Tucked into central Broward County, Lauderdale Lakes sits just minutes from Fort Lauderdale's coastline without the beach-town price tag. The city spans just four square miles, making it easy to get around whether you're heading to nearby shopping at Lakes Mall, teeing off at Woodlands Country Club, or catching a match at Lockhart Stadium. Fort Lauderdale's dining and nightlife scene is a short drive southeast, while the vast Everglades stretch out to the west — a backyard that few metro areas can match. Miami is less than an hour away, and the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale offers a regular dose of culture close to home.
Incorporated in 1961, Lauderdale Lakes carries decades of South Florida history within its compact footprint. Renters will find a solid mix of apartment communities, garden-style complexes, and townhomes that make it one of the more accessible options in Broward County. Studios through spacious multi-bedroom floor plans give renters plenty of choices, and the city's location — bordered by Tamarac, Lauderhill, and Oakland Park — puts everyday essentials within easy reach without the congestion of larger surrounding cities.
