Lazy Lake Condo Guide
A private lake sits at the center of Lazy Lake, ringed by roughly a dozen homes and surrounded entirely by Wilton Manors. It ranks among Florida's smallest municipalities, and years can pass between listings.
Thirteen Houses, One Republic
Lazy Lake holds a record almost nobody can challenge: it is among the smallest incorporated municipalities in the United States — thirteen homes arranged around a private lake, entirely encircled by Wilton Manors, with a population of a couple dozen and a government that convenes only when there is something to decide. Born of a plat-book oddity in 1953, the village has declined every annexation overture since, preserving a one-lake sovereignty that delights map enthusiasts and trivia hosts alike.
For a buyer, the proposition is equal parts novelty and substance. Every one of the thirteen homes fronts the water by definition, Wilton Manors' restaurant-lined main street is a short walk beyond the hedge, and ownership includes a stake in the most exclusive obscurity in Broward County. Listings surface years apart, valuations lean on Wilton Manors' waterfront streets with a collector's premium attached, and the diligence list is charmingly brief — the micro-government's shared-lake stewardship and the usual midcentury-home checklist. There is simply nothing else like it.
Outside the Hedge
The village's practical geography belongs to its host city: Wilton Drive's dining and nightlife are minutes away on foot, downtown Fort Lauderdale is a ten-minute drive, and the beach roughly fifteen. The Middle River's paddling routes wind nearby for anyone whose water ambitions extend beyond the namesake lake.
Buying a Condo or Home in Lazy Lake
Much of the demand here comes down to one of Florida's smallest villages, built around a lake. Use the bedroom and property-type benchmarks to see where your budget lands in Lazy Lake, then shortlist buildings before you shortlist units — the association behind a condo shapes your monthly cost as much as the floor plan does. Any listing you open puts the photos, the unit record and the broker one tap away.
A mortgage-backed purchase in South Florida generally needs a month to six weeks to reach closing; an all-cash buyer can finish in roughly half that. For a condo, build in time for the association application and board interview, ask early for the budget, reserve study and milestone-inspection status, and get windstorm and flood quotes before writing an offer. Started on day one, none of this slows a Lazy Lake purchase down.
Leasing in Lazy Lake
Sensibly priced Lazy Lake rentals rarely sit; many lease within a few weeks, and landlords commonly collect the first and last month's rent plus a security deposit at signing. Condo rentals also need the association's tenant approval, which runs on the board's calendar. The signed-rent table shows what tenants agreed to pay by bedroom count during the past year, and the rental map shows what is open for lease today.

Lazy Lake Condo & Home Buying Questions
Why do condo values in Lazy Lake vary so much from one building to the next?
Lazy Lake draws buyers for one of Florida's smallest villages, built around a lake, yet condo pricing here is set tower by tower: construction era, reserve funding, amenities, insurance costs and view lines can separate two buildings on the same block. Treat the closed-sale benchmarks in this guide as the baseline, then compare individual buildings before you narrow down to a unit.
Where can I find recent sale prices for Lazy Lake?
The Lazy Lake benchmarks near the top of this guide report the past year's median closed price, price per square foot and bedroom-level medians. They are recalculated from recorded MLS closings as new ones post, so you are never reading a quarterly report that went stale weeks ago.
Is a condo or a single-family house the better fit in Lazy Lake?
Start with the property-type table, which shows how condo closings in Lazy Lake compare with houses and townhouses. Choosing a condo makes the association's budget, reserves, master insurance policy and approval process part of your purchase; choosing a house makes the roof, windstorm coverage and upkeep yours alone. Each property type has its own map search in the links further down.
