Welcome to the lovely city of Fort Lauderdale, known across the country as “the Venice of America.” If you dream of living in a lovely city with year-round subtropical weather, with easy access to some of Florida's most beautiful beaches and flourishing commercial centers, where the people lead both active and laidback lifestyles, then consider settling down in one of the neighborhoods in the greater Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area.

Fort Lauderdale itself is a good place to start. With its intricate network of canals and its beaches,its history as both Indian ancestral ground and military fort, and its reputation as a strong tourist center, downtown Fort Lauderdale is one of the most exciting places to live in. The real estate options in the downtown area are also more diverse, ranging from vacation homes to family residences to townhouses and rental units.

Some of the older Fort Lauderdale areas are also worth looking into. Both the tree-lined neighborhood of Rio Vista and the neighborhood hugging the Colee Hammock park boast of history, as reflected in their 1930s style luxury homes and townhouses. The neighborhood of Las Olas, bridging the beach to the rest of Fort Lauderdale, also houses some of the finest luxury homes in the metropolitan area. Other areas to consider include the residential areas of Coral Ridge, Victoria Park, as well as the island city of Wilton Manors, with its reputation as a sustainable urban village.
