Frequently Asked Questions
- What do condos in Oriole Gardens sell for?
- Units closed between $45,000 and $140,000 in the last twelve months, with a median of $89,500 and about $97 a square foot. Recent two-bedroom, two-bath units of 990 square feet closed from $84,000 to $123,000, and one-bedroom units closed between $45,000 and $68,000. The median sale took 84 days and closed at about 94% of list.
- What are the HOA fees in Oriole Gardens?
- Of 109 listings that state a fee, the median is about $495 a month, with entries from $318 to $1,484. Most fees cover trash, water and common areas, and many add sewer, grounds, the pools and building maintenance. Coverage of the roof, insurance and cable varies by association, so compare what is included, not just the number.
- What does association approval require in Oriole Gardens?
- Listings describe a minimum credit score, usually quoted between 675 and 700, a minimum income, 20% down for financed purchases and an in-person interview. Some associations also require a security deposit. Requirements differ by association, so ask for the current application and criteria from the one that governs the unit you want before you make an offer. Approval takes time, so allow for it in the contract dates and keep your financial documents ready.
- Are pets allowed in Oriole Gardens?
- Mostly not. Most recent listings say pets are not allowed, and only a few listings report that pets are permitted, sometimes with breed or size limits. Because each association sets its own rule, confirm the policy in writing for the specific building before you commit if you have a pet or plan to get one.
- Can you rent out a condo in Oriole Gardens?
- Sometimes. Some listings say leasing is allowed, others prohibit it, and one listing described a rule against renting during the first three years of ownership. Only a handful of rentals appeared in the last year, at $1,600 to $1,800 a month. Investors should read the specific association's documents before buying.
- How big are the units in Oriole Gardens?
- One-bedroom units run about 670 and 735 square feet, some with a bath and a half. Two-bedroom, two-bath units run about 990 to 1,000 square feet. All recent listings are in two-story buildings built between 1973 and 1976, and almost none have a garage.
- Does Oriole Gardens have age restrictions?
- Ask the association directly. Age and occupancy rules come from each association's recorded documents, and a listing description is not a reliable substitute for them. Get the current rule in writing, along with any limits on guests or additional occupants, before you sign a contract or schedule an approval interview.
- What schools serve Oriole Gardens?
- MLS listings show most units assigned to Atlantic West Elementary, Margate Middle and Coconut Creek High, and some assigned to Morrow Elementary and Silver Lakes Middle instead. Assignments depend on the address, so confirm the zone for a specific unit with Broward County Public Schools.
- How many homes are for sale in Oriole Gardens?
- There are 55 active listings for sale in Oriole Gardens right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. The most expensive listing asks about 4 times the least expensive, so budgets vary widely within Oriole Gardens. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new Oriole Gardens listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in Oriole Gardens?
- The median list price in Oriole Gardens is $112,000, or roughly $119 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Oriole Gardens homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $48,450 to $175,000. The median sits near the middle of that range, so Oriole Gardens 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 Oriole Gardens cover?
- Homes for sale in Oriole Gardens currently range from about $48,450 at the entry level to $175,000 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 $112,000. 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 Oriole Gardens listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Oriole Gardens?
- Homes in Oriole Gardens are averaging 159 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 Oriole Gardens 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 Oriole Gardens a 55+ community?
- Yes. Oriole Gardens is an age-restricted, 55-and-over active adult community, which generally means at least one resident per home must be 55 or older and the community is built around an active adult lifestyle. These communities usually pair lower-maintenance homes with amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, and a full social calendar. Rules on age, occupancy, leasing, and pets are set by the HOA and vary, so confirm the current governing documents for Oriole Gardens before you write an offer.
About Oriole Gardens
Oriole Gardens, Margate, FL, is a 55-and-over community in Broward County with 55 homes for sale right now. Construction dates to 1973 through 1974. It is an age-restricted, 55-and-over active adult community. Listings update from the MLS nightly.
Oriole Gardens is a large condominium community in Margate, built in phases between 1973 and 1976 and split into several associations, including Oriole Gardens One, Two and Three, with numbered condominium buildings inside them. The buildings are two-story concrete block, the units are one and two bedrooms, and some buildings back onto canals. In the last twelve months 46 units closed, about 55 were for sale and 9 were under contract. The figures below describe all the sections together. Fees, rules and the condition of each building vary by association, and that variation moves price more than anything else here.
Owners thinking about selling should know where the last year of closings landed. Units closed between $45,000 and $140,000, with a median of $89,500 and a median of about $97 a square foot. The two-bedroom, two-bath unit of 990 square feet is the most common plan, and recent two-bedroom closings ran from $84,000 on NW 1st Street to $123,000 on NW 5th Court. One-bedroom units of 670 and 735 square feet closed between $45,000 and $68,000 in recent months. The median sale closed at about 94% of its list price after 84 days on the market.
The asking side sits above the closing side, and that gap is the main thing a seller has to manage. The median ask among current listings is about $111,000, against a median closing of $89,500, and some listings have sat for well over a year. With roughly 55 units on the market at once, a seller usually competes with several units of the same plan. Buyers compare kitchens, baths, impact windows and the age of the air conditioning. Updated units with impact glass and newer systems sell toward the top of the range, and units that need work sell on price. We price against recent closings in the same section and floor plan, because fees and assessments differ from one association to the next.
The approval process affects every sale here, so sellers should plan for it. Listings describe association requirements that include a minimum credit score, usually quoted between 675 and 700, a minimum income, 20% down for financed purchases and an in-person interview. Some associations also ask for a security deposit. Those rules narrow the buyer pool, and approval adds time between contract and closing. A seller who gathers the application package, the current budget and recent meeting minutes before listing gives buyers fewer reasons to walk away while they wait for approval.
Before listing, a seller should also know the building's numbers. Buyers and their lenders ask for the association budget, the reserve balance, the insurance declarations and the status of any roof or structural work. With new roofs going on at least one building, buyers will ask who paid for them and whether an assessment is still being collected. Impact windows, a recent air conditioning replacement and remodeled baths are worth documenting with dates and receipts, since listing remarks lead with exactly those items. A unit with a canal view, and only a minority have one, should lead with that view in the photos and in the first line of the description. Small details like an extra storage locker are worth a mention too.
For buyers, the housing stock is simple. All recent listings are condominiums in two-story buildings, with one-bedroom units of about 670 and 735 square feet and two-bedroom, two-bath units of about 990 to 1,000 square feet. Construction is concrete block, and most listings that name a roof type show shingle. Sewer and water are public. Almost no listings show a garage. Part of the community backs onto canals, and 18 listings report a canal view, while most report a garden view. Several listings highlight corner units, which get extra windows and more light.
Association fees vary more than the units do. Of 109 listings that state a fee, the median is about $495 a month, but the range runs from $318 to $1,484, and that top figure is far outside the norm. Most listings say the fee covers trash, water and common areas, and many add sewer, grounds maintenance, the pools and building maintenance. About half list the roof, and fewer list building insurance or cable. One recent listing noted that new roofs were being installed on its building. Ask each association for its budget, reserve study and any pending or recent special assessment, and get the answer in writing.
Rules are strict, and buyers should check them early. Most listings say pets are not allowed. Many note no trucks, RVs, trailers, boats or motorcycles. Leasing rules vary: some listings say leasing is allowed, while others prohibit it, and one listing reported no renting during the first three years of ownership. Only a handful of rentals came through in the last year, at $1,600 to $1,800 a month. Ask the association about its age and occupancy rules too, and get those in writing along with the leasing rule before you make an offer.
Oriole Gardens fits a buyer who wants a low purchase price, a clubhouse and pools, and a quiet two-story building, and who is comfortable with association approval. The tradeoffs are a demanding application, few pet options and limited leasing. Investors should read the leasing rules of the specific association before running numbers. For sellers, the community has a steady but slow market. Forty-six closings in a year is a reliable flow of comparables, but the number of competing listings means pricing correctly at the start matters more than anything done after.

