The Satori Blog

When you're looking at South Florida apartments for rent, it's all about location, location, location. If you want to be surrounded by the best attractions, you'll want to rent an apartment in Fort Lauderdale: midway between Orlando and Miami, where ocean meets urbanity. That's where you'll find Satori, the most conveniently placed luxury apartment rental community in South Florida. It's an all-inclusive location where residents are practically in beachside apartments, but also just minutes away from golf courses, outlet malls, shopping centers, performance venues and downtown nightlife.

Thanks to placement by main highways such as I-95 and I-595, just a short drive will take Satori tenants to any of the following hip locales:

• Broward Center for the Performing Arts (1.5 miles)
• Museum of Discovery and Science (1.5 miles)
• Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art (1.5 miles)
• Riverfront (2 miles)
• Las Olas Boulevard (2 miles)
• Beach Place (2 miles)
• Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (11 miles)
• Bank Atlantic Center (12 miles)
• Sawgrass Mall (12 miles)
• Mizner Park (14 miles)

As a Satori resident, you can not only enjoy fun outings--such as an art festival along the Intracoastal Waterway (2 miles) or a baseball game at Land Shark Stadium (14 miles)--you're also central to all of your everyday needs. From shopping malls (Galleria - 1 mile) to grocery stores (Whole Foods - 1.5 miles) and movie theaters (Gateway - 0.5 miles), Satori places you close to the resources you value.

Unlike many Ft. Lauderdale rentals, Satori also provides its tenants with the space they need to settle in and get comfortable. Often, in return for real estate close to Downtown Fort Lauderdale, apartment units compensate by being tiny and tightly packed (and they're located in sky-high towers that make tenants feel like they're living in an office building). But at Satori, we want you to enjoy the lifestyle amenities of a real community; along with your Fort Lauderdale apartment you'll gain a parking garage with valet, a clubhouse with a gym and spa, an outdoor pool and cabana area, a Zen meditation garden and a bark park. Apartment floor plans are designed with spacious, light-filled rooms and plenty of storage. At Satori, we provide the space you need to raise a family, host a fantastic dinner party or just spread out and make yourself at home. And you still have prime access to all of the hottest happenings downtown, at an affordable price.

Satori combines the amenities of a luxury rental apartment community with the proximity to all of your lifestyle needs-from everyday to special events. Satori is conveniently located on E. Sunrise Boulevard, enveloped by the best that Fort Lauderdale has to offer. 

One of the most exciting aspects of the Satori apartment rental community is its proximity to downtown Fort Lauderdale's renowned attractions, as well as the fine dining and fun activities of neighboring Wilton Manors. But sometimes the perfect night out isn't a boisterous concert or big-budget meal. Sometimes it's just sharing a relaxing movie-going experience with someone special, followed by a satisfying bite at the right romantic restaurant. And how about ending the evening with a tranquil stroll back to your apartment for lingering conversation and a goodnight kiss? Well, if this date night sounds like your ideal Friday evening, then you're in luck, because Satori is located just a short walk from the Gateway Plaza, where you can watch the latest box office hit and then step next door to Il Mulino Cucina Italiana for a glass of wine and savory Italian fare.

Just a few blocks east on Sunrise Boulevard from the entrance to Satori you'll find the Gateway Plaza. This well-known landmark features Sunrise Cinemas at Gateway, the city's oldest venue for popular and independent, foreign and domestic films-from Old Hollywood classics to the newest blockbusters. Whether it's a romantic comedy to set the tone for your date night, or a scary thriller that will be the perfect excuse to cozy closer to your companion, Sunrise Cinemas always offers a variety of movies for a reasonable $9 per person. Getting lost in a story with someone you cherish is the perfect way to end your week-or to begin a new relationship.

Just a few doors down from Sunrise Cinemas in the Gateway Plaza is Il Mulino Cucina Italiana. Il Mulino is a relaxed, intimate bistro serving traditional Italian favorites, ranging from homemade pasta to brick-oven pizza. For your romantic evening, we suggest starting out with an appetizer of mussels and clams (rumored to be an all-natural aphrodisiac), which are served pan-sautéed with wine, tomato and basil sauce. Sharing courses is a unique way to bond with your dinner companion, which is why we recommend an antipasto salad for two, followed by an easy-to-share entrée such as the Il Mulino specialty of Sea Bass Francese, a sizeable portion of fresh fish seared in wine lemon butter sauce and served with a side of primavera pasta. And every course should be coupled with the perfect glass of red or white wine, which your server can recommend. To add to your good spirits, you'll be pleased to find that your entire meal for two totals less than fifty dollars (making it easy for you to treat your date and make the right impression).
