480 Nw 76Th Ave

Palm Lakes is a low-rise, garden-style condominium complex in Margate built in 1980 and arranged across four stories with elevator access. The community is composed primarily of two-bedroom floorplans featuring split-bedroom layouts, eat-in kitchens or breakfast areas, walk-in closets in primary suites, and in-unit washers and dryers; many units open to enclosed or oversized balconies and offer storage lockers. Exterior features include manicured courtyards, patios and enclosed porches, lake and garden views, storm shutters, and on-site tennis courts. Shared amenities center on an active clubhouse with two swimming pools (one near water), a fitness/exercise room, billiards and event spaces, plus ample exterior storage and on-site management. Parking is surface-level with some units offering front-door access; the association provides exterior maintenance, landscaping, pest control, building insurance, and common-area utilities such as cable and water. The community is operated under an age-restricted (55+) housing policy with pet allowances (typically two small pets under 20 lbs) and rental restrictions that require a minimum owner-occupancy period before leasing. Location is suburban-residential — within walking distance of neighborhood retail, near Coral Square Mall and major corridors, and a short drive to beaches and regional transit.
