Coral Ridge Fort Lauderdale
Homes For sale in Coral Ridge emerge from around 1,350 single-family houses (in the majority) amid condo towers and townhouses developed from 1949 to new construction on knockdown lots evident even today. As a result, the area looks and feels similar to other South Florida boating communities (see below under competitive options).
Intracoastal banks define Coral Ridge on its east side, with main thoroughfares Federal Highway, Sunrise, and Oakland Boulevards bordering it in the west, south, and north, respectively. On the same latitude line south of Oakland is the massive enclave Coral Ridge Country Club (CRCC), arguably the most misrepresented neighborhood name in the state. Why? Because most of the over 5,000 homes within it are not on the country club campus. And the few that qualify are mostly not club members in terms of a non-equity arrangement where the CC has disconnected itself from the residences lining its course fairways and waterways. At any rate, please don't confuse Coral Ridge Country Club with Coral Ridge; they're independent developments.
Homebuyers, investors, and construction companies actively acquire pre-1960 vintage homes to knock down (or renovate) and replace with mansions. As a result, the regeneration trend creates an eclectic feel of old coastal Mediterranean architecture mixed in with contemporary or ultra-modern structures.
So, enter this ungated development, the home to the famous Coral Ridge Yacht Club and Marina, to discover a combination of waterfront and dry lot SF residences. Indeed, one of the primary attractions of living in Coral Ridge on a canal or direct Intracoastal lot is having a slip in one's backyard (up to 100'). In this regard, there's a notable division in the landscape:
- Bayview Drive (running north to south) bisects Coral Ridge, with all canal location houses east of it featuring private dockage (as described above) with easy entry into the mainstream Intracoastal and no fixed bridges to the ocean inlets.
- Residences west of Bayview Drive are mostly dry lots. However, those homeowners on the Middle River generally don't invest in huge yachts because fixed bridges obstruct passage to the Atlantic.
A range of HOAs applies to Coral Ridge, which encompasses many subsections. For example, condo tower HOAs levy their members between 50 cents and $1 per square foot of condo ownership per month, taking HOA monthly fees to as high as $1500 for a 1500-square-foot unit (UA). In return, condo/townhouse owners can expect some or all of the following:
- Clubhouses with media rooms, games rooms, and libraries.
- 24/7 high-tech security.
- Heated pools, hot tubs & sundecks.
- Fitness centers with saunas.
- Underground allocated parking.
- High-speed elevators.
- Concierge services, property managers on-site & door attendants.
- Manicured gardens.
- Tennis & pickleball courts.
- BBQs & boat docking.
- Roof & building maintenance and insurance.
On the other hand, canal-centric and dry lot SF homeowners in ungated enclaves pay $0 HOA fees because they don't require any of the above (or take care of the amenities for themselves.) Thus, reviewing HOA fees is a priority when our agents assist clients interested in Coral Ridge.

Map of Coral Ridge Homes in Fort Lauderdale
From everything the above has shown us, Coral Ridge is a good upscale neighborhood, where one would expect many homeowners to sell their homes on the MLS with one of the following objectives:
- Single Family residences (SFRs) - Sell for the land value (i.e., as a knockdown) for reconstruction.
- Condos, townhomes, and SFRs - Sell with the intention that buyers continue to live in the units without significant renovation after closing. In the latter case, sellers have remodeled sufficiently to create intense buyer interest. These upgrades include:
-
- New roofs and air conditioning.
- Installing high-impact windows and doors.
- Replacing dated ceramics and kitchen fittings with the latest granite, marble, wood, and metal building materials.
- Converting kitchens to gourmet status with custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and open-plan reconfigurations.
- Fantastic smart-home technologies, spa bathrooms, and floating vanities.
- Private pools, summer kitchens, and gazebos (only SFRs).
The ZFC team analyzed pricing for the fifteen months starting January 2022 to see if the reality confirmed expectations. This is what we found:
- A new construction (2015) contemporary home of 4,400 square feet (UA) on a canal sold for over $1,000 per square foot (UA).
- An internally renovated 1955 vintage home of nearly 2,000 square feet (UA) on an oversized dry lot closed for $665 per square foot (UA).
- A 2008 townhouse of nearly 3,000 square feet (UA) fetched $412 per square foot (UA)
- A 587-square-foot condo (1973) with zero enhancement on the original developer handover valued at $255 per square foot.
- A 2023 out-of-the-box new construction on the Intracoastal - 5,425 square feet (UA) - went for $3.5 million ($645 per square foot UA). This was a bargain, considering that new canal homes (one example above) sell for more than $1,000 per square foot (UA)
- A knockdown property on a dry lot, which the buyer acquired for $455 per square foot (UA).
