2851 Somerset Dr

Somerset is a low-rise, garden-style condominium complex built in 1974 and arranged across four stories with primarily one- and two-bedroom plans. The architecture and site emphasize communal outdoor living: units open to screened balconies, patios or Florida rooms and face landscaped courtyards with mature trees, barbecue areas, tennis courts and a heated pool. Interiors vary by unit but commonly feature eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, updated bathrooms, tile or laminate floors, and ground-floor garden views; some units include sunrooms and shuttered impact windows. Common facilities concentrate a social program — a staffed gated entry with 24-hour security, an active clubhouse with billiards and meeting space, an exercise room and sauna, laundry rooms on each floor, covered or assigned parking, and on-site storage. Association services typically cover water, trash, pest control and basic cable with relatively low monthly fees; rules reflect the community’s age-restricted orientation (primarily 55+ with limited younger occupancy and initial leasing restrictions). Located in Lauderdale Lakes, the complex sits minutes from shopping, dining, major highways and roughly a short drive to Fort Lauderdale beaches, making it oriented toward a convenient, maintenance-light lifestyle for downsizing or retirement buyers.
