Hollywood Real Estate

Southern Florida’s Hollywood is known as the "City of the Future", embracing as it does diverse cultural and racial backgrounds as well as a healthy, safe environment for residents and tourists alike. Hollywood real estate has been a sound investment ever since 1925 and is still going strong. This stable community with a population of some 150,000 continues to appreciate in value as capital improvements and new construction proceed, like a new $15 million Arts Park in the center of Young Circle and the re-pavement of the famed Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, a singular 30-foot wide cement promenade that stretches for a mile and a half along the shoreline.

When considering Hollywood real estate as your primary or vacation home or as an investment property, it’s good to know that the city (designated as the “Diamond of the Gold Coast” on its Fiftieth Anniversary) is conveniently situated between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, with Port Everglades partially within its limits and the Port of Miami a mere 20 miles away. Easy access to Interstates 95 and 75 and the Florida Turnpike makes Hollywood a popular driving destination and also means faster commuting (and quick weekend get-aways) while public transport by the Tri-County Commuter Rail and Holly Trolley is efficient and inexpensive.

The value of Hollywood real estate is positively impacted by this coastal city’s very distinct areas of interest. The famed Downtown Hollywood Art and Design District (which runs from 20th Avenue to Young Circle on Hollywood Boulevard and Harrison Street) combines quaint boutiques, sidewalk cafés, with avant-garde art galleries and art-deco furnishing retailers. Then there’s the Seminole Indian Reservation with its Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum at Okalee Village and enormous, state-of-the-art casino. The community’s commitment to West Lake Tract’s wildlife preservation is evident at the Anne Kolb Nature Center, where there are 1,500 acres of mangrove preserves and bird sanctuary.
