Town of Lauderdale by the Sea
Lauderdale by the Sea is a small urban beach town boasting over a mile and a half of beautiful, sandy beaches, a fresh ocean breeze, and progressive vibe. Located within 15 minutes to Fort Lauderdale International Airport and Las Olas Blvd the town is filled with some of the best dining experiences in South Florida and has long been a magnet for the beach savvy resident and guest.
The town is populated by approximately 6,000 people, located on the well sought after Barrier Island nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway on the northern end of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Unless by boat, it can only be accessed from the beach boulevard (A1A) northbound from Ft. Lauderdale, southbound from Boca Raton or over the Commercial Boulevard bridge, making the town one of the most exclusive and desirable residential areas in Florida.
Locals and visitors alike take comfort enjoying themselves in one of the safest and most captivating communities in South Florida. Boasting numerous and diverse choices for cuisine, nightlife and boutique shopping, Lauderdale by the Sea presents a major attraction to not only locals, but also the tourists who have discovered its charm. Its close proximity to sightseeing and attractions and easy access to the Intracoastal and pristine beaches is what most people find so desirable.
Almost everything within Lauderdale by the Sea is within walking distance, and the town has plenty to offer. One of the hidden gems known by snorkelers and divers alike are the beautiful coral reefs located just steps from the Commercial Boulevard pier. The legendary SS Copenhagen ship wreck rests under the ocean 3/4 of a nautical mile offshore of Lauderdale by the Sea, and is now an artificial reef home to a plethora of fish and colorful corals.
Beyond its vibrant underwater world, the famous pier is frequented by hobby fisherman, young and old. Jet skis, parasailing, surfing and kite boarding are more favorites for the water sport enthusiast, and for evening entertainment the ocean front Aruba Café entertains with live music while sports fans can enjoy the games on the wide screens at 101 Oceans Bar & Grille and The Village Pump.
The SkY230 project has 24 boat docks on its waterfront seawall, and the next marina is just down the canal to stock up on supplies, while offering room for larger yachts. Direct access to the Intracoastal waterways without fixed bridges offers ideal mooring for sailboats, as well as motorboats up to 35 feet (marina up to 80 feet). Fishing and diving expeditions are available as well as yacht charters and sport boat rentals and are all within walking distance from the residences of SkY230.
Everything in town is within reach by electric golf cart, which is offered with every home purchase and is the most convenient way to get around. This is strongly supported by the town who offers extra space and free parking throughout the Lauderdale by the Sea. A Walgreens Pharmacy and liquor store is only a few hundred feet away, as well as the Publix and Winn Dixie supermarkets, dry cleaners, beauty salons and the local hardware store. Car and bicycle rentals are also just around the corner as are physicians, dentists and chiropractors. The beach is two blocks away from the residences of SkY230, and on the walk to the beach you will pass a wellness center with hot springs offering a special private membership to SkY230 residents.
Easy access, comfort and safety mark the corner stones of the living experience offered at SkY230, and with limited space left for development in town we proudly offer the last four story development of luxury town homes, with ocean view from the roof top terrace that will ever be built in this town.
