Coral Ridge

Mid-century houses on canals, close to the beach.

Coral Ridge occupies the northeast of the city, between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal, near Bayview and the Galt Ocean Mile. Much of it was built out mid-century, and much of it is on canals.

It is a family neighborhood with beach access, and it prices accordingly. Renovated mid-century houses on water make up a large part of what actually trades here.

What to check here

Permits and wind codes

Whether a mid-century renovation was permitted, and whether the roof and windows meet current wind codes.

Dock depth and canal width

Measured at the property, not quoted for the neighborhood. They vary street by street here.

Insurance, early

Quotes before the inspection period ends rather than after it, because they can move the monthly number sharply.

How these figures were made. They are American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020 to 2024, the newest the Census Bureau has published, for census geography chosen to match the City of Fort Lauderdale's Coral Ridge association boundary. Approximated by four census block groups. In the 2020 Census 100% of the people in these block groups lived inside the City's Coral Ridge association boundary, and they held 98% of the people living inside that boundary.

Census geography used: 120110406011, 120110406021, 120110406022, 120110406024. ACS figures are survey estimates with margins of error, which are larger for small areas. Counts are summed across the block groups; a median cannot be summed, so where several block groups are combined the median shown is an approximate weighted average, labelled as such, with the range of the published medians. A figure the Census did not publish is shown as not available.

Schools marked Assigned are the ones Broward County Public Schools' Find My School locator gave for an address on the 2700 block of NE 21st Ct, Fort Lauderdale, checked September 25, 2026. Attendance boundaries can split a neighborhood, so a different street can be zoned differently. Confirm your assigned school with Broward County Public Schools.

Nearby means within 1.5 miles of the middle of Coral Ridge, measured in a straight line; assigned schools are listed even when they are farther. Public schools are from the NCES Common Core of Data (2024-25), private schools from the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24). A school that serves several levels appears under each. There are no ratings here: the ones on most sites are licensed, and a number would say less than a visit.
