1301 River Reach Dr

Built in 1974, this low-rise, five-story condominium complex occupies a gated island setting on Fort Lauderdale’s New River. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, many arranged as corner or split-floor plans that emphasize cross-ventilation and wraparound balconies. Interiors commonly feature original-to-period and updated elements: eat-in kitchens with island or breakfast bars, built-in cabinetry, dual sinks in primary baths, walk-in closets, and combinations of hardwood and tile finishes. Building circulation includes elevator access and ground-level entry; common spaces lean toward recreational and social uses with a clubhouse/bar area, multiple heated pools, tennis courts, gym/exercise room, and outdoor living amenities such as BBQs, patios, garden areas and kayak/paddleboard storage. The waterfront community provides 24-hour manned security at a guarded gate, private dockage for owners ( slips typically up to about 50–52 feet when available), storm shutters and impact doors, plus convenient on-site storage. Pet rules are restrictive but pet-friendly for small animals. The property’s island location places it minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas Boulevard, close to beaches, restaurants, shopping and the airport, supporting a water-oriented, active residential lifestyle without high-rise density.
