Serious buyers looking along Fort Lauderdale Beach eventually realize the same thing: Breakwater Towers offers one of the strongest combinations of location, building stability, and long term value on the barrier island. Very few buildings east of A1A especially at this price point can match its structural track record, owner occupancy ratio, or proximity to the inlet and widest section of the beach! Unit 1702 sits on the top floor, a level that rarely becomes available and immediately separates this residence from the typical lower floor, limited view units on the market! A true two bedroom, two bath layout that has not been compromised by prior remodels. Buyers who intend to improve a unit rather than pay a premium for someone else's design will appreciate this! Serious buyers looking along Fort Lauderdale Beach eventually realize the same thing: Breakwater Towers offers one of the strongest combinations of location, building stability, and long term value on the barrier island. Very few buildings east of A1A  especially at this price point  can match its structural track record, owner occupancy ratio, or proximity to the inlet and widest section of the beach! Unit 1702 sits on the top floor, a level that rarely becomes available and immediately separates this residence from the typical lower floor, limited view units on the market. From this height, the exposure captures the coastline, the Atlantic horizon, and the unique movement of the Port Everglades inlet a view profile that is fundamentally different from mid level units! The interior is 1,036 sq ft, a true two bedroom, two bath layout that has not been compromised by prior remodels. Buyers who intend to improve a unit rather than pay a premium for someone else's design will appreciate this. The kitchen remains enclosed, allowing you to open it entirely if you prefer a modern floor plan, or preserve the original mid century flow. There are no awkward structural surprises or chopped up renovations to undo the space is straightforward and workable! Several major cost items are already behind you. 40 and 50 year building recertifications are completed, with the associated repairs finalized a critical advantage in today's coastal market. Impact windows and doors have already been installed in the key openings of this unit. No major special assessments are pending, aside from the insurance related charge the building already disclosed. These factors materially reduce future risk for the next owner. Breakwater Towers is known for a high percentage of long term, full time and seasonal owner occupants. That translates directly into quieter halls, better maintained common areas, and a more predictable association environment. The building offers 24/7 front desk coverage, secure FOB access, a well run management team, and a grounds profile that is constantly maintained! Amenities include a heated pool with mature landscaping, grilling and picnic areas, a community room, bike storage, laundry rooms on each level, and ample resident/guest parking. The location is one of the most strategically positioned waterfront corridors in Fort Lauderdale. From the building, you are: Steps to the beach in a section that is wider, cleaner, and less congested than the central tourist zones Minutes to the 17th Street Causeway corridor, Harbor Beach, Bahia Mar Marina, and waterfront restaurants Close to Las Olas Boulevard, downtown, and FLL airport Within an inlet community known for walkability, boating activity, and stable long term property values Buyers comparing renovated units... will note that those premiums reflect someone else's design choices and finish levels. 1702 allows you to control your renovation timeline, create your preferred layout, and build value on the top floor  something that cannot be replicated on lower stacks. At $385,000, this residence represents a straightforward opportunity: top floor elevation, completed building work, proven structural history, a rare location east of A1A, and a home you can tailor intelligently rather than inherit. For a buyer focused on long term stability, location quality, and value creation in a coastal building that has already done the hard work, Unit 1702 stands out immediately!
