The neighborhood
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a low-rise beach village with the famous Anglin's Pier and a walkable center, one of the last genuinely small beach towns in Broward. The village's low-rise character and community feel are its defining assets.
For buyers who want the beach lifestyle without towers, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea offers a rare combination: oceanfront living, a walkable village, and a tight-knit community. Inventory is limited and the character is protected.
What sets this village apart is its scale. Wedged between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, it has no high-rises and no sprawling subdivisions, only a compact grid of low-rise homes, small condominiums, and the commercial heart along Commercial Boulevard.
Scarcity defines the market. With very little inventory and strong demand for the village's protected low-rise character, properties are prized and the sales sample is small, so we price from the most recent comparable sales.

City & community overview
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea at a glance.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a barrier-island town of about 1.5 square miles in Broward County, wedged between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. It is a deliberately low-rise, small-scale village: single-family homes, garden condominiums, and a compact commercial heart along Commercial Boulevard, anchored by Anglin's Pier and the beach. The character is classic small beach town, protected by the town's height restrictions and community-minded planning.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's population was estimated at 6,365 as of July 1, 2024 (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Vintage 2024), up from 6,198 at the 2020 Census.

History
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea was developed in the 1920s by real estate pioneer E.C. May as a seaside resort town, later promoted by the National Geographic Society in the 1940s as a tropical family destination. The town incorporated in 1947 and has resisted high-rise development ever since, preserving its low-rise, walkable character through strict height limits. Anglin's Pier has anchored the beach for generations.
Commercial districts & employment
The village has a small hospitality and tourism economy built around the beach, the pier, and the Commercial Boulevard dining corridor, with very little office employment. Most residents commute to Fort Lauderdale and the wider Broward economy.
Accessibility & getting around
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits at the east end of Commercial Boulevard, a few minutes from US-1, I-95, and the Florida Turnpike. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is about 20 minutes south, Downtown Fort Lauderdale about 15 minutes, and Pompano Beach about 10 minutes north.

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a scarce market by design: roughly 1.5 square miles, no high-rises, and a small permanent population. Redfin reported a median home sale price of about $635,000 in October 2025, up 33.7% year over year, a figure that swings because so few homes sell in any given month.
The market's floor is set by the low-rise condominium stock, while single-family homes near the ocean and the Intracoastal hold the top of the market. Water exposure, condition, and proximity to the village center drive most pricing.
