canals, beaches and a busy downtown

Fort Lauderdale has an extensive network of canals and waterways, a public beach along the Atlantic, and a downtown with offices, condos and the Riverwalk.

Las Olas Boulevard is the main street for shops and restaurants, and the Riverwalk connects downtown to the arts district along the New River. Port Everglades, the airport and the downtown Brightline station are all close.

Good to know: For waterfront homes, check dock depth at low tide, bridge clearance to the ocean and the seawall's condition and age.

What this page covers: Numbers and listings cover homes with a Fort Lauderdale address in the MLS, which can include nearby unincorporated areas.
