Hawaiian Gardens (Umbra Gardens phases) is a low-rise condominium community in Lauderdale Lakes built in 1974 and arranged mostly as three-story walk-up buildings. Units are predominantly one- and two-bedroom floor plans with first-floor entries or small stair access to second and third levels; many residences include enclosed Florida rooms or patios that extend living space toward landscaped lagoons and canals. Interiors typically feature tile or ceramic floors, modest updated kitchens with stainless-steel appliances in newer listings, standard bathrooms with combinations of tubs and separate showers, built-in storage and walk-in closets in larger units. Grounds prioritize outdoor living with courtyards, gardens, barbecue and picnic areas, and communal patios surrounding multiple heated pools. Shared facilities emphasize active-adult programming: a clubhouse, fitness center, library, billiards, shuffleboard courts and occasional on-site social events. Parking is surface-level; most buildings have no elevators given their height. The association enforces 55+ age restrictions and underwriting requirements including minimum income or credit standards, limits on leasing for the first two years after purchase, and pet/leasing rules that vary by phase. Location places the community near shopping, restaurants, public transit and is within a short drive to the beaches, offering a mix of tranquil waterfront views and convenient suburban services.
