Compare Apartments in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
2 property profiles · Compare recorded details, advertised rents and editorial feedback summaries where available.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's rental stock is almost entirely made up of individually owned condo and co-op units rather than large, professionally managed apartment complexes — a reflection of the town's small size, high homeownership rate, and narrow barrier-island footprint between Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach.
As of mid-2026, apartment-style rentals in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea average around $1,752 a month for a one-bedroom and $2,742 for a two-bedroom, up roughly 2.5% year over year, with oceanfront buildings commanding significantly more than inland, Bougainvilla Drive-area units.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Many Florida leases require it, and standard policies generally do not cover flood damage — that may require separate coverage, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. A recurring theme in public resident feedback is fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
How this apartment research is made
How we build these pages: we examine publicly available resident feedback from sources such as Google, ApartmentRatings, Yelp and Reddit, then summarize recurring themes in our own words. We don't copy review text or display third-party star ratings. Paid partner modules are labeled and do not alter the editorial summary. Trade-offs reflect what residents report — experiences vary. Rent ranges come from public listings and change often; always confirm current pricing, fees and policies with the property directly.
