Beachfront Homes & Condos in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Direct-ocean and steps-to-sand properties in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, updated from the MLS.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a low-rise beach town with a walkable village center, a fishing pier and the only living coral reef within swimming distance of a Florida shoreline.
This is a beach community rather than a boating one — most buyers come for the sand, the reef and the walkability rather than for dockage.
Direct-ocean property in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea carries its own diligence list: flood zone and elevation certificate, windstorm coverage, erosion and dune history, and — for condos — the building's structural reserve position. Height restrictions keep the skyline low, which protects both the character and the values. Older boutique condo buildings dominate; single-family homes east of A1A are scarce and command a premium.
