357 N Rock Island Rd

A low-rise condominium complex in Margate built in 1980, the property spans four stories with elevator access and a mix of ground-, mid- and upper-floor homes. Units are primarily two-bedroom, two-bath layouts with living/dining combinations, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, sizable master suites with walk-in closets, and enclosed patios or screened balconies that often face landscaped courtyards or small lakes. Interior finishes commonly include ceramic or neutral tile flooring, granite or updated counters, built-in cabinetry, custom mirrors, and in-unit stacked or full-size washer/dryers. The community centers on an active clubhouse offering social spaces and wellness amenities — heated pools, spa/hot tub, exercise room, billiards/card rooms, kitchen and library — plus outdoor features like barbecue/picnic areas, tennis courts and courtyards. Exterior protections reflect South Florida needs: impact or roll-down shutters and storm-resistant doors on many units. On-site parking is surface-level with assigned spaces and plentiful guest parking; small pets (typically up to 20 lbs) are permitted under association rules. The association markets itself to residents 55+ with HOA reserves in place, moderate maintenance fees, occupancy restrictions on initial leases, and proximity to retail, restaurants and public transit for daily convenience.
