Holding to its history
The Highlands in Pompano Beach is a neighborhood that’s deep rooted in its history. While areas around this neighborhood have more modern housing, including luxury apartments, classic midcentury houses can still be found in Highlands. “This is still a working-class neighborhood,” says Bob Bellemare, a Realtor with RE/MAX Direct with nearly 20 years of experience selling in Pompano Beach. “People like it because there’s no homeowners association to deal with, and the prices are reasonable.”
Deerfield Beach, just minutes from Highlands, has it all.

Homes consistent in the same era
Construction in the area started in the 1950s and continued into the early 1960s. Some homes were advertised in magazines like Town & Country in the ‘50s to entice people to move to Florida to retire. Some of those homes are still standing, and some need a little bit of attention. The homes in this neighborhood list for between $300,000 and $500,000. “You may find a few under $300,000, but chances are it may need some work,” Bellemare says. Upgraded homes in the area have new landscaping, flooring, kitchens and baths. A more modern housing option is condos in the Lighthouse Village complex with two-bedroom units built in the late 1970s. The community also has a pool and outdoor tennis courts. The single-family homes are Minimal Traditional and ranch style. The price per square foot is a little over $300, and the size of the houses can be anywhere from 800 to 2,000 square feet.
