Residential enclave near Downtown Fort Lauderdale
Under the year-round sunshine of South Florida, Lake Ridge stands out as a quiet residential enclave near the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale. The neighborhood’s pastel-colored ranch-style homes and townhouses provide an accessible home base for residents to launch their exploration of the vibrant commercial and recreational areas nearby. “It really has a fantastic location that is just convenient to everything,” says Lori Bergman, local real estate professional at Coldwell Banker. “You can walk to the beach if you want, and the Galleria Mall is right across the street; it’s in the middle of everything.” Along with shops and restaurants, Holiday Park sits just south of the neighborhood and serves as the hub for recreation. Lake Ridge’s prime location, combined with its variety of property types, has attracted a wide array of homebuyers ranging from investors to families and young professionals, all looking to get their own slice of South Florida.

Holiday Park attracts professional athletes
Holiday Park is the hub for recreation, spanning over 90 acres of green space just south of the neighborhood. Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home on the park’s baseball diamonds, soccer fields and basketball and tennis courts. Other facilities include hiking trails and a dog park for canine companions. “Holiday Park is just so big and always has tons of events going on,” Bergman says. Live music echoes throughout during the summer as part of the Starlight Musical Concert series. Visitors can also pop into the Baptist Health IcePlex, the official practice facility of the NHL’s Florida Panthers. The Parker is a famous performing arts theatre nearby that hosts year-round Broadway plays and musical touring acts in a 1,1600+ capacity space. Down the street, residents enjoy exploring the lush Florida landscape by land or sea at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. And the lapping shores of Fort Lauderdale Beach are just 2 miles away.

Pastel-colored ranchers and backyard pools
Under the shade of towering palm trees lies an array of quaint Florida ranchers with pastel colors and tiled roofs. This is the predominant single-family style within the neighborhood, and many buildings have well-manicured front lawns and backyard swimming pools. Numerous properties were constructed in the 1950s and 60s, but the area is seeing an influx of recent renovations. “Investors have come in and developed a lot of property,” Bergman says. “There’s a lot of brand-new townhouses, and everything is updated and modern.” Single-family builds range between $700,000 and $1.5 million, while contemporary townhouses sell for $1 million to $1.3 million. Recently constructed ultra-moderns are scattered throughout and can top $3 million. The market is very competitive, and houses here sell quickly, notes Bergman. Lake Ridge is at risk for flooding and lies in a FEMA-designated Flood Zone Area. Flood insurance is highly recommended, and the City of Fort Lauderdale provides numerous resources on its website.
