Fort Lauderdale’s Ultra-Luxury Boom: Millionaires Flock In

As Miami’s luxury market reaches new price peaks, many high-net-worth buyers are looking north. Fort Lauderdale has emerged as the destination of choice, offering larger lots, deeper waterfronts, and a more relaxed yet equally refined lifestyle.

Record-Breaking Sales

In the past year, Fort Lauderdale has seen listings reach $40–$50 million — and some of them are selling. Trophy properties along the Intracoastal and Las Olas Isles are attracting hedge fund managers, tech entrepreneurs, and international investors.

Why the Shift from Miami?

• Space: Larger land parcels for private docks, pools, and guest homes.

• Lifestyle: Upscale yet less congested, with direct ocean access.

• Value: Comparable luxury for 20–30% less per square foot than prime Miami Beach.

Neighborhood Hotspots

The Las Olas Isles, Harbor Beach, and Rio Vista neighborhoods top the wish lists for deepwater dockage and quick ocean access. Fine dining at venues like DUNE and Eddie V’s, combined with proximity to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, adds to the appeal.
