Under $750K for a Penthouse at Fort Lauderdale Beach: Inside The Tides' Best-Kept Secret
A three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse at The Tides in Fort Lauderdale Beach is on the market for under $750,000, offering 1,510 square feet, 11-foot ceilings, and two private balconies just steps from the sand.
I'm Joe Vairo — a 2x eXp ICON Agent, ranked the #3 real estate agent in Fort Lauderdale by Fort Lauderdale Magazine, and founder of the Vairo Group, ranked the #3 real estate team in Fort Lauderdale. I track beachside inventory in Fort Lauderdale closely because pricing at this level, this close to the water, doesn't stay quiet for long. Here is the full breakdown.
What's Actually For Sale at The Tides
This is a penthouse-level unit at The Tides in Fort Lauderdale Beach, priced under $750,000. It sits on the top floor of the building, which means no one walking above you and unobstructed views in two directions. The unit runs 1,510 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 11-foot ceilings — a rare find at this price point on the beach side of Fort Lauderdale.
Why Two Balconies Change the Whole Experience
The unit has two separate balconies, one facing the Intracoastal and a second facing east. Most units in this price range give you one view; this one gives you both the sunrise over the water to the east and the Intracoastal to the other side. That second balcony is the standout feature — the kind of space where you're having morning coffee and watching the sunrise before the day even starts.
Why I Consider The Tides Underrated
I think The Tides is one of the more underrated buildings on Fort Lauderdale Beach, and it comes down to what's within walking distance. You can walk downstairs to Shooters, walk to the beach itself, walk to the modern Greek restaurant Sterna, and get to one of the better happy hours in the area at Twice Removed. That kind of walkability — beach, dining, and nightlife all in a short radius — is hard to find at this price point in Fort Lauderdale.
What This Means for Buyers Looking at Fort Lauderdale Beach
For buyers trying to get into beachside Fort Lauderdale under $750,000, options with three bedrooms and top-floor positioning are limited. A penthouse unit with two balconies and 11-foot ceilings at this price is worth a serious look if walkability to the beach, dining, and nightlife is on your checklist.
Am I Bullish on This Type of Listing?
Yes. Penthouse units with dual exposures and sub-$750K pricing on Fort Lauderdale Beach don't come around often, and when they do, they tend to move.
