3405 Nw 48Th Ave

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1973, Hawaiian Gardens spans three stories and is composed mainly of one- and two-bedroom units arranged around landscaped courtyards and ponds. Architecture is typical of mid-1970s garden-style communities: low horizontal massing, walkways between buildings, and private patios or screened Florida rooms that face shared water features. Interiors often include tile or laminate floors, updated kitchens and bathrooms in many units, generous closet storage and first-floor entry options; select units have impact windows and sliding doors. Shared facilities center on an active 55+ lifestyle and include a clubhouse with multipurpose rooms, fitness area, heated pool, shuffleboard courts, barbecue areas, and walking paths. On-site services are managed by an association that enforces age-restricted occupancy, no-pet rules in many buildings, and specific down-payment requirements for buyers. Parking is surface-level with some units offering parking adjacent to the door. Exterior features emphasize outdoor living: balconies, patios, decks, privacy walls, fruit trees and courtyard seating; storm shutters and high-impact doors are common for hurricane protection. The complex sits in Lauderdale Lakes with convenient access to shopping, transit and major roadways, offering a relaxed, community-focused environment geared to older adults seeking low-maintenance, amenity-centered condominium living.
