Get to know Lauderhill

Lauderhill straddles the Florida Turnpike to the northwest of Fort Lauderdale and carves a diagonal path across the metropolitan region. Though Lauderhill is an urban area, parks and gardens breathe a little freshness into it. The Inverrary Country Club has hosted many professional golf tournaments — including one formerly presented by famed actor and comedian Jackie Gleason, who had a home on the club’s grounds. Going against what you may expect from a southern Florida city, Lauderhill boasts the only cricket stadium in the United States certified by the International Cricket Council. Homes are a mix of single-family, multi-family, and townhouse abodes. Like Montauk on Long Island’s East End, a portion of Lauderhill features prefabricated Leisuramas, residences designed to represent the archetypal American home. While many take advantage of the turnpike’s proximity to commute — for work and play — there is plentiful everyday shopping and fantastic dining nearby.

Living in Broward County

Florida’s second-largest county by population, Broward fills the gap between Miami and Palm Beach. Its developed portion leans almost entirely suburban, with the remaining majority of its land mass within the Everglades. The county’s namesake, Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, spent much of his gubernatorial term lobbying to reclaim the region’s wetlands for agriculture and development, finding a key ally in Teddy Roosevelt. The resulting land boom transformed Fort Lauderdale, the country seat, into a bustling resort town — a ring of suburbs incorporated soon thereafter. Today’s Broward boasts the obligatory beaches, vibrant shopping districts, and a litany of cultural attractions, along with the weather to enjoy them year-round. While it’s considered part of the greater Miami metro, the area boasts a diverse economy all its own. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has some 700 daily flights, and Port Everglades is one of the country’s busiest. Tri-Rail and Brightline offer commuters an alternative to the highway, linking population centers from Miami to Palm Beach.
