Boulevard Heights is where the action is
About 20 miles north of downtown Miami is the suburb of Hollywood, and on the western fringes of the city, bordering with Pembroke Pines, is the neighborhood of Boulevard Heights. This established area is close to Florida’s Turnpike toll road and within a few minutes of the sprawling Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and guitar-shaped 36-story hotel. “It’s a great starter home or second home area,” says John Lucka, broker associate with RE/MAX Select Group with nearly 50 years of experience. “It’s an affordable area, and there’s high turnover because the people who have bought a starter home here have a growing family, and they have moved on.”
Some homes have been renovated
Homes in Boulevard Heights were built between the 1950s and ‘70s, and some have been given renovations because of their age. Some need a facelift. Most of the homes in this area are either sprawling ranch-style homes or what Lucka calls rectangular-shaped smaller ranch-style homes, with prices between $400,000 and $525,000, concrete block and stucco construction, and between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet of living space. Some of the homes have circular driveways. “With some of the older homes, it’s something that the homeowner has added later," Lucka says. "Another popular feature is converting a garage into an extra room. There’s no homeowners association here because the houses are older, and it gives the freedom to make renovations without restrictions.”
Community presence
The Boulevard Heights Community Center offers meeting rooms, an amphitheater and a playground. The center houses several senior wellness programs and hosts teen game nights, concerts in the park, and several fitness, dance, games, and craft classes. An amphitheater is behind the community center under an oak canopy. There is a large, grassy area for dancing to music acts but no seating. The Marti Huizenga Boys and Girls Club of Broward County is another community pillar, offering young people activities, programs and opportunities. The Generals Club Construction Program introduces teens to construction careers. The center provides services like SAT prep, career planning sessions, scholarship assistance, resume building and financial planning. The facility also includes a recreation room, cafeteria, basketball court and swimming pool.
Large school system
The sixth-largest school district in the nation, Broward County Public Schools, serves the Boulevard Heights community for those school-aged children whose parents opt for the public school system. Hollywood Park Elementary School is rated a B on Niche and has an intimate 12-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Apollo Middle School’s ratio is 21-to-1, with a B-minus overall grade. McArthur High School students can participate in the Service Learning Program, which provides an opportunity to volunteer at various nonprofit organizations. The school earns a B grade on Niche.
Half-pipes and swing sets
From the very young who like to play on swing sets to daring teenagers who crave a daredevil experience, the parks in Boulevard Heights provide something for everyone. Fletcher Park includes ball fields, batting cages, a pavilion and a playground. Montella Park provides grills for cooking, picnic tables, a walking path and a playground. The Hollywood West Skate Park is located behind the Boulevard Heights Community Center and was designed with the help of local skaters. It features a large skate area with a half-pipe, rails and steps. West Hollywood Park has various athletic fields next to the skate park.
Puerto Rican and other Caribbean food favorites
Casa Borinquen is a family owned and operated Puerto Rican restaurant on Taft Street. One of its specialties is the Jibarito slider, made of flattened fried green plantains instead of bread and house sauce with either pork or chicken. The Tripleta is a mix of steak, pork and ham. La Carreta serves "abuela-style” food, like Cuban grandmothers would make. They’re also known for authentic Cuban espresso. Grocery shopping is convenient at one of two Publix locations.
Plenty of opportunities to catch the bus
Broward County Transit bus lines have stops on major north/south routes like University Drive and 72nd Avenue and east/west thoroughfares like Johnson Street and Pines Boulevard. The light rail station for Tri-Rail at Hollywood is 5 miles to the east. The closest hospital is Memorial Hospital Pembroke. Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport is about 15 miles away.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
