Market Trends & Statistics for Harbor Beach

Rio Vista Isles

Harbor Beach is a private, guard-gated waterfront community in southeast Fort Lauderdale, and it is one of the most exclusive addresses on the barrier island. This is the residential neighborhood, not the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort that shares a similar name.

Established in 1950, Harbor Beach holds fewer than 1,000 residents across roughly 400 homes, most of them waterfront estates with private deep-water dockage and direct ocean access.

It is the only single-family-home neighborhood south of Sunrise Boulevard on Fort Lauderdale Beach, a distinction that protects its low-rise, residential character. Homes currently for sale range from about $1.85 million to more than $26 million.

Rio Vista Waterfront Homes

Harbor Beach Home Prices

RHomes in Harbor Beach and its adjacent guard-gated islands currently range from about $1.85 million to more than $26 million, with the largest waterfront estates reaching into the $40 million range.

The neighborhood also includes select condominiums and vacant waterfront lots. Because this is a small, tightly held market of roughly 400 homes, active inventory is limited and moves quickly. The live listings below reflect what is available right now.

The Harbor Beach Surf Club and Gated Security

Harbor Beach residents have access to the Harbor Beach Surf Club, a private beach club founded in 1942. The club maintains roughly 300 feet of private Atlantic beach, a beach pavilion, and a small private marina, and membership is limited to Harbor Beach property owners. It is a separate entity from the club at the Marriott resort.

Security is handled by a 24/7 manned guard gate, and the neighborhood is entirely residential. Within Harbor Beach sits Harborage Isle, a sub-enclave of just 17 waterfront homes with its own separate gate and association, one of the most private pockets in all of Fort Lauderdale.
