Area Information

Fort Lauderdale is a large city located in the center of Broward County, Florida, north of Miami-Dade County and south of Palm Beach County. Fort Lauderdale offers year-around sunshine, miles of public beach, great dining and shopping, plus waterways filled with paddle boarders, kayakers and boaters.

The Fort Lauderdale lifestyle is oriented around the outdoors and the sun. Going to a beach and relaxing by a pool are year-round activities. Festivals, restaurants, shopping and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts are all found downtown. Nearby, a landscaped pedestrian Riverwalk extends along New River, connecting to Las Olas Boulevard, a tree-lined street full of outdoor cafes and shops.

Commuting from Fort Lauderdale to jobs in Miami to the south, or in Boca Raton to the north, is easy. While the Tri-Rail commuter rail line offers service to both cities, many residents prefer to drive. Commutes average 30 minutes in the region, with key corridors being I-95 and Florida's Turnpike. A great convenience to residents is the proximity of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which is no more than 30 minutes away from any point in the city.
