109 Lake Emerald Dr

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1981 and arranged across three stories, this community centers on lakeside, resort-style living along a 168-acre man-made lake. Units are predominantly two-bedroom, two-bath floorplans with features common to mid-rise Florida condos: balconies or screened terraces facing the water, split-bedroom layouts, walk-in closets, and a mix of tile and laminate flooring. Buildings cluster around extensive shared grounds that include mature landscaping, gardens, courtyards and waterfront walkways. Resident amenities are comprehensive and intended for active, social lifestyles: multiple heated pools and spas, a main pool with snack bar/cafe, fitness center, sauna and jacuzzi, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, barbecue/pergola areas, and boat/paddleboard access for casual recreation. The property operates as a gated community with 24-hour guard access and an on-site management presence; association fees commonly cover water and cable and often include internet and trash services. Practical building services and protections include elevator access in some blocks, covered parking options and ongoing community maintenance programs such as roof and stucco projects. The complex is pet friendly with modest pet size limits, allows immediate rentals in many units and is positioned for convenient regional access—minutes from I-95, nearby beaches, Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale airport—supporting both year-round residents and seasonal occupants.
