Bal Harbour Fort Lauderdale
Discover Bal Harbour, Fort Lauderdale | Waterfront Living & Exclusive CharmFort Lauderdale's Hidden Waterfront Gem
Tucked away just off US-1 and bordered by the scenic Middle River, Bal Harbour is one of Fort Lauderdale's best-kept secrets. Unlike the bustling oceanfront condo corridors, this intimate, gated community of approximately 144 single-family homes offers unparalleled privacy and suburban tranquility right in the heart of East Fort Lauderdale.
The Middle River Boating Lifestyle
Bal Harbour is a boater's sanctuary. The majority of the community sits directly on the water, offering expansive views and private dockage. With the recently raised bridge heights at Sunrise Boulevard, residents enjoy easier access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. It is also adjacent to a dedicated city watersports zone, making it perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and wakeboarding right from your backyard.
Unmatched Walkability & Convenience
Despite its secluded, private-security atmosphere, Bal Harbour boasts incredible walkability—a rarity for single-family home communities in South Florida. Residents are just a short stroll from premier grocery options like Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's, as well as the boutique shopping and dining along Federal Highway.
