347 N New River Dr E, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 | Downtown Fort Lauderdale
*Association rules should always be verified directly before purchase or lease.
Located directly along the New River in the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, WaterGarden offers a combination that remains difficult to replicate: true waterfront living, expansive views, resort-style amenities, and a location just steps from Las Olas Boulevard.
Completed in 2004, WaterGarden rises 32 stories above the New River and features 315 residences ranging from one-bedroom condominiums to larger two- and three-bedroom residences and penthouses. The building was designed to take advantage of its riverfront setting, with many residences offering views of the New River, Downtown Fort Lauderdale skyline, and Atlantic Ocean depending on the unit's elevation and exposure.
Unlike newer Downtown Fort Lauderdale developments located several blocks inland, WaterGarden sits directly on the New River. Residents can walk outside and immediately access the Riverwalk area while being only a short walk from the restaurants, shops, nightlife, and galleries of Las Olas Boulevard.
For buyers who want the Downtown Fort Lauderdale lifestyle without moving into one of the area's newer ultra-luxury towers, WaterGarden continues to offer an attractive balance of location, amenities, residence size, and value.
WaterGarden includes a broad selection of floor plans ranging from approximately 820-square-foot one-bedroom residences to larger penthouses approaching 2,000 square feet.
Many residences feature private balconies and large windows designed around the building's waterfront and skyline views.
1-Bedroom Residences (Approximately 820+ Sq. Ft.): Efficient layouts with open living areas, private balconies, and approximately 820 square feet of interior living space.
2-Bedroom Residences (Approximately 1,080 – 1,300+ Sq. Ft.): WaterGarden offers several two-bedroom configurations, including desirable split-bedroom layouts. Depending on the stack, residences can feature direct New River, city, or ocean views.
3-Bedroom Residences (Approximately 1,450+ Sq. Ft.): Larger residences provide additional living space for families, guests, or a dedicated home office.
Penthouse Residences (Up to Approximately 1,900+ Sq. Ft.): WaterGarden's upper floors include larger penthouse residences with elevated views across Downtown Fort Lauderdale, the New River, and surrounding waterways.
Individual finishes vary because WaterGarden is an established resale building and many residences have been renovated or customized by their owners. Depending on the unit, features may include:
Because renovations vary significantly from unit to unit, buyers should compare both the floor plan and level of interior upgrades when evaluating WaterGarden residences.
One of WaterGarden's biggest advantages is the depth of its amenity package. The building was designed as a full-service luxury condominium and offers considerably more than a typical Downtown Fort Lauderdale resale building.
Understanding the association, maintenance fees, and leasing rules is especially important when evaluating a resale condominium in Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
WaterGarden HOA fees vary by residence size and floor plan.
Depending on the residence and current association budget, monthly maintenance fees may include services such as:
Buyers should verify the exact monthly fee and inclusions for the individual residence before purchasing.
WaterGarden is a pet-friendly condominium. Pet limits, size restrictions, and other association requirements should be confirmed directly with the condominium association before purchase.
Its location is particularly convenient for dog owners because residents have immediate access to Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the New River/Riverwalk area for walking.
WaterGarden offers more leasing flexibility than many Fort Lauderdale condominium buildings.
These rules can make WaterGarden attractive to buyers who want a Downtown Fort Lauderdale residence while retaining the ability to lease their property when they are not using it.
Association rules can change, so buyers should verify current restrictions during due diligence.
WaterGarden is located at 347 N New River Dr E, directly on the New River in Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Its location is one of the strongest reasons buyers continue to consider the building. Residents are within walking distance of Las Olas Boulevard while enjoying a waterfront residential setting slightly removed from the busiest sections of the boulevard.
Within Walking Distance:
Fort Lauderdale Beach is also just a short drive east, making WaterGarden convenient for buyers who want both a walkable downtown lifestyle and easy access to the beach.
Whether you are looking to purchase a residence at WaterGarden, compare available floor plans, evaluate recent sales, or sell your WaterGarden condo, work with a Fort Lauderdale Realtor who understands the differences between individual stacks, views, renovations, parking, storage, and recent comparable sales within the building.
