Hammock-shaped neighborhood
As the New River flows by the Colee Hammock neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, there’s a bend in the river. If you look at the area around that bend from the air, it’s shaped like a hammock. Colee Hammock has luxury homes priced in the millions with many amenities in the neighborhood. “It’s the best neighborhood for walkability,” says Peter Barkin, a Realtor with Compass with over 25 years of experience. “It’s within walking distance of the unique restaurants and shops on Las Olas Boulevard, and most can walk to the banks of the New River.” There are a couple of stops to catch the water taxi on the river, including one at the end of 9th Avenue. The water taxi is open until 10 at night and is a popular spot for watching the sunset.
Established in 1916, Colee Hammock retains much of its Old Florida Charm.

A park where a lot is happening
People gather at Colee Hammock Park every December to watch the Winterfest Boat Parade, a Fort Lauderdale tradition. Even when that’s not happening, it’s a popular place. “It’s a small park, but a lot is happening,” Barkin says. “All year, it’s a gathering place for people, and there’s even been a few weddings. It’s a perfect place to relax and read a book, surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes.” There’s even a hammock at this park. For a closer look at the New River, there are also shops and restaurants along Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, a great place to look at the boats, both moving and parked.
