2840 Somerset Dr

Somerset at Lauderdale Lakes is a low-rise, gated condominium complex built in 1979 with four stories of residential units configured primarily as one- and two-bedroom condos. The architecture reads as late-20th-century garden-style multifamily with exterior catwalks, screened balconies or enclosed patios, and ground-level courtyards framed by landscaping, awnings, and covered walkways. Interior unit features commonly include eat-in kitchens or breakfast areas, walk-in closets, pantry/storage space, and a mix of first-floor and upper-level entries served by elevators and accessible circulation. Common areas emphasize active, social living: a clubhouse, pool, billiards, fitness room, and courts for tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard surround central barbecue and outdoor living areas. The association operates as an age-restricted (55+) community with gated access, on-site laundry, assigned parking and storage units; rules often restrict pets, limit initial leasing (typical minimum ownership before renting is one to two years), and require association disclosures and occupancy approvals. Located in Lauderdale Lakes between Oakland Park and Sunrise Boulevards, the property offers suburban convenience with malls, restaurants and beach access roughly six miles east, making it oriented toward low-maintenance, community-focused living for older adults.
