Fort Lauderdale

Overview

Fort Lauderdale is the county seat of Broward County and one of South Florida's principal coastal cities. Often called the "Venice of America" for its extensive inland canal system, it blends a working downtown, a major yachting scene, and a well-known beachfront.

Lifestyle

Las Olas Boulevard anchors the city's dining and gallery scene, connecting downtown to the beach, while the Riverwalk and the New River give the center a waterfront character. Boating, the international boat show, and easy access to the Intracoastal and Port Everglades define the city's maritime identity.

Housing

Housing ranges from high-rise condominiums along the beach and downtown to waterfront single-family homes in canal neighborhoods such as Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, and Harbor Beach. Inland areas offer a broad mix of mid-century houses, townhomes, and newer developments.
