South Corals’ close community feel in flourishing Oakland Park
South Corals is an urban neighborhood that sits near everything the growing city of Oakland Park has to offer without sacrificing the classic peaceful Florida atmosphere. The area is situated in the southeast corner of Oakland Park, its narrow streets lush with tropical greenery. As part of the larger Corals community, which stretches up and down East Oakland Park, South Corals stands out with its abundant flora and a pseudo-small-town vibe. "People are drawn to this pocket's small community feel," says Lori Schlueb, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Preferred and a former Oakland Park resident. "The waterway makes it less accessible by main roads, especially over the bridge, so people can walk with their kids or walk their dogs without heavy traffic." Lined by protected mangroves, this waterway gives South Corals the look of a natural preserve, making it seem as though these streets don't belong to a city at all. Residents here have water and local park access often within walking distance, along with restaurants, health care, shopping centers and various education options, making it a convenient Oakland Park home base.

South Corals homes cater to diverse preferences
South Corals is HOA-free, giving residents free rein when it comes to renovating, redesigning and redecorating their properties. "Most of these homes were constructed by a few different builders," Schlueb says. "So, there are unique styles at every couple of homes. For example, my property is a new construction, built 10 years ago. It was a vacant lot before. A few houses down, you'll find a home built in 1940. A nice eclectic variety of homes draws different people to the neighborhood." Architecture here varies from minimal traditional and Spanish ranch-style homes to sprawling estates and bungalows. "Compared to Wilton Manors in Fort Lauderdale just south, you get 300 or 400 more square feet for $100,000 less," Schlueb says. What's more, the city has natural gas pipes underground. "Some homes have it piped in, so it's there if you want it," Schlueb says. "In Fort Lauderdale, you have to get big propane tanks delivered and filled every so often." Market prices in South Corals range roughly from the mid-to-high $600,000s to $1.3 million, with outliers on either ends of the scale. While most homes are single-family properties, multifamily homes, including townhouses and condominiums, can be found on the neighborhood's west side, right by downtown, or south in the Coral Brook area.
