Beachside living in Fort Lauderdale's Central Beach

Bayshore Embassy Condominiums, a five-story residential complex completed in 1970, stands as a fixture in Fort Lauderdale's vibrant Central Beach neighborhood. With 64 units, this mid-rise building offers residents a prime location just blocks from the sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The straightforward design of the structure, featuring a combination of painted stucco and accent panels, reflects the practical, no-frills approach of its era while providing comfortable living spaces for its occupants.

Diverse layouts with intracoastal views

Bayshore Embassy Condominiums offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom homes.

Two-bedroom units vary from 680 to 1,200 square feet, offering more room for families or those desiring extra space. These units typically rent for around $2,000 per month.

Kitchens in updated units feature quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and sleek, contemporary cabinetry. Bathrooms have also received attention, with stylish upgrades enhancing their functionality and aesthetic appeal. A standout feature of many units is the private balcony or terrace, offering residents breathtaking views of the Intracoastal Waterway. These outdoor spaces serve as perfect spots for morning coffee or evening relaxation, allowing residents to soak in the Florida sunshine and watch boats sail by. Inside, the units often showcase impact-resistant windows, providing both safety during severe weather and excellent sound insulation from the bustling beach area. Some apartments feature walk-in closets, adding valuable storage space. The open floor plans in many units create a sense of spaciousness, with natural light flooding in through oversized windows, highlighting the polished tile or luxury vinyl flooring.
