North Central Hollywood
Ranch homes and waterfront condos
Homes looking across the canal are primarily three- to four-bedroom ranch-style with modern finishes or terracotta roof tiles. The palm-fringed yards are small but well-maintained with xeriscaped gardens. On the back end, private docks for small boats and kayaks give locals prime access to the water. Waterfront condos with amenities like exercise rooms and saunas provide another option for buyers. “As you move further inland away from the canals, there’s also been a boom in new construction because people want to be near all the action,” adds Hazen. The homes developed away from the water also provide more yard space for entertaining guests or adding features like in-ground pools. Prices here run the gamut, starting at $220,000 for condos and climbing to $850,000 for renovated or canal-front properties.

Daily provisions and longstanding local haunts
A short drive through North Central Hollywood reveals several longtime generation-owned businesses and restaurants. Runas Peruvian Cuisine draws residents and tourists to its historic location in the Old City Hall Building. Highlights include extensive ceviche offerings and tamales. Others come hoping to run into the spirit of mobster Al Capone, who is known to frequent the building. The Hollywood Donut Factory is another local go-to. Residents can enjoy more than 50 flavors of doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches and coffee while catching up on neighborhood news and watching the morning traffic along Hollywood Boulevard snake by. The roadway also leads to Hollywood Beach’s Broadwalk, lined with casual bars and seafood spots. Used car dealers, discount stores and secondhand shops flank North Dixie Highway along the neighborhood’s eastern end. Locals can head to the Publix at West Lake Commons, less than 2 miles away, for groceries.

Easy access to I-95
Accessibility is a major draw for buyers to North Central because of its location between Interstate 95 and Dixie Highway. Dixie Highway allows residents to reach Hollywood Beach and the heart of downtown Hollywood, full of art galleries and diverse local restaurants and shops. Locals can take I-95 to reach amenities like the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, roughly 6.5 miles north. The freeway also links to Fort Lauderdale, less than 8 miles away. Downtown Miami is within 20 miles of the neighborhood.
