7300 NW 4th Pl

Oriole Gardens is a low-rise, garden-style condominium complex built in 1973 with two stories and a predominantly one-bedroom unit mix that reflects a mature 55+ active-adult community. The architecture is modest mid-1970s suburban multifamily, with ground- and second-floor flats arranged around landscaped courtyards and garden paths. Individual homes commonly include screened or enclosed patios/balconies, modest eat-in kitchens, primary bedrooms on the main level, built-in storage, walk-in closets in larger plans, and a mix of bathtub and tub-shower combinations. Exterior features emphasize outdoor living: patios, barbecues, privacy walls, courtyard seating and storm shutters for seasonal protection. Common areas are focused on social and recreational programming for older adults: a large clubhouse with activity rooms (cards, billiards, library, theater), two heated swimming pools, a fitness room, and outdoor barbecue/entertaining spaces. Support amenities include on-site laundry/extra storage areas, surface parking with association rules limiting vehicles, and community lighting. Units are typically sold as-is or lightly updated; interiors range from original finishes to renovated kitchens with quartz counters and vinyl plank flooring in some listings. The association enforces age and financial requirements (55+ residency rules, minimum credit thresholds, down-payment and income stipulations) and maintains an owner-occupied emphasis with restrictions on rentals and pet ownership varying by specific rules. The complex sits in Margate within walking distance of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and public transit, offering a low-maintenance, community-oriented Florida lifestyle geared toward retirees.
