111 Lake Emerald Dr

A low-rise, four-story condominium complex built in 1981, Lake Emerald occupies a gated, landscaped campus oriented around a 168-acre freshwater lake. The community is composed primarily of two-bedroom units arranged in stacked configurations with a mix of first-floor and top-floor residences; many homes feature screened or private balconies with lake or sunset views. Unit interiors vary from original finishes to extensively updated kitchens and baths, often including tile or waterproof laminate floors, updated HVAC and water heaters, built-in cabinetry, pantry space, dual sinks, walk-in closets and in-unit laundry in select homes. Common building attributes include elevator access, secure entry to Building H, storm-impact doors and windows, and balcony/deck options. Shared amenities read like a resort: three heated pools and spas, saunas, a clubhouse with a bar and programmed activities, a fitness center with classes, tennis and pickleball courts, walking/biking paths around the lake, barbecue areas, a small beach and boat/kayak access with a fishing pier. The association provides extensive services—water, sewer, trash and basic cable/Internet among them—and enforces pet and leasing rules (small-pet friendly, owner/tenant credit requirements). Parking is surface-level near each building; 24-hour gated security controls community access. The site’s lakeside setting and on-campus recreation make it a predominantly lifestyle-driven complex convenient to I-95, Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale and nearby beaches.
