Fort Lauderdale homes

A 1973 median home, and a lot of new load on it.

Fort Lauderdale has about 186,000 residents and 102,000 homes and apartments, and the median one was built in 1973 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020–2024 American Community Survey).

That makes Fort Lauderdale's housing about seven years older than the Broward average. A home from the early 1970s may still have its original service, often 100 amps, feeding central air, a modern kitchen and now an EV charger.

  • Waterfront homes in neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles, Harbor Beach and Coral Ridge see salt air at meters, outdoor outlets and dock or pool circuits.
  • Historic neighborhoods such as Sailboat Bend, Colee Hammock and Tarpon River have some of the city's oldest wiring.
  • Condo and high-rise units near the beach and in Flagler Village need work coordinated with the association and building manager.
  • Downtown businesses need after-hours service that doesn't stop trading. Same 24-hour line.
