Oriole Gardens III is a low-rise, garden-style condominium community built in 1975 and organized primarily for active adults aged 55 and over. The complex is two stories tall and contains a mix of one- and two-bedroom floorplans, many arranged with main-level primary suites and split-bedroom layouts that emphasize privacy. Interiors commonly feature tiled living areas, laminated or wood-tone bedroom floors, remodeled kitchens with updated cabinetry and granite or ceramic finishes, walk-in closets, and both tub-shower and walk-in shower bathrooms. Units often include enclosed Florida rooms or balconies/patios that extend living space and provide direct outdoor access. Common-area responsibilities handled by the association include roof and exterior maintenance, pest control, water and basic cable; on-site laundry and storage are located near units. Shared amenities focus on active-adult lifestyle programming: a clubhouse with organized social clubs and events, heated pool, exercise room, billiards and game areas, shuffleboard and bocce, plus walking-friendly grounds. Parking is surface-level with convenient spaces near building entrances. The association enforces age, financial and occupancy requirements, typically a 55+ residency policy, minimum credit and income thresholds, a 20% down requirement for purchases, and short-term leasing is restricted. The community’s location in Margate places it within easy walking distance of grocery and retail centers, and about a 15-minute drive to local beaches, supporting low-maintenance, socially active Florida living.
