WILTON MANORS
Wilton Manors has much to offer those relocating to Greater Fort Lauderdale. Known as the Island City, Wilton Manors nuzzles the two forks of the Middle River and is a refreshing urban commune of pricey, sought-after homes between Sunrise Boulevard and Oakland Park Boulevard, bisected by Andrews Avenue. Sunrise and Oakland Park boulevards are busy commercial thoroughfares with an assortment of office buildings, restaurants, movie theaters, and chic shopping storefronts.
CORAL RIDGE
One of the great reasons Coral Ridge is such a desirable neighborhood is its proximity to two major shopping centers, the Galleria Mall and Coral Ridge Shopping Center, acclaimed restaurants, excellent, A-rated public and private schools, and nearby houses of worship. It's conveniently located between Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach in beautiful South Florida.
CORAL RIDGE CC
The Country Club's Trent Jones 18-hole golf course is never at a loss for golfers who enjoy the challenge. A junior Olympic-size swimming pool along with clay and all-weather tennis courts are other highlights. Four levels of membership are available depending on your primary interests.
Many homes built in the 1950s have been renovated and updated. Scores of homes are located on the Intracoastal Waterway while others are located on adjacent canals. Several condominium buildings on the outskirts of the community have made their appearance, but luxurious single-family private homes are in the majority.
IMPERIAL POINT
Imperial Point is within walking distance to the library and hospital. An elementary school, middle school and high school are all close by, as are several houses of worship, restaurants and privately owned retail stores. A shopping center is conveniently located just minutes away.
Private homes remain the backbone of a neighborhood that’s now bordered on all sides by condominiums. Several million-dollar mansions have been built in the area with more always planned. However, the majority of original single-family homes, now upgraded, are still in place and add to the community’s timeless appeal.
LAUDERDALE BY THE SEA
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea takes its name and location seriously. While other cities in greater Fort Lauderdale enjoy oceanfront location, this quaint town weaves tropical living into everyday life. Spanning a half-dozen city blocks and bordering Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, and the Village of Sea Ranch Lakes, the entirety of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea resides on the narrow, beachfront barrier island that is separated from mainland Broward County by the Intracoastal Waterway.
LAS OLAS
Many homes date back to the '30s. They have been updated, yet maintain their early character, according to Jeanne Glenn, with the Las Olas Isles Homeowner's Association. There is proximity to the beaches as well as wonderful Las Olas Boulevard's shopping area, the Broward Theatre of Performing Arts and the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art.
Although some multi-dwellings and low-rise condominiums line Las Olas Boulevard, the community maintains a single-family dwelling profile.
LAKE RIDGE
Like much of South Florida’s history, Lake Ridge’s lore is eclectic. The community had its beginnings in the ’50s when a portion of the area was a penal farm.
Times have changed. Most of the cement-block houses built in the ‘50s, are two- and three-bedroom/ one-bath residences. Since it’s less than one mile from the beach and downtown Fort Lauderdale, and near Interstate 95, the area became desirable for buyers, explained Rixon Rafter, with the Lake Ridge Civic Association.
OAKLAND PARK
Oakland Park is known as "The City on the Move," in ways outsiders might not realize. Astronaut Brent Jett graduated from Northeast High School here and flew on three space shuttle missions. No one knew sleepy Oakland Park, original home of Porky's, would become - or remain - such a desirable place to live.
POMPANO BEACH
Eclectic” describes this community. If you're looking for something a little bit faster-paced, spend the day at the world-famous Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park where live harness racing is offered multiple times a week.
For the avid sports fan, Pompano Beach is a mere drive away from the homes of the Miami Marlins, Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, and Florida Panthers.
Pompano is also located close to major shopping destinations and attractions like The Galleria Mall, the Sawgrass Mills Mall, even the Aventura Mall.
POINSETTIA HEIGHTS
Some of the mid 20th century built homes have streamlined architecture, some have Art Deco touches. Newer homes embrace the Georgian style, with hip roofs, porches and balconies.
Town homes have also become part of the landscape. All homeowners take pride in their front yard gardens. The neighborhood is continually active in improving entryways and surrounding areas into the neighborhood. It's a neighborhood where neighbors look out for each other.
TARPON RIVER
This is a community of change. "Many older homes built in the '40s and '50s which are in the majority - are being brought up to code,” said Reid Morgan, former President/Council of Civic Associations. The neighborhood-oriented area is transitioning from private homes to three-story duplexes. Homes have increased in value and with asking prices on the rise.
Gardens are common and kept in prime condition. Hundreds of flowering trees have recently been planted by the Beautification Committee.
