Centrally located near Miami and Fort Lauderdale
Suburban life in Driftwood belies its centrally located spot on the map, with the Florida neighborhood sitting about half an hour away from major cities and attractions in each direction. With Fort Lauderdale to the north, Miami to the south, the sandy beaches of the coast to the east and the nationally-recognized wetlands of the Everglades to the west, residents of Driftwood retain their quiet residential atmosphere while staying close to what southern Florida has to offer. “I would say it’s definitely a growing area,” says Marta Yecora, a real estate broker and owner of Guardian Real Estate. “It’s becoming very popular among buyers from the Miami area because the lots are larger, there’s no association fees and people can get a really nice home very close to Hollywood Beach.”
Driftwood offers convenient access to shopping centers and everyday essentials.

Ranch homes with vibrant exteriors
Many of the homes sitting along the quiet streets and palm trees of Driftwood are ranch homes, almost exclusively single-level constructions primarily built in the 1950s and 1960s. A few are from the 1970s, and there’s the occasional newer home as well. Pools are often found on the properties, and fenced or gated yards are also popular; whether lining the front yard or, sometimes, just the backyard, that privacy is an added feature in the neighborhood. Find stone patios adorning the fronts of homes, and the colorful variety of exteriors make Driftwood’s topography vibrant and filled with character. Pricing rarely falls below $300,000, typically ranging between $450,000 and $550,000, and some larger homes, including those with Spanish-influenced styling, have sold for over $1 million.
Most Driftwood Acres homes are single-story ranch-style residences built in the mid-century.

Hollywood Hills High School, serving grades nine through 12, is just a few minutes to the east of the neighborhood, off of Stirling Road.

Outdoor opportunities await at a trio of parks
Over at the Driftwood Community Center, a quadrant of baseball fields awaits those wanting to take to the diamond. Complete with a concession stand and close to other complex amenities like a pool, shaded playground, lighted courts for basketball and tennis and a lit track facility, the community center is the area’s preeminent athletic outlet. The community center itself offers classes and programs, as well as opportunities to rent out the building. On the west side of Driftwood, Seminole Park offers a pair of picnic shelters and a playground, while closer to Sheridan Street on the south side Bicentennial Park features a lighted trail, play system and half-court for pickup basketball games.

Motorsports munches and hailed hoagies
Grab a bite of local fame by visiting Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogies, featured on one of celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s programs, or plan an outing at one of two notable bar and grills just to the north of Driftwood. The Cage Bar and Grill’s logo is stylized like NASCAR’s branding and takes some design cues with stock car hoods and bumpers mounted on its walls, while Cloud 9 Lounge offers its patrons a sports-bar atmosphere along with karaoke and DJ nights. Chains include CVS and Wawa for various needs, and the Hollywood Palms Shopping Center features a Publix and the Flippers Cinema, which showcases the latest releases from the west coast’s version of Hollywood.

Games, gaming and rocking out
To the east, just across the neighborhood boundary and Florida’s Turnpike, a pair of guitars stand back-to-back and rise 450 feet into the air. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood features three hotel structures, including the guitar-shaped centerpiece, and offers a casino, pools and restaurants for its visitors. “The Hollywood Strip and beach boardwalk is a great area to be at for entertainment,” Yecora says. “The Hard Rock offers a lot of restaurants and entertainment, and there’s also stadiums with concerts and football. As far as entertainment, there’s plenty to do.” Hard Rock Stadium is about 15 minutes south of Driftwood, where the NFL’s Miami Dolphins play their home games.

Drifting beyond Driftwood
Centrally located, Driftwood is within an hour or less to major cities and features of its area of Florida in each cardinal direction. Fort Lauderdale is about half an hour to the north, while Miami is just over half an hour to the south. Hollywood Beach is just under 30 minutes to the east, meaning Driftwood residents are never far from the coastline, and access to the Everglades is about an hour or more southwest via Ronald Reagan Turnpike. The Shark Valley Visitor Center is the primary entrance closest to Driftwood, one of the entrances to the 1.5 million acres of wetlands on the Florida peninsula. “Driftwood’s central location is very beneficial,” Yecora says. “You can be at the beach in 30 minutes and it’s very close to the Hard Rock and restaurants. It’s kind of like it’s in the middle of a small city between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.”
