About Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is known as the "Venice of America." It has a 165 mile network of navigable waterways. Situated on south Florida's booming coast, it is a popular beach resort and also caters to those interested in boating and yachting. Back in the 1800's Major William Lauderdale was stationed here. Originally the area survived on its agriculture and orange groves until the 1950's at which time it began to be known as a seaside resort. With its delightful sub-tropical weather the city has a sophisticated and unobtrusive feel to it. The Greater Fort Lauderdale community extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the edge of the Everglades, some 25 miles to the west.

Our CRTE residents. The number of year-round residents at CRTE is substantial. Like most Florida communities, the number of part time residents increases during Florida's high season and decreases during low season. Our homeowners consist of persons 55 years and older who are retired and semi-retired, as well as those who continue to work full time. We enjoy the many amenities at our co-operative, as well as our delightful weather. Most of us originally come from "up North."

CRTE lobby

Swimming pool, shuffleboard, bocci court, exercise room, clubhouse and more. We have a fully heated 30 x 60 foot outdoor swimming pool with depths ranging from 3 to 9 feet. The pool temperature is maintained at 86 ^oF with some fluctuation caused by ambient weather. Shuffleboard courts, tables with umbrellas, lounge chairs and a shower are alongside the pool.

In 2008 several CRTE homeowners hand-built a new bocci court, a game which has proved quite popular.

A small fitness center with tread mills and exercise equipment is available on the ground floor near the pool. The room is air-conditioned.

Our clubhouse is located directly on the intracoastal waterway about ½ block from the main building. The front of the clubhouse faces the intracoastal waterway and allows residents to relax and enjoy seeing the boats and yachts which travel up and down the famous waterway.

Our main building has 24/7 security, a large lobby and equally large social room. Each apartment has an assigned parking slot.

The Galt Ocean Mile is a mile-long strip along the ocean running north from Oakland Park Blvd to the area where Fort Lauderdale meets Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. The Galt is literally across the A1A roadway from Coral Ride Towers East. Many CRTE residents and guests take daily walks along the magnificent mile.
