Fort Lauderdale is transforming its image from merely a spring break destination to a vibrant urban locale. The city combines the informality of Palm Beach and the liveliness of Miami, with a burgeoning luxury-resort scene still accessible price-wise. New districts such as Victoria Park and Flagler Village are emerging as cultural hubs, drawing a younger demographic. With a thriving culinary scene and plenty of public spaces, Fort Lauderdale represents a compelling balance of innovative developments and cherished local attractions, appealing to both locals and visitors alike.
The city is redefining itself as a place that lacks the formality of its neighbor to the north (Palm Beach), but has all the trappings of the vibrant metropolis to the south (Miami).
Fort Lauderdale lacks pomp and doesn't take itself too seriously: It's a place that still feels accessible thanks to an abundance of public beaches, a lack of gated communities, and a culinary scene that won't break the bank.
The must-see spots have spread to a number of new districts like Victoria Park, Historic Sistrunk, and Flagler Village's arts district-an area that could draw comparisons to plenty of other up-and-coming neighborhoods for its converted post-industrial warehouses.
The dining scene in Fort Lauderdale continues to level up, making it an exciting destination for 20- and 30-somethings looking for an edgier, more urbane South Florida.
