Fort Lauderdale
Called the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale is filled with beautiful waterways that wind through million dollar estates. Part of the charm of this city is its mixture of older and more modern architecture. For new residents, single-family and multi-family housing, condominiums, and apartments are available.
About five million guests venture to this area yearly, many flying into the local airport. Fort Lauderdale has been a hot spot for students during Spring Break in the past. However, people of all ages come all year long. Retirees enjoy the fun, warm atmosphere here. The big draw to the area is the sunny, sandy beach. Numerous shops, restaurants, and clubs are steps away from the shoreline. Outdoor cafes right on the beach are typical. Surfing, jet skiing, swimming, snorkeling, SCUBA, and more are all popular activities. Many beach bums sunbathe on one of the most popular beaches in South Florida. Fashion is important even on the beach.
The sun, surf, and entertainment make this area a hot-spot day and night. The young come out at night and frequent the many clubs and bars in this region and on Las Olas Boulevard and Riverwalk. Las Olas offers charming antique shops, boutiques, nationally renowned men's stores, funky bookstores, eateries, and clubs. This area also includes the Performing Arts Center and the Museum of Discovery and Science. Riverwalk offers a great concept in shopping and dining. Guests can stroll along the waterway, grab something to eat and drink, dance till they drop, or just relax on the beach. If all this is not enough, residents can head to the elegant Galleria Mall, which features such anchor stores as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Lord and Taylor, and Burdines.
Culture lovers can attend a theatrical show, find a good book at the Fort Lauderdale library, browse through the Museum of Art, listen to live entertainment near the beach, and more. Annually, Fort Lauderdale hosts a film festival that has begun to draw national attention. It has had the honor of being the longest running festival around, running over 28 days. Here guests can watch the newest indie films and attend workshops and discussions about film.
Nature lovers can visit one of the approximately 60 parks available. Many of the parks, such as the Birch State Park, offer canoeing, picnicking areas, hiking trails, and more. The warm temperatures make it easy to exercise outdoors. Residents can play tennis and many other sports. Golf lovers will find over 50 courses available. Many public pools are ready for visitors.
After a day of excitement, families have an endless array of places to eat dinner. In Fort Lauderdale, they can choose from an international selection. Many five star nationally known eateries neighbor funky cafes on the waterfront. Residents can drive to nearby Port Everglades to hop on a cruise ship filled with adventure and even more luscious delicacies. The food, entertainment, beaches, and style of Fort Lauderdale make it a wonderful place to live and play.
