Fort Lauderdale Homes with Private Docks: What to Check Before Buying (2026)

Fort Lauderdale Luxury Waterfront Homes & Boca Raton Luxury Real Estate
Fort Lauderdale luxury waterfront homes and Boca Raton luxury real estate sit on a narrow strip of coastline where price is driven less by square footage than by water. A no-fixed-bridge canal home in Fort Lauderdale, a direct-ocean condo on Galt Ocean Mile, and a golf-community estate in Boca Raton can carry the same list price and behave like three completely different assets. Simon Gedz has been working these micro-markets since 1995 — the goal here is to give you the same read on a property that an experienced local agent would give a friend.
