About Lighthouse Point
After World War II, developers dredged miles of canals to create boat-accessible lots. Soon after, residents voted to incorporate in June 1956, and the city formalized its charter the following year. The name pays tribute to the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, an iron tower built in 1907. Geographically, the city covers 2.4 square miles of mostly dry land between the Intracoastal Waterway on the east and Federal Highway on the west.
Pompano Beach borders it to the south, while Deerfield Beach borders it to the north. Lighthouse Point shares no road bridge with Hillsboro Beach across the Intracoastal. The original 1950s canal grid still anchors subdivisions such as Hillsboro Isles, Venetian Isles, and Lighthouse Manors. The footprint falls inside Broward County, roughly 35 minutes north of Fort Lauderdale.
Lighthouse Point Real Estate
Roughly 80% of residents live in single-family homes facing a canal or the Intracoastal. As of early 2026, the median sale price reached $1.1 million, while the median price per square foot climbed to $554. Lighthouse Point Homes for Sale span from the high $400,000s for inland properties to over $40 million for waterfront trophy estates.
Lighthouse Point Condos for Sale begin in the high $200,000s for two-bedroom units east of Federal Highway. Meanwhile, the new Lighthouse Point Yacht Club Townhomes offer 3- and 4-bedroom waterfront units with dockage. Waterfront Homes in Lighthouse Point also command a premium when their canals carry no fixed bridges, since any size yacht can then reach the Atlantic through the Hillsboro Inlet. A Lighthouse Point Real Estate Agent guides buyers through canal-by-canal differences in clearance and lot size. Luxury Homes in Lighthouse Point often trade privately before reaching public sites.
