How Big of a Boat can I have?
If you’re in the market for a new home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, there are a few things you should consider before making a purchase. Among them are dock setbacks and bridge height clearance. These may seem like small details, but they can have a big impact on the enjoyment of your new home and its future value.
Bridge Height Clearance
Fort Lauderdale is home to a number of bridges that span the Intracoastal Waterway, which connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. These bridges are essential for transportation in the area, but they can also be a source of frustration for boat owners.
When buying a house in Fort Lauderdale, it’s important to consider the bridge height clearance if you own a boat or plan to purchase one in the future. Make sure you know the clearance height of the bridges in the area and measure your boat to ensure it will be able to pass underneath.
In our years of selling real estate, we have found that it is not always very easy to find the heights of every bridge here in South Florida. For that reason, I built this bridge map to make things a bit easier for you.
In summary, dock setbacks and bridge height clearance may seem like small details, but they can have a big impact on your enjoyment of your new home. If you want more details or have any questions about what neighborhood could be best for you, give me a call. I’d be happy to hear from you.
