4141 Nw 44Th Ave

A low-rise condominium community constructed in 1971, the Emerald consists of four-story buildings offering primarily one- and two-bedroom residences. Units feature practical Florida layouts with screened or enclosed balconies/Florida rooms, tiled floors, walk-in closets, pantry space, and a mix of bath configurations that include soaking tubs and separate showers. Common interior traits include first- and second-floor entries, elevators, built-in storage and cabinetry, dual sinks in some units, and plenty of natural light through many windows. Exterior spaces emphasize outdoor living with patios, porches, landscaped courtyards, awnings, and communal barbecue areas; tennis courts and other recreation courts are integrated into the grounds. The development operates as a 55+ HOPA-verified community with an active clubhouse program: amenities typically maintained include a heated pool, fitness room, billiards and game rooms, bocce and shuffleboard, library, and social club activities. HOA management handles common-area maintenance, roofs and reserves; cable is often included in the fee and limited leasing is permitted under association rules after an initial owner-occupancy period. Parking is surface-level; units provide hurricane shutters or other storm protection consistent with South Florida standards. Located in Lauderdale Lakes with quick access to major highways, the complex sits roughly five miles from the beach and within commuting distance of shopping and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
