La Mer South Frequently Asked Questions
❯ How does South compare with La Mer East and West?
South is the tallest and the only directly oceanfront tower of the three: 24 stories at 1904 S Ocean Dr, built in 1970. La Mer West (1880 S Ocean Dr, 17 floors, 110 units, 1975) and La Mer East (1890 S Ocean Dr, circa 1972) are smaller and set slightly inland. Each tower has its own association, fees, and rental rules.
❯ What are the residences like?
Recent listings show two-bedroom, two-bath floor plans of roughly 1,350 to 1,440 square feet — generous by modern standards — with balconies oriented to the ocean, city, or Intracoastal. Many units retain classic layouts that renovators prize: separate living and dining areas, walk-in closets, and kitchens with room to expand.
❯ Is the building directly on the ocean?
Yes. Listings classify La Mer South as oceanfront, and upper-floor eastern exposures look straight out over the Atlantic. Lower floors trade panoramic height for proximity to the pool deck and gardens. Decide your priority — view height versus outdoor living — before choosing a floor.
❯ What amenities do owners share?
The Estates grounds deliver a swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness center, clubhouse, business center, library, hobby room, barbecue areas, sauna, spa, shuffleboard, and laundry facilities, all behind a guarded, walled entry with secured lobbies and elevators.
❯ Are short-term rentals allowed?
No — this is a long-term community. Expect annual-lease minimums and association approval, consistent with the Estates' stable resident profile. Investors should underwrite for yearly tenants and confirm the current lease terms and any rental caps directly with the association.
❯ What does it cost to own here beyond the purchase price?
Monthly HOA dues on recent two-bedroom listings have run roughly $850 to $1,450 depending on unit and association budgets, plus property taxes and insurance. Ask for the current budget, reserve study, and assessment history — the three numbers that determine true carrying cost in any 1970s tower.

The Tallest View in the Estates
Height is La Mer South's entire argument. From the upper floors, the Atlantic stretches east to the horizon while the Intracoastal threads west beneath the sunset — a dual-water view that shorter neighboring buildings simply cannot offer. For view-driven buyers, few addresses in Hallandale deliver this much panorama per dollar.
A Steady Long-Term Rental Market
Condos for rent at La Mer South attract tenants who want oceanfront high-rise living on annual leases: professionals working the Aventura–Hallandale corridor and seasonal residents who prefer a full year. For sellers, condos for sale at La Mer South compete on price-per-square-foot against newer towers while offering larger floor plans — a combination that keeps resale demand consistent.
