For commuters, getting around south Florida is also convenient. Interstates 95 and 75 make access to nearby attractions and three international airports very easy indeed. If raising a family is on your mind as you look at homes in Fort Lauderdale, you'll be comfortable with the strong school system and various universities and professional schools in the immediate area. Its diverse population is solidly educated, 80 percent with a high school diploma, 30 percent with a college degree, and 11 percent with a graduate degree. So you know education is at priority here. The system here is much alike to others the only difference is that Fort Lauderdale offers a different take on it. As much on a professional stand point they have what the rest of South Florida has to offer.

It is also known that it is popularized after the 1960s spring break movie Where the Boys Are, is has been a common knowledge that Fort Lauderdale has been popular ever since among visitors of all ages. Kayaking, scuba diving and snorkeling, and a busy marine industry keep water lovers happy. Attractions include its 165 miles of navigable waterways, which earn it the nickname of the Venice of Florida, a botanical garden and aviary, Flamingo Gardens, and various museums of art and archeology.

I like to point out that Fort Lauderdale has been one of the finest real estate locations in the whole state. Median house value in 2000 was about $150,000. A realtor will have realistic market prices at his or her fingertips, but expect a range from about $150,000 on up to $500,000. Fort Lauderdale city's population of some 153,000 lives in--at the time of the U.S. census of 2000--approximately 68,500 residential dwellings, some 38,000 of these are owner occupied, and the remaining 30,500 renter occupied. The majority of Fort Lauderdale homes were built since the 1960s. Investing in Fort Lauderdale can always be a big plus on the state's overall progression.
