Condos, Townhouses & Villas for Sale in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors & Oakland Park

Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, and Oakland Park each offer a different kind of condo and townhouse market, and knowing the difference matters as much as the listing price.

Along Fort Lauderdale’s coast and Intracoastal, from Galt Ocean Mile to Las Olas and downtown, you’ll find high-rise condos where amenities, views, and price points can shift block by block. Wilton Manors has a more walkable, close-knit feel, with smaller boutique buildings and townhomes near Wilton Drive. Oakland Park has become one of the area’s best entry points for buyers who want proximity to both Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors without the coastal price tag, especially as its Culinary District continues to grow.

Buying a condo or townhouse in South Florida also comes with a few considerations that don’t apply to single family homes. Florida law now requires most condo buildings three stories or taller to complete a milestone structural inspection, generally by their 25th or 30th year depending on distance from the coast, along with a structural integrity reserve study that shows how well funded the building is for future repairs. These requirements have created real differences in monthly HOA fees and special assessment risk between buildings that look nearly identical on paper. Reviewing a building’s reserve funding and inspection status is a standard part of how I evaluate a listing with clients, not an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a milestone inspection, and does it affect buying a condo in Florida?
Yes. Following the 2021 Surfside collapse, Florida now requires condo buildings three stories or taller to undergo a milestone structural inspection by their 25th year (or 30th year if the building is more than three miles from the coast), and every 10 years after that. Buildings that haven’t completed theirs, or that turn up findings, can face costly special assessments. It’s worth checking a building’s status before you fall in love with a unit.

What is a structural integrity reserve study (SIRS), and why does it matter?
A SIRS is a professional assessment of a condo building’s major structural components and how much money the association has set aside to maintain them. Buyers are entitled to a copy. A building with a well funded reserve is generally a safer long term buy than one relying on future special assessments to catch up.

Are Wilton Manors and Oakland Park good alternatives to Fort Lauderdale for condo buyers?
Often, yes. Both cities sit minutes from Fort Lauderdale and the beach without carrying the same coastal price premium. Wilton Manors tends to suit buyers who want walkability and a strong sense of community, while Oakland Park is attractive to buyers prioritizing value and appreciation potential as the area continues to develop.

What should I check before buying a condo in an older building?
At minimum: milestone inspection status, the most recent SIRS, current HOA fees and any planned increases, special assessment history, and the building’s rental and pet policies if either matters to you. I pull all of this for clients before they tour, not after they’ve made an offer.
