Highlands
Neighborhood in Pompano Beach, Florida
Broward County 33064
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.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.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.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 GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
