118 Lake Emerald Dr

A low-rise condominium community built in 1986 with four stories of primarily two-bedroom residences around a 168-acre private lake. Architecture is utilitarian mid‑1980s garden‑style: low buildings clustered around landscaped courtyards and waterfront edges, punctuated by screened patios and balconies that face the water. Units commonly offer split two‑bedroom plans, main‑level primary bedrooms, in‑unit laundry, walk‑in closets, built‑in cabinetry and modest foyer entries; interiors reflect a mix of original details and periodic remodels such as wood or luxury vinyl floors and updated kitchens and baths. The development emphasizes resort-style shared amenities: multiple pools, a hot tub and sauna, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, boating and fishing access, a clubhouse with cafe/bar and organized social events. Exterior features include barbecue and outdoor living areas, storm/security shutters and gated security with controlled entry. Parking is surface and visitor-friendly; the pet policy is permissive in listings. Located in Oakland Park, the community sits a short drive from beaches, Las Olas Boulevard, Wilton Drive shopping and major highways, offering a suburban waterfront lifestyle with easy urban access.
