Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale is one of the most popular places for Spring Break and college students on vacation, but there is so much more to the town than that. Those who own Fort Lauderdale real estate properties enjoy a city that is often referred to as the "Venice of America" because of its extensive canal system and unmistakable beauty. With more than 180,000 residents in this Broward County city, there is much to experience on a daily basis when living here.

Tourism is one of the most prominent contributors to the city's economy with at least 10 million visitors each year. People come from all around to this southern Florida town to participate in its tremendous yachting ports and marinas as well as other water-related activities. People come from surrounding inland cities to go boating, swimming or simply take advantage of the white pristine beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. Even though it's a large city, it still offers a break from the ultra busy town of Miami that's only 30 minutes away.

Young people that either own or live in Fort Lauderdale homes have access to a thriving nightlife in addition to the other features of the city. There are more than 120 nightclubs within the city limits itself, not to mention the hundreds of others that are in surrounding cities. Whether you enjoy dancing to the latest hip-hop song or your favorite country selection, Ft. Lauderdale residents always find what they are looking for in a bar without traveling far from home. Dining is never a problem here, either. Within the city and its suburbs, there are more than 4,000 restaurants. Unique family-owned restaurants and your favorite chains are abundant in the surrounding area.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida might be perfect for younger people with an active lifestyle, but the neighborhoods and residential communities offer peace and quiet to those who crave the less hectic lifestyle. Neighborhoods like the Lauder Del Mar, The Landings, Lauderdale Harbors and others provide the perfect getaway from the chaos of the city.
