Imperial Point
Locals live the sandy life at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Beach
Sunbathing and sandcastles at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Beach are 3 miles east of Imperial Point. The small town at the beach hosts monthly music nights, dancing on the sand, farmers’ markets and yoga events alongside open beach hours. To the south, residents who want to practice their putting performance can visit the Coral Ridge Country Club, which features two full courses and a training facility. The club also offers swimming, tennis and onsite dining. Locals in Imperial Point can enjoy days out with pets and little ones at Sgt. Kip A. Jacoby Park, 2 miles north of the neighborhood. The park offers tennis courts, a walking track and a playground alongside shelters available for rent. 3 miles south of the neighborhood, Bayview Park provides a basketball court, a pavilion and fields for soccer and basketball. The closest park to the Imperial Point area, Dottie Mancini Park, closed indefinitely at the end of 2023.
Updated ranch-style homes and condos
Most of the Imperial Point area’s home stock is made up of ranchers with touches of Spanish and Mission architecture from the 1960s and 1970s. “People are gutting these houses and giving them new roofs, new windows and remodeled interiors. The location is so important that it doesn't matter what's there; people want to live here," Kroll says. Entry-level condominiums with minimal updates start at $100,000 and luxury single-family homes on the waterfront can net more than $1 million on the market. The typical single-family home in Imperial Point sells for about $880,000, with three to four bedrooms and an updated interior.
Music and sports bars by the beach
Up-and-coming bands and local acts perform on the stage at Radio-Active Records, a music store connected to the independent scene in South Florida. Varied arts programs and events also happen at the Pompano Beach Amphitheatre, 4 miles north of the neighborhood. Locals can also relax with a beer at the High Dive Bar, practice their poker faces with fantasy Texas Hold’em at Brendan’s Sports Pub, or try the non-alcoholic kava beverages at Awa Na Zen Kava Bar.
Seafood dining by the water and reliable big box stores
Situated on the C-14 Canal, Brewfish Bar and Grill offers seared tuna, fish sandwiches and lobster near the area’s northwest corner on 15th Street. One block over to the east, RGS Steakhouse offers Brazilian rodizio-style dining. Many of Imperial Point’s other dining options are concentrated on the neighborhood’s east side near Federal Highway, with local choices like Larb Thai-Isan, Michael’s Cafe and KAIZEN Sushi Bar & Grill standing alongside nationally known brands like Bonefish Grill, Panera Bread and Red Lobster. Retail stops include Publix, Walmart Neighborhood Market, JOANN, Dollar Tree and Ross locations just north of the neighborhood along North Federal Highway.Student-driven magnet programs at Broward County Schools
