Lauderdale By The Sea is one of the last low-rise beach towns on Florida's southeast coast, a compact community wedged between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal in Broward County. Life here runs on foot: the sand, the pier, and the dive spots off the shore are all within a few blocks of most front doors, which is why so much of the housing is waterfront homes and low-rise condos rather than sprawling subdivisions. It feels more like a village than a city, and residents tend to stay put once they land here.

The market reflects that scarcity of land. Of the 129 active listings, 95 are condominiums and just 22 are single-family homes, so most buyers are shopping townhomes & condos at a median list price of $655,000. Homes are taking their time — a median of 82 days on market — which gives patient buyers room to negotiate, and the just reduced list is worth watching.

Lauderdale By The Sea is in Broward County, Florida.
