You wake to beachfront living in your unique two-story residence at The Criterion, situated directly on the sand in the heart of Pompano Beach. Built in 1982, this coastal home features 2,350 square feet of space across three bedrooms and three baths. Morning light pours into the expansive two-level layout, offering an immediate connection to the ocean right outside your door.
Your weekday rhythm unfolds with effortless connectivity. Pompano Beach is about a 3-minute drive away, while Downtown Pompano Beach is approximately a 4-minute commute. Driving to Downtown Deerfield Beach takes about 13 minutes, and Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas are around a 14-minute drive. Evenings bring vibrant options for winding down, whether you prefer toes-in-the-sand cocktails at Lucky Fish Beach Bar + Grill, oceanfront dining at Oceanic by the Pompano pier, casual water views at Briny Irish Pub, or gathering at The Wharf Fort Lauderdale, an open-air riverfront venue.
