Fort Lauderdale. Homes here include 1950s and 60s ranch and contemporary homes and Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. What the city and local broker guides say about building here, and what usually comes up when a house is renovated.

1. 01

   The houses

   Homes here include 1950s and 60s ranch and contemporary homes and Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. Built 1960 to 1968; listings show 1961-1968 ranch and brick/block homes.

2. 02

   The lots and the water

   The water here is canals and the river. Ungated; lots about 100 x 80 ft (0.16 to 0.29 acre); about one in ten listings waterfront; roughly 130 households on northwest canals/river with small-boat docks.

3. 03

   Pools and outdoor living

   Pool additions on generous lots. Pools, summer kitchens and terraces extend the house toward the water. They are planned with the seawall, the setbacks and the drainage in mind.
