Fort Lauderdale is the city you never want to leave! From the rich, natural beauty of our world-famous beach, waterways, and cultural offerings, to the array of entertainment and educational opportunities,

 Fort Lauderdale offers an outstanding quality of life.

Our 165-miles of scenic inland waterways wind through the city, highlighting what makes Fort Lauderdale unique and why it truly lives up to its designation as the "Venice of America."

Our semi-tropical climate is highlighted by more than 3,000 hours of sunshine each year and pleasant year-round ocean breezes. The picturesque Riverwalk serves as the cornerstone of the City's arts, science, cultural and historic district which features the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Museum of Discovery and Science, Museum of Art and Old Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum. Las Olas Boulevard has gained international acclaim as Fort Lauderdale's centerpiece of fashion, fine dining and entertainment. In addition, the City's downtown area is home to Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, the award-winning Broward County Main Library, federal, county and school district offices.

Known as "The City on the Move," astronaut Brent Jett graduated from Northeast High School located in Oakland Park, FL. This famous alumnus has been on three space shuttle missions. No one knew sleepy Oakland Park, original home of Porky's, would become such a desirable place to live.

Drive through this neighborhood and enjoy some of Florida's best tropical landscape designs by award winning landscape designer, Luis Llenza.

Oakland Park neighborhoods include transplants from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, and more lately, an influx of folks from New York.

What attracted transplants to this part of town include its schools, proximity to shopping and houses of worship, and Oakland Park's Tennis Center and Fitness Court. The convenience of having six state-of-the-art clay courts is a lure that attracts many residents. The courts are well maintained and attract talented players. Enough time to play a match is allotted to players who include tennis in their daily or weekly schedule.

Not to be overlooked is the Richard E. Guisti Heart Par Course, which is a park with a fitness trail tucked into a grove of slash pine trees. The fitness trail is one-mile with 20 fitness stations. Fitness enthusiasts can be found using the trail every day from early morning to late at night.

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.
