Your day begins in a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home at 1711 NE 18th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale. This 1,380 sq ft residence, built in 1951 in the desirable Poinsettia Heights neighborhood, offers a private oasis. Perhaps you start your morning with a quiet coffee beside the resort-style saltwater pool, enjoying the lush tropical landscaping and mature fruit trees in your expansive backyard.
The rhythm of a weekday is efficiently managed from this location. You are about a 4-minute drive from Fort Lauderdale Beach, and the vibrant Downtown Fort Lauderdale / Las Olas area is equally close. For longer trips, the Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station is also just about 4 minutes away, and Downtown Pompano Beach is accessible in approximately 11 minutes by car.
When dining out, a wealth of options awaits. Las Olas Boulevard offers a restaurant row with sidewalk tables, steakhouses, sushi, and Italian cuisine along a walkable mile. For a more casual experience, Anglin's Fishing Pier and its beach village provide seafood and pizza steps from the sand, with easy parking on weekdays. For an upscale evening, Casa D'Angelo Ristorante features Chef Angelo Elia's Tuscan fare, known for handmade pasta and white truffle dishes.
Your cultural calendar can be quite rich. The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale presents modern and contemporary shows downtown, just a block from Las Olas. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts hosts touring Broadway, symphony, and comedy performances on the New River. And several weekends between November and March, the Las Olas Art Fair and seasonal street shows transform Las Olas Boulevard with outdoor juried art.
For fresh air and recreation, Fort Lauderdale Beach and the A1A promenade offer two miles of lifeguarded sand. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park provides 180 acres of hammock, a lagoon for kayaking, and a tunnel under A1A to the beach, offering shade on hotter days. Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park features a quiet beach and the Intracoastal, with kayak rentals and picnic pavilions.
Weekends offer a blend of relaxation and activity. You might enjoy the outdoors at Colohatchee Park or take the family to Jungle Island Mini Golf & Fun Park. For indoor fun with children, the Young At Art Museum provides make-and-play art studios, while Xtreme Action Park offers go-karts, a roller rink, bowling, and an arcade.
