Your day begins at 3652 NE 18TH Avenue, a 1,716 sq ft home built in 1957. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence includes a 1-car garage and no HOA. Step into your private courtyard, a peaceful outdoor retreat surrounded by lush tropical landscaping.
The convenience of your location becomes clear with easy access to many local destinations. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Beach is about a 4-minute drive away, while Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas are around 7 minutes by car. The Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station is also approximately a 7-minute drive, and Downtown Pompano Beach can be reached in about 8 minutes.
For dining, Las Olas Boulevard offers a vibrant restaurant row with sidewalk tables, steakhouses, sushi, and Italian options along a walkable mile. For a more casual meal, Anglin's Fishing Pier & beach village provides seafood and pizza steps from the sand, with easy parking on weekdays. If you're looking for an upscale experience, Casa D'Angelo Ristorante by Chef Angelo Elia is known for its handmade pasta and white truffle dishes.
Immerse yourself in local culture and art. The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale showcases modern and contemporary shows downtown, just a block from Las Olas, often quieter on weekday mornings. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts hosts touring Broadway shows, symphony performances, and comedy acts on the New River. You can opt for valet parking or park at the Riverwalk garage. Keep an eye out for the Las Olas Art Fair & seasonal street shows, outdoor juried art shows that enliven Las Olas Boulevard on several weekends between November and April.
Enjoy the outdoors at Fort Lauderdale Beach & the A1A promenade, offering two miles of lifeguarded sand, a wave wall, bike lanes, and hotel bars across the street. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park features 180 acres of hammock, a lagoon for kayaks, and a tunnel under A1A to the beach, providing shade on hot days. Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park offers a quiet beach and the Intracoastal on the other side, with kayak rentals, picnic pavilions, and fishing spots.
Weekends offer a variety of activities for all ages. Young At Art Museum provides make-and-play art studios, an indoor and air-conditioned option for creative exploration. For more active fun, Xtreme Action Park houses indoor go-karts, a roller rink, bowling, a ropes course, and an arcade under one roof. Local libraries offer free weekday story times for babies and toddlers, and most Broward and Palm Beach parks feature free splash pads, perfect for children.
