Friendly neighbors in south Hollywood

If you move to Lawn Acres, you’re welcome. The neighborhood, tucked into the established communities of south Hollywood, offers attractive housing stock, easy access to retail and, most of all, a comfortable place to settle down. “I would say the biggest highlight is that it’s family-oriented,” says Vickie Skinner, a Realtor with Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Florida 1st. “At Christmas, a fire truck drives through the neighborhood, and former clients were Mr. and Mrs. Claus, before they moved. Neighbors get together all the time and have barbecues. If you’re looking for a friendly neighborhood and a family atmosphere, this is the place for you.”

Pride of ownership on display

Neighborhood housing is highlighted by midcentury homes built primarily in the late 1950s. Most offer carports or attached garages, and many feature appealing landscaping. “The houses are a little bit older, but with all the new families moving in, there are a lot of renovations,” says Skinner, who recently sold one of those renovated homes. “The neighborhood is in good condition, and residents take care of their lawns.” A unique network of sidewalks, built farther from the street than usual, offers walkability. Prices typically range from the low $400,000s to the low $600,000s. The neighborhood is far enough from the Atlantic coast that flooding is not a concern. However, homes are at high risk of wind damage, especially during hurricane season, and insurance rates are likely to reflect that.

New Walmart Supercenter highlights the neighborhood's many retail options

Residents have easy access to an array of retail and dining options. A Walmart Supercenter that opened in 2023 is conveniently located in the heart of the neighborhood near its concentration of homes. Shopping centers elsewhere in the neighborhood include retail stores such as Ross Dress for Less and Burlington Clothing Store and grocers such as Aldi. Eateries are plentiful and have a decidedly Latin flair. Juici Patties in the Walmart shopping center serves up Jamaican comfort food, while the highly rated Dominican favorites at Con Hambre Restaurant are among several options along the Hollywood Boulevard commercial corridor. Miramar Bakery in neighboring Beverly Park is a popular family-owned spot known for its Cuban pastries and breakfast sandwiches.

Zinkil Park is adjacent to the community

Residents don’t have to go far to stay active, as Zinkil Park is located adjacent to the neighborhood in Hollywood Hills. The green space is known for its lighted walking paths and features a pair of shaded playgrounds. Kay Gaither Community Center is located on the other side of the neighborhood in Beverly Park. The center offers indoor gathering spaces and outdoor amenities, including a lighted basketball court. An aftercare program and summer camps are provided by grants from the Children's Services Council. Residents can venture about 4 miles east to experience ArtsPark at Young Circle, a premier recreational and entertainment complex downtown anchored by an amphitheater. The city’s oceanfront, which is home to the iconic Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, is only 2 miles farther east.
