Private, gated Downtown Fort Lauderdale living with the city and waterways at your doorstep.
On the water, a stone's throw from Victoria Park and in the heart of the action, Sunrise Key is easy to miss among Fort Lauderdale's island options. Accessible via Sunrise Key Boulevard off Victoria Park's western edge, the gated enclave holds approximately 75 customized homes, most with water views and dockage, and many with backyard pools.
The key's southern edge runs along the Rio Barcelona Canal, a direct route to the Intracoastal Waterway. Boating access to the New River, Stranahan River and Atlantic Ocean, via Port Everglades, is minutes away, and surrounding canals make for easy kayaking and paddleboarding in what's often called "the Venice of America."
Sunrise Key is anchored by Sunrise Key Boulevard, with five named drives (including 1st Key Drive and 2nd Key Drive) running north to south, each holding a handful of homes on cul-de-sacs. Within three blocks, North Victoria Park Road offers a scenic stroll under mature bougainvillea trees past some of Fort Lauderdale's most stately homes. Annie Beck Park sits nearby with canal-side walking paths. About 10 blocks north, Sunrise Boulevard offers multiple grocery stores, Galleria Mall, George English Park and access to the Atlantic Ocean.
Within 5 minutes, Gran Forno Bakery on Las Olas Boulevard serves handcrafted coffee alongside fresh bread, quiches, muffins and cakes; a second location, Gran Forno Pronto, sits about 5 minutes further west on the boulevard.
On Sunrise Boulevard between Northeast 19th and 20th Avenues, a shopping center houses Big Louie's Pizzeria, Heart Rock Sushi and Thai and Brgr Stop. Galleria Mall, within a mile on Sunrise Boulevard, anchors with Dillard's, Macy's and an Apple Store, plus dining options including The Capital Grille, Seasons 52 and Blue Martini. George English Park, about 10 blocks away, adds tennis and pickleball courts, a baseball field, and canoe and kayak rentals through Blue Moon Outdoor Adventures.

Sunrise Key's roughly 75 gated homes trade in an ultra-luxury tier, with a 12-month median sale price near $13 million, though this reflects a very small number of transactions in a given year.
