Frequently Asked Questions
- Is River Reach a gated community?
- Yes. Most listings describe River Reach as gated, and many remarks mention a guardhouse staffed around the clock at the entrance to the island. Ask the association how guest access, deliveries and contractor entry are handled, since those rules affect daily life and move-in day. Ask about elevator reservations for move-in as well.

- Usually, yes. Remarks describe association dockage for boats up to 50 feet overall, assigned as slips become available, at about $4.10 a foot per month. Most listings report ocean access with no fixed bridges. Ask about the current waiting list and dock rules before you buy.
- Are pets allowed at River Reach?
- Yes, with limits. Remarks describe two small pets under 20 pounds each, and many listings mention size limits, number limits and a pet fee. Confirm the current pet rules for your building with the association before you make an offer, especially if your pet is close to the weight limit.

- Leasing is allowed in many buildings, but 17 listings note rental restrictions and 13 require buyer approval. Eight units were offered for rent in the past year, from $1,800 to $3,200 a month, with a median of $2,550.

- Has River Reach completed its building restoration?

- What schools serve River Reach?
- Current listings show Croissant Park Elementary, New River Middle and Stranahan High. School zones can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with Broward County Public Schools before you rely on it. Families should also ask about bus service from the island.
- How many homes are for sale in River Reach?
- There are 29 active listings for sale in River Reach right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract.

- What is the median home price in River Reach?
- The median list price in River Reach is $319,900, or roughly $310 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of River Reach homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $189,000 to $499,000. The median sits near the middle of that range, so River Reach inventory is spread fairly evenly rather than bunched at one end. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in River Reach cover?
- Homes for sale in River Reach currently range from about $189,000 at the entry level to $499,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects unit size, floor, and finish level across the condos and townhomes here, with the median list price around $319,900. The spread is moderate, so there is real choice here without the extremes some markets show. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the River Reach listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in River Reach?
- Homes in River Reach are averaging 124 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a slow pace, so sellers here should expect to price carefully and buyers often have time to compare before committing. Days on market in River Reach also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Is River Reach a gated community?
- Yes. River Reach is a gated community with controlled access at the entrance.
- Are there waterfront homes in River Reach?
- Yes. River Reach includes waterfront homes with canal, lake, or Intracoastal frontage.
About River Reach
River Reach, Fort Lauderdale, FL, is a waterfront community in Broward County with 29 homes for sale right now. River Reach is a gated, waterfront community in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida. Active listings are priced from $209,500 to $549,000. Homes were built between 1971 and 1982. Pure Equity lists homes in River Reach and represents buyers. Commission is negotiable, and what we are paid is agreed with you in writing before you commit to anything.
River Reach is a gated condominium community on a private island along the New River in Fort Lauderdale, zip code 33315. It is made up of six condominium associations, filed as River Reach Condominium I through VI, in mostly five-story concrete block buildings built between 1971 and 1983. All addresses are on River Reach Drive. Listings describe a staffed guardhouse at the entrance, three heated pools, tennis and pickleball, and boat slips the association rents to owners as space allows. Units are studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom condos, with a few three-bedroom plans, and most look over a canal, the river or the gardens. It draws boaters and downtown workers looking for a waterfront condo at a moderate price.
For owners thinking about selling, 35 units closed in the past twelve months, from $190,000 to $400,000. The median sale was $305,000, and the median price per square foot was about $254, with a range from $190 to $359. The median sale took 115 days and closed at about 93.6 percent of the final asking price. That is a slower, more negotiated market than single-family homes nearby, and sellers should plan for it. A unit priced right still sells, but buyers here expect room to negotiate and take time to compare buildings.
Recent sales show a clear pattern by floor plan and condition. Two-bedroom units of 1,025 square feet closed from $195,000 to $339,000, with the higher prices going to renovated units on upper floors. The 1,110 square foot two-bedroom plan closed from $215,000 for a unit that listed at $295,000 to $379,500 for a renovated ground-floor unit. A 1,250 square foot two-bedroom closed at $305,000, slightly above its $299,000 asking price. One-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath units of 900 square feet closed from $195,000 to $290,000, and a 784 square foot one-bedroom closed at $190,000.
Supply is the main thing a seller has to plan around. At the time of writing there were 28 units for sale and four under contract, against 35 sales a year. That is close to ten months of inventory. Asking prices ran from $189,000 to $499,000, with a median of $322,450, which is above the median sale. Several units have been listed for most of a year. The ones that sell price against recent closings for the same floor plan and building, and they show the renovation work clearly. Listings that mention completed building restoration and paid assessments get more attention from buyers.
Financing is another thing to plan for early. Lenders look closely at older condominium buildings in Florida, including reserves, insurance and the status of structural inspections and repairs. Because River Reach has recently finished major restoration work, a buyer's lender will want documents showing what was done and how it was paid for. Ask the association for the lender questionnaire, the current budget and the reserve study as soon as you are under contract. Sellers can help by having those documents ready before listing, so a financed buyer's approval does not stall the closing. Cash buyers move faster, and a unit that is ready for either kind of buyer has the widest market.
For buyers, the monthly fee and the recent building work go together. Every listing reports a fee, from about $394 to $1,416 a month, with a median of about $1,048. Most listings show the fee covering grounds, pools, trash, common areas, water, sewer, pest control and reserves, and many include insurance, building maintenance, internet, cable and the roof. One remark describes a fee of $737 that includes water, cable, internet and fully funded reserves. Several remarks say the community recently completed concrete restoration, new impact windows and doors, new balcony railings and exterior paint. Ask each association whether any assessment balance remains and who pays it.
Boating is a big reason people buy here. Most listings report ocean access with no fixed bridges, 31 report canal frontage and 22 report river frontage. Remarks describe association dockage for boats up to 50 feet overall, assigned as slips become available, at about $4.10 a foot per month. Ask the association about the current waiting list, dock rules and any limits on liveaboards or commercial use before you buy for that reason. Eight listings note dock restrictions.
Pets are allowed with limits. Remarks describe two small pets under 20 pounds each, and many listings show number limits, size limits and a pet fee. Leasing is allowed in 34 listings, though 17 note rental restrictions and 13 require buyer approval. Eight units were offered for rent over the past year, from $1,800 to $3,200 a month, with a median of $2,550. Most units have assigned parking and no garage, and one remark describes a shaded space next to the building door. Listings show Croissant Park Elementary, New River Middle and Stranahan High for schools.
River Reach suits a buyer who wants a waterfront condo with real boat access and controlled entry close to downtown Fort Lauderdale, at a moderate purchase price. The tradeoff is an older building with a substantial monthly fee and a slower resale market. For sellers, the strongest selling points are a renovated unit, a water view, proximity to the docks and the completed building restoration. Price against your own building's recent closings and be ready to negotiate, because buyers here have plenty of other units to compare.

