One of Fort Lauderdale’s strongest combinations of prestige, boating utility, and proximity to open water. Harbor Beach is where buyers pay up for a reason, the location works, the water works, and the address carries weight.The neighborhood today215WATERFRONT HOMES16FOR SALE6SOLD IN 12 MONTHS$9.59MMEDIAN SALE · 12 MONTHS80 daysMEDIAN TIME TO SELL$188,500ASKING / WATERFRONT FT · 16 FOR SALE16 homes for sale

What this water allows

Boat setback10 ft each side
Dockable lengthsthe water edge less the setbacks141 ft · 122 ft
Reach across the canal30% of 154 ft, dock and boat together · the dock itself stops at 25 ft · for the 122 ft dockable length46 ft
Depthno public survey we can rely onNot stated

We measure each of this lot’s two water edges separately, then take 10 ft off each end that meets a neighbor — where two of its edges meet at a corner, nothing comes off — the boat setback that applies here, which is what leaves dockable lengths of 141 ft and 122 ft. This lot fronts two waters: the Stranahan River, where no canal width limits beam, and a 154 ft canal, where a dock and the boat tied to it may together reach 30% of the way across. Depth is the one limit we don’t state: no public survey covers these canals at a resolution we can rely on.

Limits from ULDR 47‑19.3(h) (where a moored boat may lie) and Code 8‑91(e) (how far it may reach).
