Plaza Towers
Plaza Towers is actually two towers — North at 1833 S Ocean Drive and South at 1849 S Ocean Drive — built in 1971–72 on the Intracoastal side of the street, staring across at the ocean and South City Beach Park. Together they hold just over 400 residences in 17- and 18-story buildings with heated pools, saunas, fitness centers, and clubhouse lounges. The proposition is straightforward: waterfront condo living where recent sales have closed between roughly $180K and $310K. Plaza Towers is where Hallandale Beach buyers go when they want the water view without the water-view price — to live in or to rent out.
Plaza Towers Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Which tower is which?
Plaza Towers North stands at 1833 S Ocean Drive — 18 stories, 204 residences, completed around 1972. Plaza Towers South is at 1849 S Ocean Drive — 17 stories, 210 residences, completed around 1971. They operate as one community with shared-style amenities in each building.
❯ Are these oceanfront buildings?
They sit on the west side of S Ocean Drive, fronting the Intracoastal Waterway, directly across from the ocean and the beach park. Units get water views — Intracoastal, and ocean glimpses over the street — at prices well below true oceanfront towers like neighboring Prince George.
❯ What amenities do residents get?
Heated pools, saunas, fitness centers, clubhouse and billiard lounges, laundry facilities, and concierge-style security — the full vintage-Florida package. The South tower’s association is the more commonly referenced of the two, but both buildings deliver the essentials.
❯ What have units been selling for?
Recent closings run from about $180K for 870-square-foot one-bedrooms to around $300K–$310K for 1,200-square-foot two-bedrooms — roughly $205 to $310 per square foot. At those numbers, Plaza Towers is among the most affordable waterfront entries in Hallandale Beach.
❯ Can I rent out my unit?
Yes — rentals are active in both towers, with furnished units popular among seasonal tenants. The low buy-in makes the rental math work for investors; confirm current minimum lease terms with the association before purchasing.
❯ What should a buyer know about the buildings’ age?
Both towers date to the early 1970s, so standard vintage diligence applies: reserves, special assessments, insurance, and restoration history. The reward for that homework is waterfront living at a price point new construction will never touch.
