1839 Middle River Dr

A five-story waterfront condominium completed in 1972, this boutique mid-rise sits along the Middle River in Fort Lauderdale’s Coral Ridge neighborhood. The masonry-and-concrete structure contains primarily one- and two-bedroom residences arranged around a compact core with elevator access. Units favor open living plans, large banks of windows or sliding glass doors, and private balconies or patios with river views; many homes feature updated kitchens with granite or stainless finishes, renovated baths, laminated or tile floors, walk-in closets, and in some cases in-unit laundry. Common elements emphasize low-density, community-oriented living: a riverfront pool and expansive deck, a clubhouse/club room overlooking the water, BBQ and garden/outdoor living areas, private storage rooms, assigned parking plus guest spaces, and a community laundry and bike room. Security features include gated or intercom access and impact-rated windows/doors in many units; accordion or storm shutters are also common. Pet policies are relatively permissive (cats often allowed) and short-term rental rules typically restrict leasing for the first year or two. Located steps from Coral Ridge’s restaurants, shops, parks, and minutes from the beach and Galleria, the building offers a blend of quiet waterfront character with immediate access to urban amenities and boating options via a shared dock.
