Dania Beach sits right on the Atlantic between Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, a small coastal city where you're minutes from the sand, the Intracoastal and the airport all at once. It's an easygoing, unpretentious corner of Broward County that draws boaters, beach regulars and buyers who want South Florida access without the resort-town markup. The housing stock runs from older single-family blocks to a growing wave of condos and townhomes near the water.
For buyers, the market here is more approachable than much of the coast. With 215 active listings and a median list price of $390,000, you'll find everything from condos under $200k to multimillion-dollar waterfront homes. Homes are taking a median 57 days to sell, which gives you room to negotiate, and a crop of new construction is adding fresh inventory to the mix.
Dania Beach is in Broward County, Florida.

Living in Dania Beach
Dania Beach is one of the oldest cities in Broward County, a compact coastal community wedged between Fort Lauderdale to the north and Hollywood to the south. It stretches from the Atlantic beach across the Intracoastal to older inland neighborhoods, giving it a genuine dual identity: part beach town, part workaday South Florida city. It has never carried the gloss of its larger neighbors, and for a lot of buyers that's exactly the appeal — you get the water and the location without the pretension or the premium.
The city suits a range of people: boaters who want canal and Intracoastal access, beach regulars, retirees drawn to the 55+ options, and first-time buyers priced out of flashier Broward addresses. The housing is a mix of mid-century single-family blocks, mobile home parks, and a steady stream of newer condos and townhomes. It's not a master-planned suburb — it's a real, slightly gritty, lived-in place.
Daily life leans practical and low-key. You're close to the sand and the water while still having quick access to the rest of Broward's job centers and services. For buyers who value location and value over polish, Dania Beach is a logical landing spot in Broward County.
Neighborhoods and communities in Dania Beach
For a small city, Dania Beach has a surprising number of named communities, many of them condo and townhome developments. Meadowbrook Lakes shows up repeatedly — Meadowbrook Lakes Condo, Meadowbrook Lakes View and Meadowbrook Lakes itself — forming a recognizable condo cluster that tends to anchor the more affordable end of the market. Buyers watching their budget often start here among the townhomes and condos.
Villas At Harbor Isles and Danians North Condo add to the attached-home options, while Ravenswood North and Royal Palm Vista lean toward more traditional residential pockets. Dania Preserve is another community name buyers will encounter in the mix. Each has its own fee structure and rules, so the community matters as much as the individual unit — particularly in a condo-heavy market like this one.
Because so much of the inventory is attached housing, your choice often comes down to building and community rather than street. If gated living is a priority, note there are only 11 gated listings active at any given time, so selection is limited. Tour several communities before narrowing down, since dues, age restrictions and amenities vary considerably.
Homes for sale in Dania Beach: prices and housing
The current market shows 215 active listings with a median list price of $390,000. The range is wide — from about $120,000 at the low end to $5,499,000 at the top — reflecting a market that spans entry-level condos and multimillion-dollar waterfront. Average price per square foot sits at $341, with a median home size around 1,196 square feet, numbers that confirm this is a market built heavily on smaller, attached homes.
The housing mix bears that out: 87 condominiums, 83 single-family residences, 26 townhouses and 11 mobile homes among active listings. Waterfront is a real presence with 63 listings, and 65 homes come with a pool. There are 41 55+ listings, 22 properties over $1M, and 18 new construction options for buyers who want something fresh.
On the cost side, median property tax runs about $4,915 per year, and median rent sits around $2,200 a month. HOA fees aren't cleanly summarized across this market, which is important because condo and townhome dues can be substantial — always confirm the figure per property. Homes are taking a median 57 days to sell and recent sellers have been achieving essentially full asking, so price your expectations accordingly and keep an eye on the just reduced listings for leverage.
Schools in Dania Beach
Dania Beach is served by Broward County Public Schools. Among the most commonly assigned schools in the area are Dania Beach, Collins and Bethune at the elementary level, along with Mary M., Stirling, Harbordale and Olsen appearing among the assignments for area addresses. These are the names tied to properties in the data, and they give a starting point for families researching the area.
