Neighborhoods are about location as well as lifestyle, but they are also about the people who live in them. These up-and-coming neighborhoods in Fort Lauderdale have either been neglected and are making a return to popularity, or they are newer areas that have been recently discovered. The neighborhoods listed below offer a variety of lifestyles that meet just about anyone’s needs:

Sailboat Bend

Decades ago, this neighborhood was riddled with crime and drugs, deterring homebuyers from purchasing here. However, times have changed, and Sailboat Bend is now the place people are flocking to. Located just west of downtown Fort Lauderdale, it is home to young professionals as well as families and residents who have lived there since it has become popular again. Not only does Sailboat Bend offer a diverse group of residents, it also offers plenty of food and shopping options as well as being directly near the beach.

South Middle River

North of downtown Fort Lauderdale, you’ll find one of the largest, highly diverse neighborhoods formerly known as Middle River Heights. This clean, safe, and affordable place to live is filling up with plenty of people from different backgrounds, something that the neighborhood association is striving for, making it a trendy spot to be. There’s plenty of retail, grocery stores, parks, restaurants and attractions since the neighborhood is so close to downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Flagler Village

Named one of Fort Lauderdale’s trendiest neighborhoods because of its growing interest and artistic flare, Flagler Village is quickly on the rise as one of Fort Lauderdale’s best up-and-coming neighborhoods. Located in the warehouse district and north of Las Olas Boulevard, Flagler Village is home to many new luxury rental buildings and several residential townhomes and condos. It also has The Brightline Train station located in the area, which travels to and from Miami, Orlando, and West Palm Beach.
