It isn’t for nothing that Fort Lauderdale is known as the Venice of America; considered
by many to be the crown jewel of Florida’s Broward County, Fort Lauderdale is like
Venice, a city built on water. Crisscrossed by the New River as well as numerous
canals and inlets, the city is a boater’s paradise set directly alongside of some
of the most breathtaking beaches in the country. Fort Lauderdale homes are always
in demand with anyone and everyone who enjoys south Florida’s lush tropical greenery,
perfect weather and unparalleled opportunities for sailing, swimming in the sun-warmed
ocean waters or just relaxing on the beach.
A Dynamic, Growing City With A Rich History
Fort Lauderdale is named for a stockade built in the 1830s, though it wouldn’t be
until after the First World War that it really began to take off, with returning
soldiers and other new arrivals drawn to the area by it’s ideal climate and growing
number of job opportunities. This growth still continues today, with the city being
one of south Florida’s centers of commerce, culture and of course, tourism. Many
older Fort Lauderdale homes still stand in the city, reminding visitors and residents
of the history of this vibrant modern city.
Florida’s Yachting Capital
While the city is one of several in the Sunshine State which lay claim to having
the best yachting in the region, it is undeniable that Fort Lauderdale is one of
the biggest centers for yachting in the nation and it’s easy to see why. With the
city’s seaside location along with the New River and extensive system of canals,
there are few places as ideally suited for boating anywhere else in the world. Many
sailing enthusiasts choose to settle down here, buying Fort Lauderdale homes in
order to enjoy easy access to all of these opportunities to enjoy the sport.
An Exclusive, One Of A Kind Home Away From Home
Fort Lauderdale may have once been known as the home of some of America’s most out
of control spring break partying, but a concerted effort by the city and concerned
residents have successfully managed to reduce the city’s appeal to college students
in search of fun in the sun over their Spring Break. It’s something for which all
of the residents and regular visitors to Fort Lauderdale are thankful for – and
it’s helped the city regain its atmosphere of fun and relaxation for a more mature
class of vacationer.
