Why Live in River Run
River Run, situated on the west side of Fort Lauderdale, offers a suburban lifestyle with easy access to I-95 and Davie Boulevard. Known for its old Florida charm, the neighborhood features 1950s ranch-style homes, towering palms, and tree-lined streets. Part of the larger Riverland area, River Run is characterized by canal access and lush, wooded surroundings. Inland homes range from $400,000 to $500,000, while waterfront properties along the finger canals can reach up to $2 million, appealing to boaters with ocean access and scenic views.
The neighborhood is served by Broward County Public Schools, including Riverland Elementary, New River Middle School, and Stranahan High School, all within a 5-mile radius. Local amenities include the Ideal Food Basket grocery store, PURO Ice Cream Factory, and the Riverland Branch Library. For outdoor activities, residents can enjoy Riverland Preserve and Ann Herman Park.
River Run's canals connect to the New River, providing a route to the Atlantic Ocean and proximity to marinas and the Secret Woods Nature Center. Properties near the water are in FEMA flood zone AE, with subsidized flood insurance available. Located 4 miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale, the neighborhood offers a bus lane on Davie Boulevard for city access every 30 minutes. The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is 3 miles away, and a tri-rail station is a mile north, contributing to some ambient city noise.
