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.”
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.
Large industrial buildings in the area
Toward Dixie Highway on the neighborhood's west side is an industrial area, including the distribution center for upscale furniture company RH, formerly Restoration Hardware. The facility is open 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Carrier Enterprises produces equipment for their air conditioner lines at the facility near Dixie Highway and 48th Street. The warehouses there employ thousands in the area.
Bus stops in almost every direction
Sample Road runs east-west, and Dixie and Federal Highways run north-south. All three major roads have multiples for the Broward County Transit bus line. The Pompano Beach stop on the Tri-Rail train line is about 3 miles away. The smaller Pompano Beach Airpark is about 4 miles south, and the larger Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport is 20 miles away.
A Brazilian reasons to eat out
Branca’s Restaurant serves Brazilian food buffet style at their location on Federal Highway. Their menu features lean meats that are hand cut and cooked on skewers. They also serve cocktails, salads and snacks. Rio’s Meat Market and Grocery specializes in Brazilian meats with an on-site butcher. There are a few aisles to pick up grocery items, while Publix is at the corner of Sample Road and Federal Highway for a more extensive selection. The 2000 Bakery is named after the year it opened and specializes in breads and cakes and custom catering.
Green space options
The variety of parks in the Highlands means that green space could be within walking distance. North Pompano Park is a 20-acre area in the heart of the neighborhood with a covered basketball court, sun-shielded jungle gyms, a disc golf course and sports fields. The Pompano Eagles, a youth football league, has its headquarters there. Another green oasis is Sandspur Park. There are two jungle gyms, a picnic shelter and a grassy lawn. The Highlands Natural Scrub Area is one of Broward County’s last substantial pine scrub communities. There are picnic and seating areas as well as miles of nature trails. Pine scrub is an endangered forest ecoregion found on inland sand ridges and can be identified by a plant community dominated by shrubs and dwarf oaks. Ice skating does exist in a tropical climate. The Rink on the Beach has plenty of space to contact blade with ice, and it can be rented for birthday parties.
Bound for Broward County schools
The public school option in the Highlands is Broward County Public Schools, including Norcrest Elementary, which is committed to helping children with special needs. The school has a special autism coach to assist students, teachers and families and is rated B-minus on Niche. Deerfield Beach Middle School is rated an overall C-plus on Niche, and Deerfield Beach High School is a magnet school for communications with an on-campus television studio and web design lab. It's rated B-minus by Niche.
