Sailboat Bend sits along a bend in the New River just west of downtown, and it carries a quieter, more historic feel than the high-rise stretches nearby. It's one of the few Fort Lauderdale pockets where cottage-scale homes and tree-lined streets share the waterfront with sailboats and small docks, and where you're still a short hop from the restaurants and offices of Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Compared to the polished energy of Victoria Park or the beach-side towers of Central Beach, this neighborhood trades flash for character.
For buyers, the market here is compact and a little patient. There are 24 active listings with a median list price of $696,950, but the spread is wide — from $299,900 to nearly $3M — so what you get depends heavily on whether you're chasing a condo or a river-access home. Homes are averaging 62 days on market, and over the last year sellers took a median $432,500 while landing about 97% of asking, so there's room to negotiate without lowball fantasies.

Sailboat Bend FAQs
Is Sailboat Bend a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you want historic character and river access without leaving central Fort Lauderdale. The neighborhood is low-rise and walkable to downtown, and it feels distinctly quieter than nearby Victoria Park. With 24 active listings, inventory is small, so serious buyers should watch the market closely.
Is Sailboat Bend expensive?+
It's mid-to-upper range for Fort Lauderdale, with a median list price of $696,950 and an average of $522 per square foot. That said, eight active listings are priced over $1M, which pulls the top end up — the actual median sold price over the last year was $432,500, a more grounded number for typical buyers.
What do homes cost in Sailboat Bend?+
Active listings span $299,900 to $2,950,000, with a median list of $696,950 on a median home size around 1,616 square feet. The wide gap reflects the mix of condos and waterfront single-family homes — 12 of the 24 active listings are on the water, which commands the higher prices.
How is the market right now?+
It's a patient market that favors prepared buyers. Homes are sitting a median of 62 days, and 22 homes sold over the past year with sellers getting about 97% of asking. That gap between list and sold suggests room to negotiate, especially on listings that have lingered.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't consistently reported here, since much of the neighborhood is fee-simple single-family rather than condo or association-heavy. The median property tax runs about $8,108 per year, and if you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent sits around $2,500 per month.
