3161 S Ocean Dr

A mid-rise coastal condominium completed in 1971 and rising 16 stories, the property is composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom residences with some convertible/den layouts. The exterior presents a functional 1970s concrete frame with private balconies on many units and storm/security shutters suited to the South Florida climate. Interiors vary by unit but commonly include eat-in kitchens or breakfast areas, formal dining or combined living/dining rooms, walk-in closets, updated cabinetry and tile or hardwood floors in renovated units. The building’s shared spaces focus on waterfront leisure: a heated intracoastal-facing pool, a clubhouse/rec room with event space and sauna, a fitness room, bike storage, and laundry facilities. A secured entry system and on-site management contribute to a well-maintained impression; 40-year structural recertification has been completed. Parking is available, typically covered, and the property allows rentals after a holding period; pet and age restrictions have been described variably but at least some units permit cats. Sited directly on the Intracoastal with beach access across the street, the condominium offers immediate waterway views, easy access to nearby shops, restaurants, casinos, the Hollywood Broadwalk, and quick drives to Aventura Mall and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
