What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Fort Lauderdale

Everything is unique about my neighborhood are we actually have like a police station right across the street like Lidl grocery for where I live in a fire fire please let me a fire department please

My area is close to everything like shopping, restaurants, banks and even the beach. Very walkable to all

We are in a unique place being lrss than a mile to the ocean in one direction. In the other direction we are a thirty second walk to a very nice mall with restaurants.

The nature parks are unique Wilton Manors is filled with nice restaurants and coffee shops. I like to bike riding in the parks

How the neighbors all look after each other and are there for you. And we're close enough to get to the grocery stores and restaurants.

Shopping and dining are plentiful, restaurants are ok, parks are beautiful and traffic isn't too bad
