Riverside-living in southern Florida
Located midway between Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale, the Fair Gate community combines a southern Florida lifestyle with waterfront living along the Stranahan River. Outdoor recreation can be routine here from strolling along the paved paths throughout the community to playing pick-up basketball games at Southgate Park. Residents here take their time and enjoy leisure activities like fishing on the Stranahan River or visiting the private Woodmont Country Club for golf or tennis. Homes here were constructed in the 1970s and feature unique designs and architecture – some with stucco or others with stone facades. Locals take advantage of a well-rooted community and continue to maintain a small-town community feel through local eateries like El Recreo Bakery and events. “Fair Gate is pretty active throughout the year with the Fair at Margate nearby — It’s also going through a bit of revitalization and is working to expand by implementing updates and renovations throughout the area,” says Kevin Morris, long-time local and Realtor at The Morris Group. From scenic views of the Stranahan River to the crashing waves at Pompano Beach just 6 miles East, Fair Gate offers a range of homes and a lifestyle that should not be overlooked.

Walk, climb and picnic at Southgate Park
When seeking time outdoors, residents can visit Southgate Park at the center of the community. Children can climb on the jungle gym, while teens shoot hoops on the basketball courts and parents exercise at the onsite fitness area. Bicyclists can explore the Cypress Creek Greenway Bike Path, which runs from the Everglades to the Atlantic Ocean and meets the Fair Gate neighborhood between the Stranahan River and Southgate Boulevard. Golf enthusiasts are in luck with the private Woodmont Country Club nearby, offering 27 holes perfect for fine-tuning a golf swing. The facility features a tennis center, fitness center and restaurant with a full bar for participating members. For views of swamp lands and cypress trees, nature lovers can head to the Herman and Dorothy Shooster Nature Preserve for 20 acres of greenery to explore. Visitors can enjoy an elevated walkway and overlook, along with picnic tables for outdoor dining. Birdwatching is common here along with sights of butterflies, frogs and turtles. With the Atlantic Ocean nearby, locals can sunbathe on the Pompano Beach shoreline or cool off in the water during the warmer months.

Waterfront Ranch-styles and multi-family homes
Fair Gate features a variety of home styles ranging from Traditional ramblers and Spanish Ranch-styles to multi-family condos and stucco townhouses. Palm tree-lined streets allow residents to navigate on paved walking paths throughout the community. Fair Gate boasts subdivision options from riverfront properties in Southgate Fifth to multi-family townhouses in the Kimberly Townhomes and 55 and older condo communities like Applegreen on the eastern side of the community. Most homes here do not have Homeowners Associations, except for the Applegreen subdivision. With a median sales price of $410,000, homes here range from the low $100,000s for a two-bedroom condo to upwards of $600,000 for a four-bedroom ranch-style waterfront property. “Waterfront homes here are blessed with a scenic backdrop of the Stranahan River — which is actually nontidal, meaning that Broward County will not have to adjust the elevation to combat any ebb or flow from the tide,” says Morris, Creator of "Living In Fort Lauderdale" YouTube channel. Waterfront homes along the Stranahan River are subject to increased price points here. Homes here often feature one-car driveways with backyard pools and are typically fronted by mid-sized yards with shrubbery and tropical flora.
