A landscape of single-family homes
Originally built in the years following WWII as homes for returning war veterans, Poinsettia Heights has evolved into a quiet, suburban neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, highly regarded for its proximity to shopping, good schools, and the beach. To maintain the area's suburban charm, organizations like the Poinsettia Heights Civic Association have helped pass laws that stop condos and townhouses from being built within the neighborhood, keeping them isolated to the area's borders. As a result, its residential zones are lined exclusively with single-family homes.
Poinsettia Heights homes embrace spacious front and backyards, and inviting outdoor living.

Dog walking at the Colohatchee Park
With the beach just over 3 miles away from anywhere in the neighborhood, residents frequently take quick trips to the coast to jog in the sand or ride the ocean waves. Anyone looking for a less crowded afternoon can visit George English Park, a 15-acre space with full basketball courts, tennis courts and boat access to the canals. Colohatchee Park is a mile west and features 7 acres of verdant mangrove preserve, a walking trail and a fenced-in dog park. "There are a lot of people who become friends based on walking their dogs together," says Alex Escobar, a broker associate with Re/Max who has served the area for 17 years. "The whole area is great for dog lovers."

Experience waterfront living in Poinsettia Heights with homes along scenic canals.
Midcentury Modern with original terrazzo floors
Most homes tend to be bungalows and ranch-style, though new construction is constant, often bringing more eclectic, modern designs to the neighborhood. "Midcentury Modern homes are really popular here," says Escobar. "You're sometimes able to find original terrazzo floors. They're classic, basically indestructible, and beautiful." Prices start in the low-$500,000s for ranch-style homes, with Spanish-inspired Midcentury Modern designs beginning in the low-$800,000s. Riverside homes can go as high as $1.3 million.
A renaissance on the beach
Fort Lauderdale is a popular destination for people nationwide, so regular events and festivals are easy to find. The annual Tortuga Music Festival is heavily involved in the community, teaching visitors about conservation while sponsoring live performances by artists like Lainey Wilson, Jason Aldean and Bret Michaels. Those brave enough to combine Florida weather with pantaloons can visit the Florida Renaissance Festival, celebrated 15 miles north in the spring.
