5160 SW 40th Ave

A low-rise condominium community built in 1972, this two-story complex is composed primarily of two-bedroom, two-bath units arranged around landscaped courtyards and a central lake. Architecture is modest mid-century suburban: low-pitched roofs, stucco façades, screened patios and balconies that face garden or water views. Interiors commonly feature split-bedroom layouts, main-level primary suites in some units, tiled floors, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars or islands, sizable closets and full-size bathrooms; several listings note updated kitchens, new HVAC and water heaters in individual units. Shared amenities are oriented to outdoor and community living — a heated pool, clubhouse, gazebo, barbecue and walking paths surrounding the lake, plus laundry rooms on each floor and surface guest parking with assigned spaces. Exterior features include storm/security shutters, courtyards, patios and enclosed porches. The complex allows all ages, has on-site management and rental restrictions (typically one-year minimum ownership before leasing); units are often tenant-occupied and HOA policies have occasional approval or financing contingencies. Located in Fort Lauderdale with easy access to I-95, the Turnpike, the Hard Rock entertainment district, airport and nearby retail, the community offers a quiet, well-maintained suburban condo lifestyle with garden and water vistas.
