Coral Ridge was developed in the post-war 1950s boom, when dredging and canal-cutting transformed Fort Lauderdale’s lowlands into prime waterfront property. Its mid-century ranch homes attracted early retirees and families. Over time, the area evolved into a luxury waterfront enclave, with many older homes replaced by modern estates boasting 100+ ft. dockage, infinity pools, and contemporary architecture. The neighborhood’s identity remains tied to boating and golf, anchored by the Coral Ridge Yacht Club and Coral Ridge Country Club, both established in the mid-20th century.
