Townhouse for Sale in Central Beach, Fort Lauderdale

Central Beach is a walkable, tourism-oriented beachfront neighborhood with high-rise condos, hotels, restaurants and nightlife concentrated along A1A and the beachfront, with easy access to Las Olas Boulevard and downtown Fort Lauderdale. Housing and rents are generally above the Fort Lauderdale average, with many luxury condos and seasonal rentals; public transit is limited to buses and local trolleys, so residents often rely on walking or cars, and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport is roughly 7 miles away. The climate is warm and humid year-round with hurricane risk and occasional beach erosion; safety and noise levels vary by block and season, so consult Broward County crime data for specifics.

As of 2025, Central Beach is one of Fort Lauderdale’s more expensive neighborhoods due to beachfront and intracoastal oceanfront condos and luxury high-rises. Sales prices and rents typically run above citywide averages, with seasonal demand and resort-style amenities pushing costs higher. Some smaller or older buildings farther from the sand offer relatively lower-priced options, but overall housing and living costs are higher than most Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods.