Attendance zones in Broward are address-specific and can change, so never assume a given school based on the neighborhood name alone. The single most reliable step is to run the exact property address through the district's official school locator before making an offer.
If schools are a deciding factor, build zone verification into your home search from the start rather than treating it as an afterthought. Because Dania Beach is compact, a move of just a few blocks can land you in a different assignment.
Getting around Dania Beach
Dania Beach's biggest practical advantage is location. It sits directly between Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, with the Atlantic beach on one side and the Intracoastal running through the city, so you're close to water, airport access and major Broward corridors at once.
Specific drive times aren't available in the current data, so it's worth testing your own commute at the hours you'd actually travel. Traffic patterns on South Florida's main arteries vary a lot between rush hour and midday, and a short map distance can mean very different real-world times.
For boaters, the Intracoastal and canal access is a genuine selling point, which is part of why waterfront homes draw strong interest here. If being on the water matters to your lifestyle, factor dock access and navigability into your search alongside the drive.
Is Dania Beach a good place to live?
For the right buyer, Dania Beach delivers a rare combination: coastal and Intracoastal access in Broward County at prices well below the flashier neighboring cities. With a median list price of $390,000 and options starting around $120,000, it's one of the more attainable entry points to beach-adjacent living in the area. The heavy condo and townhome supply means there's a path in for first-timers, downsizers and investors alike.
The trade-offs are honest ones. This is an older, less polished city than Fort Lauderdale, much of the inventory is smaller attached housing, and HOA dues on condos can add meaningfully to your monthly cost — so budget carefully. With homes sitting a median 57 days on market, buyers have some negotiating room, but sellers have been holding close to asking on recent sales.
If you want proximity to the beach, the water and the airport without paying a resort premium, Dania Beach is worth a serious look. Start by browsing single-family homes and open houses this week to get a feel for what your budget buys across the city's distinct neighborhoods.

Dania Beach real estate FAQs
Is Dania Beach a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want beach and Intracoastal access in a smaller, less polished setting than Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood. The mix of older single-family neighborhoods and newer townhomes and condos means there's an entry point for most budgets. You're trading big-city polish for proximity and value.
Is Dania Beach expensive?+
It's more affordable than much of coastal Broward, with a median list price of $390,000 and a range that starts around $120,000. The condo-heavy inventory keeps the low end accessible, while waterfront and $1M+ homes anchor the top of the market at up to $5,499,000. There's genuine spread here for different budgets.
What do homes cost in Dania Beach?+
The median list price is $390,000 and the average price per square foot is $341, with a median home size around 1,196 square feet. You can browse the lower tier among homes under $200k or step up to pool and waterfront properties. Prices scale sharply depending on whether you're buying a condo or a single-family home on the water.
How is the Dania Beach housing market right now?+
There are 215 active listings and homes are sitting a median of 57 days on market, which is a reasonably balanced pace that favors prepared buyers. Sellers have been getting close to full asking on recent sales, so sharp pricing still matters. Checking the just reduced listings is a smart way to spot motivated sellers.
What are HOA fees and property taxes like?+
Median property tax runs about $4,915 per year based on current data. HOA fees vary widely by building and community and aren't reliably summarized here, so budget per-property, especially in condo buildings where dues can be significant. Always confirm the exact HOA figure on any condo or townhome before you commit.
What schools serve Dania Beach?+
Assigned schools in the area include Dania Beach, Collins and Bethune elementary options, along with Mary M., Stirling, Harbordale and Olsen among the most common. Because zoning in Broward can shift block to block, verify the exact assigned schools for any specific address before buying. The district's school locator tool is the reliable source.
Is there new construction in Dania Beach?+
Yes — there are 18 active new construction listings, a meaningful share for a city this size. Much of the newer product is condos and townhomes near the water. New builds are worth comparing against older single-family resales, which often sit on larger lots.
Can I find waterfront or pool homes here?+
Absolutely — 63 active listings are waterfront and 65 come with a pool, both strong numbers for the area. There are also 11 gated listings and a single golf-oriented property for buyers with specific priorities. Start with the waterfront homes if the Intracoastal is your draw.
