Bay Colony Fort Lauderdale
Bay Colony is a 24/7 gated Fort Lauderdale community bordering the Intracoastal on its eastern border, with Commercial Boulevard just south of it and Federal Highway to the east. A unique feature of Bay Colony is a network of canals running through the real estate footprint, giving all 108 single family homes a deep-water connection and a boat dock (up to 100') in the backyard. Bay Colony Fort Lauderdale is a secure 24/7 guard gated community directly on the water, a feature that many waterfront communities in South Florida lack.
Although developers completed their project in the early 1970s, Bay Colony is a regeneration neighborhood in a booming Fort Lauderdale real estate market. As a result, almost every MLS listing promotes their home by offering upgrades similar to what new construction offerings routinely include. The primary difference is they emerge as renovations to old Florida Addison Mizner Mediterranean styling versus significantly larger contemporary or ultra-modern exteriors.

Bay Colony Fort Lauderdale Pricing Analysis
We analyzed prices for 2022 and three months into 2023 (note - prices change, so keep checking these pages for updates). Here are the salient take-home observations:
- Only three Bay Colony homes sold in a hot Fort Lauderdale real estate market (between $3 million and $11,200,000), reflecting surprisingly wide price gaps per square foot (UA) as follows:
- $490 - for a 1970 vintage residence (6,122 square feet UA).
- $858 - for a 1988 vintage 10,000+ square foot UA mansion.
- $1,085 - for a 2019 new construction estate (over 10,000 square feet UA).
The picture above shows price gaps and disconnects that can be severely confusing to home buyers. The way around it is to appraise the home values accurately, and we know how to do that. We'll get you across the line to your next dream home - condo or mansion - leaving no money on the table for the seller. Our reputation rides on the big money we've saved our clients in boating and other communities throughout South Florida.
Prime Fort Lauderdale Location
Living in a gated suburb doesn't exclude homeowners from everything a modern city offers. Around the corner, residents can access sophisticated shopping centers containing boutique outlets, national chains, mega supermarkets, coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. Short drives in all directions, and you arrive at private or public golf courses, white sand beaches, excellent schools (see below), parks, trails, tennis & pickleball venues, fitness centers, an international airport, clinics, and Fort Lauderdale downtown's vibrant action.
Alternatives to Bay Colony
Competition in the boating category is intense. Our favorites delivering no fixed bridges to the Intracoastal and the Atlantic Ocean cover many cities:
- First, look at Fort Lauderdale's Landings - but only the MLS listings east of Bayview Drive. Also, Bermuda Riviera is a must-see premium community.
- In other cities, we recommend Boca Raton and Delray Beach options - Boca Bay Colony, Golden Harbour, The Sanctuary, Royal Palm Yacht Club, Boca Marina, and Tropic Isle.
