Fort Lauderdale Zip Codes: Neighborhood Guide by Area

Fort Lauderdale zip codes each represent a distinct neighborhood with its own price range, character, and buyer profile. Whether you are a first-time buyer, an investor, or someone relocating from out of state, knowing which zip code matches your goals is the first step. This guide breaks down the major Fort Lauderdale zip codes so you can narrow your search before you ever step inside a home.

33301 -- Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas

Zip code 33301 covers the urban core of Fort Lauderdale, including Downtown, the Las Olas Blvd corridor, and the Rio Vista neighborhood to the south. This is the highest-walkability zip in the city.

Median home prices in 33301 run around $650,000, but the range is wide. High-rise condos on Las Olas Boulevard can exceed $2 million. Smaller condos and lofts closer to Downtown start around $350,000. Single-family homes in this zip are rare and sell for premium prices when they appear.

The buyer profile here is urban-oriented -- professionals, downsizers, and buyers who want to walk to restaurants and work. Also, investors targeting short-term rentals find 33301 attractive due to its proximity to Fort Lauderdale Beach and the convention center.

For commuters, 33301 sits within walking distance of the Brightline Fort Lauderdale station, connecting to Miami, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach by rail. This is a growing premium as Brightline service expands.

33304 -- Victoria Park and Coral Ridge

Zip code 33304 includes Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, and portions of Wilton Drive. This is one of the most established and desirable residential areas in Fort Lauderdale.

Prices in 33304 range from $600,000 for smaller bungalows in Victoria Park to $3 million or more for waterfront Coral Ridge estates on deep-water canals with direct ocean access. The architecture is a mix of mid-century modern, Mediterranean revival, and updated ranch-style homes on tree-lined streets.

Victoria Park is particularly sought after for its walkability, brick streets, and mature landscaping. Many homes have been fully renovated and show well at every price point. Coral Ridge's waterfront lots draw boating buyers who want quick access to Port Everglades and the Atlantic.

School zoning in 33304 includes Bayview Elementary and Sunrise Middle School. However, many buyers in this zip enroll children in private schools, making public school ratings a secondary factor in purchase decisions here.

33305 -- Wilton Manors and North Fort Lauderdale

Zip code 33305 covers parts of Wilton Manors and north Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods adjacent to Oakland Park. Wilton Manors has built a distinct community identity and is known for walkable neighborhood blocks along Wilton Drive.

Prices in 33305 range from $400,000 to $800,000 for single-family homes. The inventory includes 1950s and 1960s CBS (concrete block) homes, many of which have been updated with modern kitchens, new roofs, and impact windows. Pool lots are common and add value.

First, buyers looking for a walkable neighborhood at a lower price point than 33304 frequently end up in 33305. Also, investors find value here due to lower entry prices and strong rental demand driven by proximity to Fort Lauderdale's job centers.

33306 -- Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Adjacent

Zip code 33306 covers a stretch of east Fort Lauderdale bordering Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. It includes the Coral Ridge Country Club area and several canal-front neighborhoods with ocean access.

Prices range from $500,000 for inland homes to $2 million for deepwater canal properties. The canal neighborhoods in 33306 allow sailboats and larger powerboats, making them popular with serious boaters. Many homes have boat lifts, private docks, and direct Intracoastal access.

In addition, 33306 sits close to the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport without being directly under flight paths, which is relevant for buyers who fly private. The neighborhood feel is quieter than Downtown but closer to the beach than western Broward County suburbs.

33308 -- Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Beach Community

Zip code 33308 includes the beachside town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and surrounding neighborhoods. This is one of the more affordable oceanfront zip codes in South Florida.

Prices in 33308 run $400,000 to $1.5 million, with the upper end represented by oceanfront condo buildings and renovated single-family homes steps from the beach. The town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea maintains a small-town beach character that appeals strongly to buyers tired of high-rise living.

The town has its own business district, independent restaurants, and a protected reef just offshore that makes it a popular dive destination. For buyers who want beach proximity without Miami Beach or Las Olas prices, 33308 consistently offers the best value per foot in this corridor.

33309 and 33310 -- Tamarac Area

Zip codes 33309 and 33310 cover the Tamarac area in northwest Broward County, adjacent to Fort Lauderdale's western edge. These are suburban, value-oriented zip codes with strong 55+ community presence.

Prices run $300,000 to $500,000 for single-family homes and condos. First-time buyers and retirees on fixed incomes find 33309 and 33310 accessible where most of Fort Lauderdale has priced them out. However, buyers should note HOA fees in 55+ communities can run $300 to $600 per month.

Investors find value in these zips due to lower acquisition costs and consistent rental demand from healthcare workers and families who need affordable housing near Fort Lauderdale job centers.

33312 -- West Fort Lauderdale and Davie Adjacent

Zip code 33312 covers west Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods near Davie, including areas along the New River and Stirling Road. This is a family-oriented zip with more land per dollar than eastern Fort Lauderdale.