Market & Value
River Reach market and home values
The River Reach real estate market reads best through the community's own recent activity, not a county-wide average. The median list price in River Reach is around $319,900, or roughly $310 per square foot. That sits about 18% below the Broward County median, which shows where River Reach lands in the local market. Recent asking prices have run from $189,000 to $499,000, so the home you choose within River Reach matters as much as the community average. Homes here have recently taken about 124 days to go under contract, a useful gauge of how quickly the River Reach market is moving. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within River Reach carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity can pull the active and recently sold homes in River Reach so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.
How It Compares
River Reach compared to nearby Fort Lauderdale communities
River Reach sits 5 of 7 on median price among these Fort Lauderdale communities. Price per square foot is the fairer comparison between communities, because it adjusts for the fact that one neighborhood builds bigger homes than another. Days on market shows how quickly each one is actually selling.

Medians come from active listings in each community and move as inventory turns over. They describe the homes currently for sale, not what any one home is worth.
Who It Suits
Is River Reach right for you?
It helps to know who River Reach tends to suit before you tour. River Reach appeals to boaters and buyers who want to be on the water, whether a canal, lake, or the Intracoastal. Waterfront homes carry their own insurance and maintenance considerations, so factor wind and flood coverage into the budget from the start. On price, River Reach sits toward the more attainable end of the market, which draws first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. Whether River Reach is right for you depends on how you plan to use the home, full time or seasonally, and Pure Equity can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Living in River Reach
River Reach feels like a small island resort tucked into the city. Remarks describe three heated pools, a fitness room, tennis and pickleball courts, barbecue grills and racks for paddleboards and kayaks, all set in landscaped grounds. Listings also mention a clubhouse, a library, bike storage, a car wash area and picnic areas. Boaters walk from their units to the community docks and watch yachts move along the New River from their balconies. The guardhouse at the entrance keeps traffic low, so residents walk and bike inside the community. Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas and the beach are a short drive away, which suits residents who work in the city or like to go out. Boat traffic on the river is part of the daily scenery.
Location
River Reach location
River Reach is on a private island along the New River in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, zip code 33315. All addresses are on River Reach Drive, with buildings at 900, 1000, 1101, 1301 and 1350. Remarks describe the community as about 22 acres and a few minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale Beach and I-95. According to current MLS listings, units are zoned for Croissant Park Elementary, New River Middle and Stranahan High. Confirm school assignments for a specific address with Broward County Public Schools before you buy, since zones are redrawn from time to time.
Buying in River Reach
Buying a home in River Reach
The buying process in River Reach is the one used across Broward County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Ask for the association's governing documents, budget, and reserve study before you write an offer. Association fees, any club or membership costs, and rules on rentals, pets, and leasing vary by community and materially affect the true cost of ownership. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Broward County is about $3,610. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Fort Lauderdale means you see new listings in River Reach the day they reach the market.
Selling in River Reach
Selling a home in River Reach
Selling a home in River Reach starts with pricing it correctly for current conditions. List prices in River Reach currently center around $319,900, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Buyers in an association community also want to see the HOA or condo docs, the reserve study, and any pending or special assessments up front, so having those ready before you list avoids delays once you are under contract. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for River Reach owners in Fort Lauderdale, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?

Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in River Reach.
Listing agents and seller representation in River Reach
Thinking about selling in River Reach? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Buyers currently hold leverage in River Reach, so pricing and presentation carry more weight than they would in a hot market. Homes that are prepared properly and priced against real closed sales still sell; the ones testing an optimistic number are the ones that sit. Homes here are averaging about 124 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving River Reach. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving River Reach
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in River Reach is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in River Reach
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where buyers have room to negotiate, as they do in River Reach, the leverage is only worth something if you know where it exists and what to ask for. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Broward County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in River Reach?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near River Reach, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $319,900 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Broward County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in River Reach?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in River Reach, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in River Reach?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in River Reach do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. Even in a slower market, negotiating room is only useful if you know where it exists.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Broward County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
