About Dania Beach, FL

About Dania Beach, FL

Broward County's first city

Dania Beach was once known as the tomato capital of the world? Broward County’s first city has grown from its agricultural roots to a bustling blend of coastal and urban spaces, filled with many attractions, shops and miles of sandy shores. Flor Rodriguez, Realtor with United Real Estate, says, “Dania Beach is very centrally located. Everything is close by with major highways nearby. The biggest draw is the beach, but you’re also 5-10 minutes from the airport and the casinos.”

Suburban pockets and high-rise condos

With all of the amenities throughout the city, the initial appeal for prospective residents is easy to see and reflects the growing population. Many newly built high-rise condominium buildings and apartment complexes have sprouted due to the increasing population, adding to the residential pockets with single-family homes. Rodriguez adds, “People love the friendly neighborhood feel… A lot of homes have great water views and canal access for people who own boats.” Houses range from cozy two-bedroom properties in the mid $200,000 range up to $1.2 million for luxury waterfront homes.

Traveling on I-95 and US Route 1

Proximity to Interstate 95 gives residents access to Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood. US Route 1 is also nearby, and various forms of public transportation, as well. Dania Beach is located just south of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, so some residents will get the occasional air traffic.
