A tranquil enclave with convenient access to urban amenities

Strategic location with diverse transit options
Hillcrest East Building 22 benefits from a location that offers various transportation options, catering to different preferences and needs. While the area is primarily car-dependent, there are alternatives available for those who prefer not to drive.
Public transportation is accessible, though limited. The nearest bus stop, Washington S & Hillcrest D, is about a 10-minute walk from the building. This stop is served by the Tri-Rail County Line Rd route, providing a connection to the broader public transit network. For those willing to travel a bit further, the Pembroke R & SW 42 A bus stop, located about a mile and a half away, offers access to the Pembroke Rd Local route.
For longer-distance travel, the Hollywood Tri-Rail station is approximately 2 miles from the building, a short 5-minute drive. This station provides access to the Tri-County Commuter line, facilitating travel throughout the broader South Florida region.
The building's location offers convenient access to major roadways. Both Interstate 95 and Florida's Turnpike are easily accessible, providing quick routes to other parts of the metropolitan area. This proximity to major highways makes it easy for residents to reach various destinations across South Florida.
For air travel, residents have two options. Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport is the closest, about a 15-minute drive and 7 miles away. For a wider range of flight options, Miami International Airport is accessible within a 40-minute drive, approximately 24 miles from the building.
Recent additions of bike lanes in the area have improved cycling safety, offering an alternative mode of transportation for short trips. However, given the area's somewhat limited bikeability, this may be more suitable for recreational rides rather than daily commuting.
While the area's walkability is limited, the extensive on-site walking paths and nearby parks provide ample opportunities for leisurely strolls and exercise within the immediate vicinity of the building.
The building's parking facilities ensure that residents who prefer to drive have convenient access to their vehicles. This is particularly important given the car-dependent nature of the broader area, allowing residents easy mobility for shopping, entertainment, and other daily activities.
This mix of transportation options, combined with the building's location, provides residents with the flexibility to choose the most convenient mode of travel for their various needs, whether it's a quick trip to nearby amenities or longer journeys across the region.
