Inside Ft. Lauderdale’s eight-figure waterfront mansions

To reach the upper price scales of Fort Lauderdale’s home listings, a few things are a must: water on at least two sides (a peninsula even better) and the ability to dock a yacht of significant length alongside the home.

Ideally, the house should be newly built (or renovated), with space tailored for hosting large events and waterfront soirées. Private pickleball courts, a car collector’s garage, even a two-story flat screen visible to boaters passing by — all nice touches that can push the asking price higher.
