Waterfront and Water-View Apartments in Hallandale Beach

By Zach Curtis, licensed agent, Realty Hub, SL3664129. Updated October 18, 2026. General information, not legal advice.

Water is the main reason many people want Hallandale Beach. But "waterfront" in a listing can mean very different things: a beachfront tower, a unit facing the Intracoastal, a townhome on a canal, or a partial view of a lake from a balcony. Today there are 1043 live listings from $1,500 to $6,000 a month (median $2,850) near Hallandale Beach whose listing mentions the ocean, Intracoastal, a canal, lake or a water view.

Asking rents (not signed leases) from the long-term $1,500 to $6,000 listings in RentedFirst's BeachesMLS feed, calculated when this page loaded. Seasonal and short-term listings are excluded.

The four kinds of "waterfront"

Oceanfront. The building sits on the beach, mostly along South Ocean Drive. Ocean-side units usually ask more than city-side units in the same building.
Intracoastal. Buildings and townhomes along the Intracoastal Waterway, with boat traffic views and sometimes docks.
Canal and lake. Golden Isles and Three Islands have many units on canals and lakes.
Water view. Not on the water, but you can see it. "Partial" or "peek-a-boo" views can be small.

What to check before you sign

See the view yourself from inside the unit, ideally at the time of day you would be home.
Storm readiness. Ask about impact windows or shutters, and who installs shutters before a storm. Look up the flood zone on FEMA's flood map service center and buy renter's insurance; standard renter's policies often exclude flood, so ask your insurer.
Balcony rules. Some buildings close balconies during repairs or ban grills.
Building projects. Many Florida condo buildings three stories or higher must complete milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies (section 718.112(2)(g)-(h), Florida Statutes). Ask whether repairs are planned that could affect the pool, parking or balconies during your lease.
Docks. If you have a boat, a dock is rarely included automatically. Ask.
Lease term. Waterfront units are often marketed seasonally. We show long-term rentals; read seasonal vs annual rentals.

Getting water without the top price

Look at Intracoastal or canal units instead of oceanfront.
Take a lower floor or a side view in a beach building.
Check nearby cities: Hollywood and Aventura both have Intracoastal buildings.

Fair housing: every listing is open to everyone. We describe buildings, prices and processes, never who lives where.

Costs that come with the water

Waterfront units can carry extra costs that do not show in the rent: higher electric bills on sun-facing glass, paid parking in beach buildings, and sometimes higher renter's insurance. Some buildings also charge for beach service. Ask for the full monthly picture before you compare a waterfront unit with an inland one.

Hurricane season basics for renters

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Before you sign a waterfront lease, ask the building how it notifies residents before a storm, whether it closes garages or elevators during evacuations, and who handles shutters for your unit. Keep important documents in a waterproof folder and know your county's evacuation zone, which Broward and Miami-Dade publish online.

Finally, visit at high tide on a windy day if you can, especially for canal and Intracoastal units; it is the easiest way to see how the property handles water.
