“Victoria Park is probably Fort Lauderdale’s most sought-after neighborhood,” says Keith Kennedy, a local Realtor. “There’s a lot of old tree growth that’s kept up beautifully. It’s an old-school Florida neighborhood that's practically right downtown — super walkable. My only thing is that many people cut through it to avoid the main streets since they’re always full. There is a lot of traffic that comes with the convenience.” While traffic is unavoidable in the heart of a city like Fort Lauderdale, pockets of peace are plentiful in this scenic community. The volunteer Victoria Park Civic Association helps maintain the neighborhood’s beloved green spaces and keeps the neighborly spirit alive with a calendar of events like block parties, kayak outings and the neighborhood’s annual Spring Festival.

Mediterranean Revivals and contemporary charm
Victoria Park came to be in the 1920s as an exclusive vacation spot named after the developer’s daughter. While the area remains somewhat exclusive, many of its two-bedroom cottages built for snowbird residents are long gone. Today, Victoria Park is, for the most part, a full-time neighborhood home to three-, four- and five-bedroom residences that display much more than quaint charm. The grand arches, stucco siding and barrel roof tiles of Mediterranean Revivals can be found throughout the community, alongside the clean lines of modern and contemporary styles — an interesting contrast with the area’s tropical flora. Midcentury ranch-style homes dapple palm-shaded streets as well. “You kind of have the whole range here,” says Kennedy. “You could get a condo for $250,000 and a house for $5 million. Honestly, that’s just South Florida.” One-bedroom condos can be found for less than $300,000, while townhouses climb upwards of $600,000. Single-family homes range from $1 million to $6 million. Driveways are standard; garages and carports are common.

Holiday Park
A walk along Annie Beck Park’s waterfront walkway is accompanied by palms swaying in the wind and watercraft passing by on the canal. It’s perfect for a picnic or just to get a breath a fresh air.
Holiday Park is a huge recreation hub spanning over 93 acres across Victoria Park’s north side. Local Little League practices and games are held across the park’s several baseball diamonds. Pup parents let their four-legged friends socialize at the dog park. The park is also home to pickleball and basketball courts, as well as the Jimmy Evert Tennis Center and Baptist Health Iceplex, so athletes of all types can practice their sport of choice.
Next door to Holiday Park, The Parker is a popular performing arts theater that has hosted Broadway musicals since 1967. It also has an itinerary of other events, including live music in genres such as gospel, jazz and symphony. Local ice hockey fans can watch the Panthers practice at their new home, the Baptist Health Iceplex, located within the Fort Lauderdale War Memorial, which is tucked into the west side of Holiday Park.

Shopping and dining along Federal Highway
Big-name grocery stores are close by on Federal Highway, including Fresh Market and Winn Dixie. Federal Highway is also studded by casual lunch and dinner spots like Foxy Brown, beloved for its comfort food items.
Of course, Fort Lauderdale’s signature strip, Las Olas Boulevard, is the main scene for shopping and dining. “Las Olas is right there with plenty of stuff along the waterway like restaurants and even a boat taxi system,” Kennedy says. “There are some great dive bars and outdoor places like these big tents with DJs playing music and food trucks. I’m from Ohio, so moving here was, well, wow. Always something going on. You’re living in a vacation destination, after all.”

Police are constantly driving around certain areas, however they only seem to patrol higher income areas. They should also be around lower income areas where crime is higher so they can maybe prevent the crime from happening. In most areas burglary is the most popular crime, including car break ins. However, I generally feel very safe in the area that I live in.

I think that the police and fire stations do a good job of being on time and where they are supposed to be. There are lots of cop cars constantly surveying neighborhoods and city areas. I think that our city officials so do a better job of caring and providing more for the lower income citizens and watching over the homeless.