How It Compares
Oriole Gardens compared to nearby Margate communities
Oriole Gardens sits 5 of 7 on median price among these Margate 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.

Who It Suits
Is Oriole Gardens right for you?
A quick read on who fits Oriole Gardens saves time before you visit. As an age-restricted community, Oriole Gardens fits active adults, downsizers, and seasonal residents who want a lock-and-leave home and a full social calendar. At least one resident usually needs to meet the age requirement, so confirm the specific age rule and any younger-spouse provision before you buy. On price, Oriole Gardens sits toward the more attainable end of the market, which draws first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. Whether Oriole Gardens 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 Oriole Gardens
The clubhouse is the center of daily life in Oriole Gardens. Listings describe two pools, a fitness room, billiards, a card room, a library, a full kitchen and a large auditorium that hosts shows and events through the year. Others mention a barbecue area, shuffleboard and a sauna. Most listings show a clubhouse and a pool among the association amenities, and many add picnic areas, storage and laundry facilities. The grounds are mostly garden settings between low buildings, with canal views from some units. Listings describe a social atmosphere with regular activities, and being within walking distance of the clubhouse is a selling point agents mention.
Location
Oriole Gardens location
Oriole Gardens is in Margate, in central Broward County, with the 33063 zip code. Units sit along NW 1st Street, NW 4th Place, NW 5th Court, NW 5th Place, NW 76th Avenue, NW 78th Terrace and NW 80th Avenue, and some addresses are on West Atlantic Boulevard.

MLS listings show most units assigned to Atlantic West Elementary, Margate Middle and Coconut Creek High, while some are assigned to Morrow Elementary and Silver Lakes Middle. Confirm the assignment for any address with Broward County Public Schools.
Buying in Oriole Gardens
Buying a home in Oriole Gardens
Buying in Oriole Gardens follows the same path as the rest of 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 Margate means you see new listings in Oriole Gardens the day they reach the market.
Selling in Oriole Gardens
Selling a home in Oriole Gardens
A successful sale in Oriole Gardens comes down to pricing, presentation, and marketing. List prices in Oriole Gardens currently center around $112,000, 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 Oriole Gardens owners in Margate, 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 Oriole Gardens.
Listing agents and seller representation in Oriole Gardens
Thinking about selling in Oriole Gardens? 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 Oriole Gardens, 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 159 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 Oriole Gardens. 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 Oriole Gardens
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 Oriole Gardens 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 Oriole Gardens
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 Oriole Gardens, 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 Oriole Gardens?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near Oriole Gardens, 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 $112,000 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 Oriole Gardens?
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 Oriole Gardens, 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 Oriole Gardens?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in Oriole Gardens 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.
