Sunrise Lakes is a community of 40 homes in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, built between 1983 and 1983 (median 1983), with a median living area of about 800 square feet. 82% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

A 1983-built condo enclave in Fort Lauderdale with a median price of $105,000, high homestead concentration, and a market that has shifted from breakneck appreciation to a slower, more discerning cadence.

The $105,000 median and $118 per foot anchor you in Fort Lauderdale's most accessible ownership tier, but the number alone masks the range of condition, view, and deferred maintenance across forty-plus-year-old units. With no identified master amenities in current listings, value hinges on unit-level updates, building reserves, and proximity to employment and transit corridors.

The 110-day median time on market is more than triple the county average for entry-level product, signaling that buyers are underwiting carefully—checking association financials, pending assessments, and maintenance history. Eighty-eight closings in the window confirm transactional depth, but the 8.7% year-over-year price decline and elevated days-on-market mean you have negotiating leverage if you come prepared with inspection contingencies and reserve documentation.

The 82.5% homestead share is a double-edged sword: it delivers neighbor stability and lower speculator churn, but it also means supply is episodic—most sellers are moving because of life events, not market timing. When inventory does surface, condition varies widely, and the absence of a refresh cycle means you must budget for capital improvements and assess the building's long-term viability independently.

Sunrise Lakes demands forensic due diligence—association budgets, pending special assessments, roof and plumbing reserve schedules—and our team knows which documents to request before you write an offer. We price condition, not just comparables, and in a market where the median sit-time is 110 days, we'll tell you when to walk and when a unit at $105,000 represents genuine value relative to the building's health and Fort Lauderdale's replacement cost.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
