CORAL RIDGE ISLES

Why CRI?

Lots of reasons: Coral Ridge Isles is a beautiful neighborhood of homes in Fort Lauderdale with all the benefits of South Florida surrounding our community.  With the turquoise blue Atlantic just a couple of minutes East on Commercial Boulevard, our community is replete with wonderful entertainment, dining, shopping, transportation and education options. 

In proximity to the Coral Ridge Isles community, we have restaurants on the beach where you can dig your toes in the sand while you enjoy the freshest bounty from the sea or friendly neighborhood grilles, upscale steak houses, ethnic foods, and fabulous dining options with food prepared right at your table. On one hand, there are dinner shows that thrill visitors with the excitement of fire and dance and, on the other, romantic waterfront dining experiences with multi-million dollar yachts gliding by.

Coral Ridge Isles consists of nearly 1,000 homes bounded by Commercial Boulevard on the South, Cypress Creek Road on the North, Dixie Highway on the West and NE 18^th Avenue on the East (click on the map for a larger picture). We have approximately 400 homes on waterfront canals with ocean access under fixed bridges and another 600 on quiet, tree-lined streets.

This is a community that thrives on a superior quality of life with excellent access to education, sports, healthcare, emergency response, worship and shopping.

When it comes to education, there may be no finer community in Florida. With public and private education facilities within a mile of our boundaries, we are blessed with a selection of  choices that many people drive miles to attend. Floranada Elementary is a national award-winning school and a cornerstone of our community. Floranada is a straight-A rated school that features a new, 14 million dollar campus with state-of-the-art classrooms, dining, library and music facilities. Floranada is the school of choice for most of our residents and a big attraction for families with young children.

Ricards Middle school is on the West side of Dixie Highway in close proximity and just a few blocks up 56^th Street is Northeast High -- both are outstanding neighborhood schools.

On our Northern boundary, adjacent to our main entrance off Cypress Creek Road  is Pine Crest School, a K-12 private school with a national reputation for excellence in education. On the Eastern end of 56^th Street bordering Federal Highway is Westminster Academy, another outstanding private school with a national reputation for excellence in education. There are a number of other excellent schools all within a mile or two of the CRI neighborhood. There are so many choices, you will not be disappointed.

Floranada Park, which is part of the school and is operated by the city, is the centerpiece of the Coral Ridge Isles community with playground, basketball, youth baseball, gazebo, sand volleyball and plenty of open space for children to play. This park is host to many children’s soccer and baseball leagues.

Many community events are held in Floranada Park and enjoyed by all the residents of Coral Ridge Isles.  Events range from the annual Floranada Day festival to the Coral Ridge Isles Homeowner’s Association Easter Egg Hunt, Night Out Against Crime and the Holiday Festival held in December.   All these events provide an excellent opportunity for residents to get together and make new friends and acquaintances.

Hospitals, healthcare options and spiritual worship abound in our area. We have several hospitals including Holy Cross which is ranked as one of the top 50 hospitals in the USA, medical centers and a fire station with emergency response that border our community. And, if staying fit is part of your healthcare regimen, there are two major fitness facilities off Commercial Boulevard. Nationally known churches and temples of a variety of faiths are also within a mile of our neighborhood.

Two major supermarkets are within five blocks of our community in the vicinity of Commercial and Dixie with department stores, drugstores, office supply, and banks, too. We have easy access to I-95 and the Tri-Rail commuter station on Cypress Creek Road. Even the Baltimore Orioles do their spring training two miles west on Commercial Boulevard!

Whew! There are so many incredible options in restaurants, entertainment venues, sports, shopping, beaches, boating, transportation, golf courses and culture options within a short distance of our community; we can’t begin to name them all! And yet, Coral Ridge Isles is a quiet, cozy neighborhood with a lush, tropical fee, canals with ocean access, and a canopy of trees that makes our neighborhood special.

Coral Ridge Isles Home Owners Association counts on our residents to help make the quality of life here exceptional. Won’t you join us? We are a volunteer association and depend on our residents to send in membership dues so we can continue to fund important community improvement projects. We deliver a newsletter 12 times a year with phone numbers listed in it and on our website so you can reach a board member who will be happy to answer your questions and help you get involved. Without the efforts of our residents and homeowners association, many benefits we enjoy may not have come to be. A large number of members will assure that we have the resources we need to get city, county, state and federal officials to control zoning and development issues that impact our neighborhood.

Thanks for your interest in Coral Ridge Isles, truly a community of caring residents working to make an exceptional quality of life.