Prices in 33312 range from $350,000 to $600,000. The housing stock includes 1970s and 1980s single-family homes on larger lots, newer townhomes, and a mix of older condos. School quality is solid, with access to some of Broward County's better-rated elementary schools.

For buyers with children who want to stay within Fort Lauderdale boundaries but need more space for less money, 33312 is a practical choice. Commute times to Fort Lauderdale's employment centers are manageable, and I-595 access connects easily to I-95 and the Turnpike.

33313, 33314, and 33317 -- Plantation Area

These three zip codes cover the Plantation area, one of Broward County's established planned communities. Plantation was developed in the 1950s and 1960s as a master-planned suburb with curving streets, lakes, and community parks.

Prices range from $350,000 to $700,000. Plantation is known for good public schools, wide streets, mature trees, and a suburban quality of life that draws families from Miami-Dade who want more space. The Plantation Preserve Golf Course and Plantation Central Park add amenity value to the community.

Also, Plantation's central Broward location puts it within 20 to 30 minutes of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Downtown Fort Lauderdale, and the beaches -- without the coastal price premium.

33316 -- Bahia Mar and Fort Lauderdale Beach

Zip code 33316 covers the Fort Lauderdale Beach area, including Bahia Mar, the 17th Street corridor, and some of the city's most valuable oceanfront real estate.

Prices here start around $800,000 for smaller condos and reach $5 million or more for high-floor oceanfront units in premium buildings. This is luxury buyer territory. The W Fort Lauderdale, 1 Hotel, and Ritz-Carlton properties operate in this zip, reflecting its positioning in the market.

The 17th Street corridor is home to one of the largest marina complexes in North America -- Bahia Mar -- and the Broward County Convention Center. Demand in 33316 is driven by international buyers, snowbirds, and high-net-worth individuals who want to be as close to the beach as possible without going to Miami Beach.

33319 -- Sunrise

Zip code 33319 covers most of Sunrise, a large suburban city in northwest Broward County. Sunrise is best known for the BB&T Center (now Amerant Bank Arena), home of the Florida Panthers NHL team.

Prices in 33319 range from $350,000 to $600,000. Sunrise offers solid public schools, affordable entry prices, and quick Turnpike access. Families relocating from New York and New Jersey frequently land in Sunrise because the suburban character and school quality feel familiar.

In addition, the Sawgrass Mills Mall and Sawgrass International Corporate Park make Sunrise a strong employment and retail anchor for western Broward. Buyers who prioritize commute convenience and school quality over beach proximity find 33319 a smart choice.

33334 -- Oakland Park

Zip code 33334 covers Oakland Park, one of Fort Lauderdale's fastest-changing adjacent cities. Oakland Park's main street, Dixie Highway, has seen significant restaurant and brewery investment over the past decade, creating a walkable commercial corridor where none existed before.

Prices in 33334 range from $400,000 to $800,000. Buyers who purchased in Oakland Park five years ago have seen substantial appreciation as the neighborhood transformed. First-time buyers and investors looking for the next up-and-coming area in Broward County frequently look at 33334 today.

For example, craftsman bungalows and CBS homes from the 1950s and 1960s are being renovated throughout the zip, raising surrounding property values. The city's proximity to Fort Lauderdale's employment base and beaches makes it a natural absorption zone for buyers priced out of 33304 and 33301.

33351 -- Lauderhill

Zip code 33351 covers most of Lauderhill, a diverse Broward County city with a significant Caribbean-American community. Lauderhill is home to the Central Broward Regional Park and Stadium, which hosts international cricket matches.

Prices in 33351 range from $250,000 to $450,000. This is one of the most affordable zip codes in the Fort Lauderdale metro. First-time buyers and investors looking for the lowest entry prices in Broward County frequently find opportunities in 33351.

The housing stock is primarily 1970s and 1980s single-family homes, condos, and garden apartments. HOA fees in condo communities can be significant, so buyers should budget carefully. Rental demand is strong, driven by affordability and central location.

How Zip Codes Affect Property Taxes and Services

Fort Lauderdale zip codes cross multiple municipal boundaries. Some zip codes cover the City of Fort Lauderdale, while others include unincorporated Broward County, Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, or Plantation. Municipal boundaries -- not zip codes -- determine millage rates and the level of city services you receive.

For example, a home in the City of Fort Lauderdale pays Fort Lauderdale city taxes on top of Broward County taxes. A home in unincorporated Broward County in a similar zip code pays only county taxes. That difference can amount to $1,000 or more per year on a $500,000 home.

Also, school zone assignments run by the Broward County School District do not always follow zip code boundaries. Two homes on the same block can be assigned to different elementary schools if they straddle a school zone boundary. Always verify the assigned school using the Broward County Public Schools online locator before purchasing if school zones drive your decision.
