Oakland Park is getting ready to celebrate
Oakland Park is a city on the move, preparing for its 2029 Centennial Celebration. The community was named for its abundance of oak trees, and while it has grown into a small but dense city of roughly 44,000, the trees remain on every street. Meanwhile, officials have worked hard to keep development happening here, especially downtown. Since trendsetter Funky Buddha Brewery opened its doors in 2013, many new and quirky local businesses have followed suit, from alternative gyms to themed bars. The arts scene is also growing through seasonal art walks and an increasing number of galleries and studios. Thanks to Holy Cross Health, healthcare is still the city’s top industry, but construction, accommodation and food services are close behind.
Oakland Park has several decorative gateways welcoming residents and visitors.
Downtown Oakland Park has a variety of local cafes, restaurants, and art galleries.

A line between the older and newer parts of Oakland Park
There’s a mix of old and new when it comes to housing, with one of the main north-south roads providing a dividing line between the city’s past and future. West of Dixie Highway, the homes are more likely to be one-story ranch-style and bungalows from the ‘60s and the ‘70s. Costs for those tend to run between $400,000 and $600,000. “Some of those older homes are being remodeled from the ground up,” says local Daniel Ares, a Realtor with ReAlpha Realty. Newer homes tend to be east of Dixie Highway. “There’s a new townhouse development where the units are two to three stories selling for $700,000. With the newer homes, they’ll be on smaller lots of land, but you get more living space.” In the older part of the city, many streets don’t have sidewalks, and the homes can be up to 1,500 square feet. The new construction of townhomes has units up to 2,000 square feet.
Oakland Park has many modest bungalow style homes with nicely appointed gardens.

Funky Buddha and Downtown Oakland Park
Downtown Oakland Park, concentrated around Northeast 12th Avenue, has found a home in the hearts of many beer enthusiasts thanks to Funky Buddha and a handful of local spirits businesses that opened after. Funky Buddha boasts South Florida’s largest tap room and is renowned for its unique brews, like their award-winning Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. Oakland Park’s restaurant and bar scene has steadily grown, too, offering various cuisines, from classic American diners to authentic Haitian fare. For day-to-day errands, convenient chain stores are along Oakland Park Boulevard, Dixie Highway and U.S. Route 1.
Cyth & Co cafe is located in Downtown Oakland Park and offers indoor and outdoor seating.

Oakland Park is revitalizing green spaces
Parks are another primary focus of Oakland Park’s redevelopment, says local Daniel Ares, a Realtor with ReAlpha Realty. “They’re making the parks easier and safer to access by walking… They’re bringing in more walking paths and lighting.” As a whole, Oakland Park is working on increasing its walkability and developing an interconnected park system. The city has many small neighborhood parks, typically featuring a playground and basketball court, and larger community spaces like Jaco Pastorius Park, which hosts signature annual events like Oktoberfest and Latin Fest. The park also has a community garden called the Urban Farming Institute, which doubles as an agricultural learning center. As for sports, soccer fans can watch Inter Miami’s home games less than a mile away at Chase Stadium.

Plans for a Tri-Rail station
Broward County Transit operates buses throughout the city. Multiple stops are along major roadways like Oakland Park Boulevard. The Brightline and the Tri-Rail run through the city. Oakland Park’s redevelopment includes plans to build a train station. “It’s still a few years away, but exciting,” Ares says. For the time being, stations are about 5 miles away in North Lauderdale and Fort Lauderdale. Interstate 95 bisects the city and is a direct route to the Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale International Airport, less than 15 miles south.
Broward County Sheriff’s Office
Oakland Park contracts the Broward Sheriff's Office for police services. The department reports that overall crime in the city continues to decline yearly.
