The intriguingly named area of Colee Hammock is located east of downtown Fort Lauderdale . Colee Hammock is the name of both a beautiful and historical park, as well as the elegant residential area surrounding the park. The area where the park now stands was supposedly the site of the Colee family massacre in 1836, by angry Seminole Indians who wanted their ancestral land back. The charming little Colee Hammock park has been around since 1934, and is filled with ancient oak, palm and banyan trees. Located across the New River , the park itself is a popular place for families, students, and lunching young professionals.

Colee Hammock was one of the first residential areas to develop in the area in the 1920s, when an era of prosperity changed Fort Lauderdale from an agricultural community to a resort town. Some of the houses that still stand in the Colee Hammock section of Fort Lauderdale reflect 1930s architecture and an old-world vibe. Some of these luxury houses and manors are being resold, and some new luxury homes have been built in the properties where the old houses stood. Like the real estate in its nearby areas or Rio Vista and Las Olas, Colee Hammock homes are elegant, luxurious and slightly more expensive than those in other Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods.
