Currently there are 2388 Fort Lauderdale condos for sale in this price range – so there is plenty of selection.
Of these 2388 condos currently for sale 464 are oceanfront units

We can also see from this report that the median price is $329,000 – this being for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom oceanfront condo for sale of 1050 square feet
What is important to note however from this report is that these numbers represent condos for sale across Greater Fort Lauderdale and do not take into account individual neighborhoods.
Fort Lauderdale like any city varies by the block and while overall many parts of Fort Lauderdale are popular with the gay community – there are some communities / neighborhoods that are less popular – ones that as a Gay Fort Lauderdale Realtor – I personally would not recommend.

Important for buyers of Fort Lauderdale oceanfront condos to take into account – is that often times there will be a trade-off – between unit size and neighborhood / location.
Often time buyers come in with a specific desire to be in a popular gay neighborhood – however they find that their options in this price range can be limited.
As one of our companies top Gay Fort Lauderdale Realtors – I can guide you on other options, in communities that are gay friendly and popular with the Gay/LGBT community.

Note: As you increase unit size in this price range you tend to move further away from central Fort Lauderdale and away from some the more popular gay friendly neighborhoods.
There are however still many great neighborhoods /communities that are popular with the Gay/LGBT community that are well worth considering.
Featured Neighborhood
North Beach
In each post I like to feature a popular gay friendly neighborhood.
A popular neighborhood with Fort Lauderdale Gay Realtors including myself is North Beach – a great neighborhood set between the Intracoastal and the Ocean!
Currently in the popular and gay friendly neighborhood of North Beach here in Fort Lauderdale there are 31 condos for sale – down a little from 34 condos for sale in our last post!
