1317 NE 1st Avenue

Sunrise on 1st presents a rare duplex offering in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, blending versatile living arrangements with strong income potential. Situated less than two miles from the beach and the vibrant Las Olas corridor, the property enjoys a prime location with immediate access to lifestyle amenities, shopping, dining, and major employment centers.
Property Overview
The front residence is a well-appointed two-bedroom, one-bathroom home with open living spaces, while the rear residence is a private one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit featuring a dedicated deck—perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Both units are equipped with in-unit washers and dryers, a highly desirable feature for renters. The grounds include a spacious, landscaped backyard anchored by a tranquil pond and waterfall, creating a private retreat for tenants or an owner-occupant.
Occupancy & Use Flexibility
The property is currently available for lease, offering options for investors and end-users alike. An owner could occupy one unit while generating rental income from the other, or it could serve as a multi-generational home with an in-law suite. For investors, the property's location and layout make it especially well-suited for short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb or VRBO, as well as turnkey furnished rentals aimed at the growing relocation and corporate housing market.
Income Potential
Market rents in the immediate area support approximately $2,800/month for the two-bedroom front unit and $2,100/month for the one-bedroom rear unit, creating a projected combined gross monthly income of $4,900 (or $58,800 annually). Short term rents 3,000 to 4,500 monthly plus. With limited supply of quality duplexes in this submarket, and with demand for both long-term and furnished short-term housing continuing to rise, the property offers strong yield potential.
