Located midway between Miami and Palm Beach, Pompano Beach enjoys its nickname, “The Heart of the Gold Coast”. What is not to love? Beach city. Tropical weather. Rejuvenation and redevelopment of city center. Cultural activities and festivals. Water sports and activities. Incredible food scene. And … affordable real estate!
Your Pompano Beach Real Estate Guide loves to point out that the location is primo – an ocean side, small-ish city (population of about 115,000 residents – which swells to around 150,000 residents when the part-timers arrive in the “high season”), within an hour of the seventh largest metropolitan area in the US (Miami metropolitan area has a population of about 6.2 million).
Food, Drink, and Things to Do!
One thing is for certain – take it from your Pompano Beach Real Estate Guide – friends and family will find you here! With sunshine and beach – get ready to entertain! Here are some top ideas:
Food and drink … yes, please! The Pompano Beach Real Estate Guide offers some favorites:
Pompano Beach offers a culturally diverse, economically sound, and beautiful place to live … no state income tax … all we need is you! Contact your Pompano Beach Real Estate Guide to get your house hunt started!
The redevelopment of Pompano Beach’s downtown to a seventy-acre walkable city hub is underway! The Pompano Beach Real Estate Guide appreciates the efforts of the city’s economic development working on integrating residential, commercial, cultural, and industry! A significant project, the Mayla Pompano, recently broke ground – this multi-family luxury property will be another economic boost to the city.
Manufacturing, marine, and tourism are key industries for Pompano Beach – and Amazon has set-up shop here with two distribution centers!
Hillsboro Inlet in Pompano Beach connects the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean. The inlet is guarded by the Hillsboro Lighthouse and marks the northern point of the Florida Reef – a 350-mile coral reef system!
The economy is bolstered by tourism and high season “part-timers” who live here to escape cold northern winter climates. All of this has moved the Miami-Pompano Beach area to number nine on the “most active real estate markets” list!
Three miles of white sandy beaches, seven hundred acres of parks, water activities (swimming, diving, surfing, paddle boarding, boating), fishing, golf … you get the idea! With flat topography, you will also enjoy trails for biking and walking/running – sans hills!
The beautiful landscaping along the palm tree-lined beachfront … well, there isn’t anything that can quite explain how gorgeous and relaxing this view is! A favorite park for your Pompano Beach Real Estate guide is Exchange Club Park, on the intracoastal waterway – quiet, calm, serene. Several parks are beachfront, check out every one of them, it will be difficult to come up with a favorite! Different facilities (grilling, playgrounds, trails, sports) are available for use at the various parks – put on some comfy shoes and get going!
Did someone mention golf? There are six golf courses in Pompano Beach and ninety-four within 20 miles! Get your calendar out and book some tee times!
For biking, walking, running, birding, and general nature-loving … check out the trails and paths on the AllTrails site.
Back to water activities for a moment – diving and fishing are big in this city! The direct access to the Atlantic offers excellent fishing options (the city is named after the pompano fish species!). And the 900-foot long fishing pier was rebuilt in 2000 – it’s beautiful! As for diving, with the coral reef and the moniker of “shipwreck capital of southern Florida”, it is no wonder folks love to dive here!
