Wilton Manors, known as "The Island City," is a two-square-mile community entirely encircled by the North and South Forks of the Middle River in northern Broward County, less than a mile from Fort Lauderdale. Daily life here centers on Wilton Drive, the main thoroughfare lined with restaurants, bars, shops, and galleries, all within easy walking distance of most apartment communities. Green space is woven throughout the city, and the streets are wide and well-maintained, making it easy to get around on foot or by bike.
The rental landscape includes a mix of low-rise condominiums, townhomes, and garden-style apartment communities, many of which reflect the city's distinctly Floridian character, midcentury ranch-style architecture alongside newer contemporary construction. Waterfront units are available for those who want a Middle River backdrop.
