Buy a Home in Sunny Fort Lauderdale!

 

One of the most popular vacation spots in Florida is Fort Lauderdale. It attracts more than 10 million visitors annually, and is often a hub for spring breakers. The city itself is located just a half hour North of Miami, and is seated near the eastern coast of Florida. It has been nicknamed the “Venice of America,” because along with the extensive beaches it offers, Fort Lauderdale has an intricate and expansive canal system that weaves through the city. Many people buy vacation homes in Fort Lauderdale just to enjoy these waterways.

If you are considering buying a home in Fort Lauderdale, there is more to enjoy than just the water channels. Within the city, there are many entertainment venues and recreational opportunities. Las Olas Boulevard, which runs from the heart of downtown all the way out to the beach, is home to the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District. This area offers different performing arts centers, as well as museums, gardens, opera theaters, and much more. Fort Lauderdale has also recently gained popularity for its large gay community, and is a frequent vacation destination for gays and lesbians.

An advantage of buying Fort Lauderdale condos for sale downtown, or waterfront properties for sale, is that the price of a home in Fort Lauderdale is half of what is was in 2005, when the market was at its high point. By consulting a Fort Lauderdale real estate agent, you will be able to get a listing of Fort Lauderdale condos for sale throughout the city and on the water, as well free standing homes, and even apartments you can rent.

A real estate agent can take your wish list and search through a comprehensive real estate database to find a handful of homes that you can visit and choose from. These agents also know the area well and will be able to suggest the best areas to live in, as well as which properties will give you a profitable resale.

Once you buy your home, you can then begin to enjoy all the beaches, entertainment and sun that Fort Lauderdale has to offer.
