Imperial Point Fort Lauderdale
Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale isn't only famous for a spectacular beachfront and broad Intracoastal access on the A1A; it also features165-miles of inland waterways that wind through its diverse neighborhoods. One of the latter is an ungated expansive real estate footprint that borders Federal Highway on its eastern border, between East McNab Road and Commercial Boulevard. Indeed, Homes For sale in Imperial Point are amongst 1470 mostly SF houses - 1,200 to 2,900 square feet under air (UA) - with a few small unit condo towers in the mix.
Ten models, ranging from two bedrooms/two bathrooms to four bedrooms/three bathrooms, defined the accommodations in the 1960 - 1968 vintage residences - favoring the coastal Mediterranean with Tuscan/Spanish Revival touches as an architectural theme. The Haft-Gaines Company initiated the ambitious project on average 100' x 80' lot sizes, visualizing it as a luxury community for retirees and snowbirds. However, they couldn't imagine Imperial Point would balloon into the great mainstream suburb it is today, representing diverse demographics (including young families) in four subdivisions - Point, Westfield, Colonial Ridge, Coral Highlands, and La Bell Harbor.
Notably, on the northwest corner of Imperial Point, there's a trident-shaped intrusion of canals and a section of river that provides backyard aqua-centric vistas to around 130 households with boat docks for small vessels as a bonus. Three points regarding this:
- Boaters leaving Imperial Point face two fixed bridges in getting sea access, thus cutting out the option of the 40-foot (or bigger) yachts one routinely finds on canals east of Bayview Drive and the Intracoastal.
- Buyer-aimed promotions pump images of waterfront SF residences, which are eye-popping, premium positions. However, only one of ten Imperial Point homes entering the MLS is a river/canal location. What does this mean? They don't typify 90% of the neighborhood residences on dry lots.
- Still, wherever residents live in the development, they benefit from tropical foliage flowing throughout the gardens, sidewalks, and trails. The first things that hit newcomers between the eyes are:
(a) The pristine homes (beautifully painted and maintained)
(b) Manicured gardens.
(c) At night - abundant sparkling streetlights.
Naturally, interior finishes grow old after over half a century (since the developer handover.) Nonetheless, homeowners eager to accelerate their asset value have risen to the occasion with some significant remodeling. The latter has ushered in the latest granite, marble, engineered wood, onyx, and metal materials on custom cabinetry, islands, and countertops. In addition, gourmet kitchens, open-plan designs, and premium appliances have kicked dated versions to the curb, alongside newly renovated roofs, air-con systems, and high-impact windows and doors.

Map of Imperial Point Homes in Fort Lauderdale
Over fifteen months into early 2023, the ZFC pricing analysis (beginning in January 2022) discovered that around 114 units closed, with only seven breaching $1 million. However, we see this as a function of:
- Small apartments in the lineup dragging the metrics down.
- The average SF square footage is approximately 1,700 square feet (UA).
Therefore, despite the state's hot property market energizing SF home prices in Imperial Point, it’s still affordable to SF home prospects with budgets under $800,000. Conversely, there's a rare bargain niche for candidates intent on condo living near white sand beaches and city conveniences. Consider that tower prices as low as $177 per square foot (UA) - almost unheard of in a suburb of this caliber - disconnect from MLS SF residence closed values (ranging from $391 to $797 per square foot UA). What it boils down to is that the following drive pricing in Imperial Point:
- Type of residence - multifamily or single-family.
- Paying HOA fees or not. As a rule, condos do (up to 50 cents per square foot of ownership), whereas SF households don't.
- Quality of vistas from inside the homes and backyards.
- Level of remodeling and upgrades.
With startling valuation variances (i.e., $406 in the SF home category, as witnessed above), everything depends on negotiation skills.
