Poinsettia Heights sits in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, a quiet residential pocket close to the water and just north of the city's core. The character here is low-key and lived-in — single-family homes with pools (24 of the 38 active listings have one), a handful of waterfront properties, and easy proximity to neighborhoods like Coral Ridge and Victoria Park. It's the kind of place where you can be at the beach or Central Beach in minutes without paying full oceanfront prices.
For buyers, the market reads as a real range: 38 active listings run from $279,000 to $2,625,000, with a median list price just under $1M and 14 new-construction homes in the mix. Homes are moving in about 35 days and sellers are getting 94% of asking, so there's room to negotiate but not a firesale.
