Poinsettia Heights sits in the northeast quadrant of Fort Lauderdale, close enough to the ocean and the Intracoastal to feel like a beach neighborhood while keeping the quiet, tree-lined streets of an established residential pocket. It's a low-density, single-family enclave where pool decks outnumber high-rises — 24 of the 37 active listings have private pools — and where you can shape a mid-century ranch or step into new construction on the same block. If you want the pace of a settled neighborhood without giving up the water access this side of town is known for, this is the trade you're looking for.
The market here skews upmarket: the median list price is an even $1,000,000, and 19 of the 37 active homes carry seven-figure asks, with a full range from $279,000 up to $2,625,000. Sellers are getting about 94% of asking, homes take a median of 39 days to move, and the median sold price over the last year landed at $805,000 — a reminder that list and sold prices tell two different stories. Twelve of the active listings are new construction, so buyers weighing a renovation against a turnkey build have real options.

Poinsettia Heights FAQs
Is Poinsettia Heights a good place to live?+
It's an established single-family neighborhood in northeast Fort Lauderdale with quiet streets, easy access to the beach and Intracoastal, and a heavy concentration of pool homes. Families lean on the Nova school cluster, including Nova High School, while the low-rise character keeps it calmer than the coastal condo corridors like Galt Mile.
Is Poinsettia Heights expensive?+
It sits at the upper end of the Fort Lauderdale market, with a median list price of $1,000,000 and 19 of 37 active homes asking $1M or more. That said, the range runs from $279,000 to $2,625,000, so entry points exist below the median for buyers willing to renovate.
What do homes cost in Poinsettia Heights?+
Active listings average about $601 per square foot on a median home size of 2,079 square feet, and the median list price is $1,000,000. Actual sold prices tell a more grounded story — the median sold price over the last 12 months was $805,000 across 22 closings.
How is the market right now?+
There are 37 active listings and homes are taking a median of 39 days to sell, so it's neither frantic nor stalled. Sellers are averaging 94% of their asking price, which means well-priced homes move and there's room to negotiate on the ambitious ones — check the live map for current activity.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Most homes here are single-family with no reported HOA, so you're not carrying a monthly association fee. Property taxes run a median of about $10,542 per year, which tracks with the neighborhood's price point in Broward County.
