The Landings is one of northeast Fort Lauderdale's most quietly coveted waterfront neighborhoods. Tucked between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal Waterway just south of Bay Colony and north of Coral Ridge Country Club Estates near Commercial Boulevard, the neighborhood offers a distinctly residential character that feels removed from the surrounding commercial corridors while remaining genuinely convenient to everything Fort Lauderdale has to offer. For serious buyers who have been researching Fort Lauderdale waterfront neighborhoods The Landings is frequently the one they wish they had found sooner.
The Landings sits in the northeastern quadrant of Fort Lauderdale bounded by Federal Highway to the west, the Intracoastal Waterway to the east, Bay Colony to the north, and Commercial Boulevard to the south. The neighborhood is part of the broader Landings, Lake Estates, and Bay Colony corridor that represents some of the most desirable residential real estate in northeast Fort Lauderdale. The Landings Residential Association actively serves the community maintaining neighborhood standards and keeping residents informed and connected.
The majority of homes in The Landings sit directly on waterfront canals and many feature private docks. Homes on the east side of Bayview Drive offer Intracoastal access and the neighborhood has fixed bridges with clearance of approximately 10.5 feet depending on tide which limits vessel size on interior canals. This is an important distinction for serious boaters comparing The Landings against deeper water no fixed bridge communities like Bay Colony or Las Olas Isles. Buyers whose primary consideration is accommodating a larger vessel should understand this before making a decision. Buyers who want waterfront living, dock access, and Intracoastal proximity without the premium price tag of the most exclusive Fort Lauderdale addresses will find The Landings offers exceptional value within the northeast Fort Lauderdale waterfront market.
The neighborhood appeals to a mix of young professionals, families, and retirees who value waterfront living, tree-lined streets, and easy proximity to the beach, Galleria Mall, Coral Ridge Country Club, and the dining and shopping along Federal Highway and Commercial Boulevard. Blue Moon Fish Company, one of Fort Lauderdale's most celebrated waterfront seafood restaurants, is located just steps from the neighborhood along the Intracoastal.
The Landings consists primarily of single family detached homes with a mix of architectural styles reflecting the neighborhood's mid-century origins and decades of thoughtful renovation and updating. Many homes feature private pools, screened patios, and dock access. The neighborhood offers a range of price points that tend to sit below the most premium Intracoastal addresses like Bay Colony and Las Olas Isles making it one of the more accessible waterfront options in northeast Fort Lauderdale for buyers who want the lifestyle without the highest tier price point.
Homes here vary significantly in size, condition, and level of renovation. Some properties retain their original mid-century character while others have been completely rebuilt or extensively updated to contemporary standards. That variation creates opportunity for buyers at different price points within the same waterfront neighborhood which is unusual in northeast Fort Lauderdale where many communities have more uniform pricing.
The Landings is served by Broward County Public Schools. Bayview Elementary serves much of the northeast Fort Lauderdale area and Fort Lauderdale High School is the assigned public high school for this part of the city. Buyers with school age children should verify specific school assignments through the Broward County school locator as boundaries can change. Private school options within a reasonable drive include Pine Crest School, American Heritage School Broward Campus, Cardinal Gibbons High School, and Westminster Academy.
Blue Moon Fish Company sits steps from the neighborhood along the Intracoastal and is one of Fort Lauderdale's most celebrated waterfront dining destinations. The Galleria Mall on Sunrise Boulevard is minutes north on Federal Highway and offers major retailers, dining, and entertainment. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and multiple Publix locations are convenient to the neighborhood. The Fresh Market is nearby on Federal Highway. For upscale dining and boutique shopping Las Olas Boulevard is approximately 15 minutes south. Lauderdale by the Sea, one of South Florida's most charming beach towns with dining, shopping, and a vibrant waterfront scene, is minutes away along A1A.
The Landings sits in the northeastern quadrant of Fort Lauderdale with easy access to Federal Highway and A1A. Fort Lauderdale Beach is approximately 10 to 15 minutes away. Lauderdale by the Sea beach is minutes away. The Galleria Mall is minutes north on Federal Highway. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is approximately 20 minutes south. Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas Boulevard are roughly 15 minutes away. Bay Colony, one of Fort Lauderdale's only two truly guard gated single family communities, is immediately to the north making The Landings part of one of the most prestigious residential corridors in northeast Fort Lauderdale.
Yes. The majority of homes in The Landings sit on waterfront canals with Intracoastal access and many feature private docks. The neighborhood is located west of A1A between Commercial Boulevard and Bay Colony in northeast Fort Lauderdale.
Most homes in The Landings have Intracoastal access via canal. Buyers and boaters should be aware that the neighborhood has fixed bridges with clearance of approximately 10.5 feet depending on tide which limits vessel size on interior canals. Buyers requiring no fixed bridge deep water access for larger vessels should consider Bay Colony or Las Olas Isles which offer unrestricted ocean access.
The Landings is approximately 10 to 15 minutes from Fort Lauderdale Beach and minutes from Lauderdale by the Sea beach making it one of the more beach accessible waterfront neighborhoods in northeast Fort Lauderdale.
Homes in The Landings currently range from approximately $600,000 to $2,500,000 and above depending on waterfront status, lot size, condition, and level of renovation. Waterfront homes with dock access command a meaningful premium over dry lot properties within the neighborhood.
The Landings has a residential association rather than a mandatory HOA. The Landings Residential Association maintains neighborhood standards and keeps residents informed and connected but does not impose the same mandatory fee structure as a traditional HOA community. Buyers should verify current association status and any applicable fees during due diligence.
The Landings is served by Broward County Public Schools. Bayview Elementary and Fort Lauderdale High School serve much of this area. Buyers should verify specific school assignments through the Broward County school locator as boundaries can change. Private options nearby include Pine Crest School, American Heritage School Broward Campus, Cardinal Gibbons High School, and Westminster Academy.
The Landings is steps from Blue Moon Fish Company, minutes from the Galleria Mall, close to Lauderdale by the Sea beach, and adjacent to Bay Colony one of Fort Lauderdale's most exclusive gated communities. Coral Ridge Country Club, the only golf course in east Fort Lauderdale, is also nearby.
Coral Ridge Country Club Estates and The Landings are both established waterfront neighborhoods in northeast Fort Lauderdale but they attract somewhat different buyers. Coral Ridge Country Club Estates is generally considered the more prestigious of the two addresses, with larger homes, more new construction and full renovations, and the added amenity of the Coral Ridge Country Club, the only private golf course in east Fort Lauderdale. Price points in Coral Ridge Country Club Estates tend to run higher as a result.
The Landings offers a more intimate neighborhood character with primarily mid-century single family homes that tend to be smaller than those in Coral Ridge Country Club Estates. Many homes in The Landings retain their original character with selective updates rather than full rebuilds. For buyers who want a northeast Fort Lauderdale waterfront address with Intracoastal access and dock capability at a more accessible price point The Landings represents strong value within this corridor. Both neighborhoods offer waterfront canal living but Coral Ridge Country Club Estates commands a premium for its larger homes, newer construction, golf course amenity, and overall prestige.
