Fort Lauderdale
The Venice of America
Incorporated in 1911, Fort Lauderdale is the largest of Broward County's 31 municipalities and one of the ten largest cities in Florida, with roughly 186,000 residents across 36 square miles. Its network of inland waterways earned it the name Venice of America, and the water is still central to how the city lives and works.
What was once a purely tourism-driven economy now spans marine industries, manufacturing, finance, insurance, real estate, technology, aerospace, and film production. The Riverwalk anchors an arts and cultural district that includes the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and the Museum of Discovery and Science, while Las Olas Boulevard draws people for dining and shopping year round.
Housing here ranges as widely as the city does — waterfront estates, downtown high-rise condos, and established single-family neighborhoods all within a few miles of each other.
