Click here for more information about the Fort Lauderdale real estate market: Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market Snapshot Fort Lauderdale is located in east-central Broward County, Florida 25 miles north of Miami, 40 miles south of Palm Beach. Fort Lauderdale is the seventh largest city in Florida and the largest municipality in Broward County. The city’s inland waterways have earned it the nickname of its sister city, the Venice of America, and the city also is home to Port Everglades, a top ten U. S. port and major destination for ocean cruise travelers. The city takes its name from Major William Lauderdale,a Tennessee Volunteers officer the Second Seminole War. Three fortifications were built and named after the major, but none survive today. Fort Lauderdale is an attractive and growing city with a bustling downtown financial center, cultural attractions, and a spectacular world-famous beach. That's why it is a winter destination for American northeasterners and Canadians, many of whom own winter homes and townhouses here or dock their boats on the scenic New River. Over the past 30 years, Fort Lauderdale diversified from a tourism driven economy to a broader economic base that includes manufacturing, finance, insurance, marine and aircraft products and services, real estate, technology, medicine, film and television production, and professional baseball -- the Baltimore Orioles train here each winter. Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant nonprofit economy enriches the city’s cultural and educational life, led by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Museum of Discovery and Science, Museum of Art, Broward Community College, Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University – and, did we mention: the world-famous Fort Lauderdale Beach.
