Life on the water is a part of the culture in the South Florida suburb of Lighthouse Point. This community of about 10,000, located 15 miles north of Fort Lauderdale, stretches along the shores of the Intracoastal Waterway and offers an easygoing lifestyle close to local shopping, dining and schools. “With the number of canals, there are many avid boaters here,” says native Christine Balistreri Van Buskirk, a Realtor with Balistreri Real Estate. “It’s a hidden gem, and I think it’s the best place to live in the country… People grow up here and then raise their families here. They never leave.”
