Playa Del Mar

The Galt Ocean Mile is a unique real estate strip running parallel to the A1A on its eastern side, taking advantage of 1,700 yards of Fort Lauderdale beach frontage divided between 30 towers that emerged starting in 1958 and ended in 2003. A couple of hundred yards west of the coastal road lies the Intracoastal, stamping the area as aqua-centric from every vantage point.
The Galt Ocean Mile real estate from end to end changed hands in the early 1950s for $16 million to the construction companies responsible for erecting high-rise sky homes, conservatively valued in 2023 around $5 billion (collectively) - 281 times the original land pricing. And it's no wonder.
How come? Simply look at what fell into the lap of buyers of 1975-vintage Playa Del Mar condos for sale - as a primary example: The latter emerged from 370 units in a 29-story building ranging in size from 1,088 to 2,140 square feet under air (UA) with high-impact windows and sliders, and expansive glass-railed balconies.

Community residents living there for years but selling in 2022 (our price analysis window) haven't stood still regarding the creative remodeling of their interiors. We have noticed MLS listings renovated from corner to corner with the latest building materials. These include engineered wood on wide-plank flooring, imported marble & porcelain, granite full splashbacks, onyx countertops, premium Gaggenau, Bosch, Thermador, and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances, spa bathrooms with floating vanities, recessed lighting, smart-home electronics, and more. But, of course, some units reflect little enhancements of original developer handovers.
Pricing Of Playa Del Mar Condos
The main points derived from looking at the complex’s MLS closed deals are as follows:
- Prices ranged Between $400,000 for the smallest unit (see above) and $1,100,000 for not even the biggest model but fully upgraded.
- Cost per square foot (UA) ranged from $346 to $667.
The price gap above is massive (over $300 per square foot UA), signifying that premium positions in the tower, direct Atlantic ocean views vs pool views, and level of remodeling substantially impact values.
