Avalon Harbor
Suburban Neighborhood in Pompano Beach, Florida
Broward County 33062
Lounging on the beach or walking around Harbor’s Edge
Once a sleepy seaside town, the city's Community Redevelopment Agency has undertaken various projects across the city to turn Pompano Beach into a mecca for the arts, business and entertainment. Take the new development on the beach, for example, the Pompano Beach Fisher Family Pier. This hub is the epicenter of the rising seaside destination, the Fishing Village. Folks hang out with friends and family, cast lines or enjoy the South Florida sun. “Residents mainly visit the beach, but it gets busy in the summer, too,” Lily says.Harbor’s Edge Park welcomes dog walkers and joggers to use the paved path that starts at the parking lot and winds out toward the sandy patch. Golfers cross the highway to play a round at Pompano Beach Municipal Golf Course, and some visit the Pompano Community Park to watch the planes leave the Pompano Beach Airpark.
Florida ranch homes or million-dollar waterfront houses
Avalon Harbor features a range of home styles and condos. Future residents can find townhouses as well as low and mid-rise condos. That said, most residents settle into single-family ranch homes. Most houses in the area were built in the 1950s, but as older houses are remodeled or razed and new construction enters the frame, the neighborhood aesthetic shifts. An updated two-bedroom condo can sell for $250,000 to $450,000. Alternatively, a remodeled, waterfront ranch-style home can hit the market for $2 million to $5 million. Limited areas have paved sidewalks, so residents rely on their cars to drive across northeast 14th street to visit Pompano Beach or U.S. Route 1 to visit the Beachway Shopping Plaza. As with most coastal Florida communities, hurricanes and flooding are a risk here, and many lenders require flood insurance.Ocean views at Beach House or Italian delights
New restaurants and eateries like Beach House line Pompano Beach’s sandy shore. Visitors hang out in the open-air bar and grill with tiki décor to try modern spins on surf and turf classics. “I really like Sicilian Oven, and they’re always busy,” Lily says. The restaurant sits north of the neighborhood on U.S. Route 1. Zuccarelli East also offers an Italian menu on the west side of Avalon Harbor. Lily also says restaurants along the beach have higher prices than those inland. Residents can shop at the nearby Aldi or drive to the Publix on Harbor Drive to pick up groceries.Driving down Route 1 or Northeast 14th
The neighborhood sits 13 miles south of Boca Raton and 13 miles north of Fort Lauderdale, but Route 1 gives residents a direct path to visit these popular spots. Broward County buses run along Northeast 14th Street and Route 1 for those who need public transportation. The Pompano Beach Airpark deals with private charters and pilots in training, so locals travel to Fort Lauderdale to fly out of Florida.Highway and air traffic
In addition to being a growing area with lots of traffic, the area gets noisy with the Pompano Beach Airpark seeing planes fly in and out. Those who can accept the noise overhead to be closer to the sound of crashing waves might consider Avalon Harbor.Pompano Beach High School stays highly rated
Those with young children send them to Pompano Beach Elementary, which gets a C-plus from Niche, and later Pompano Beach Middle School, which gets a B-minus. Teens later graduate from the highly rated Pompano Beach High School. Niche gives Pompano Beach High an A-plus, and the school ranked in the top 2.5% of schools by the U.S. News & World Report’s Best High Schools in 2023.
