Oakland Park, Florida has come a long way since its incorporation in 1929. It's 31,000 plus residents enjoy a quality of life that combines cherished small town values with a vigorous new town spirit, and benefits of proximity to Fort Lauderdale Beach, Wilton Manors, and Downtown/Las Olas Boulevard. From a visitor perspective from outside Broward County, it is possible to be passing in and out of Oakland Park as one travels the streets and view homes in the adjoining City of Fort Lauderdale, as the two Cities are closely interwoven geographically.

Oakland Park offers wonderful parks, outstanding recreational opportunities, top-rated public and private schools, excellent medical facilities, world-class restaurants, and convenient shopping. Something very special is happening in Oakland Park. Residents and city leaders are working together to embrace a new vision, setting goals and standards to stimulate urban renewal through an ongoing revitalization program. The City of Oakland Park is well known for its aggressive position on redevelopment and the positive growth is staggering as new and even more beautiful improvements are made in the real estate, business districts, and most important to home buyers, in the range of available homes with different styles and price ranges.

Within Oakland Park, like most Cities, are numerous subdivisions or neighborhoods which characterize the diversity, while providing “pockets” of homes and properties with relatively consistent features, atmosphere, and of course location. Royal Palm Acres, for example is one area which is known for its elaborate waterways and canals, numerous parks, as well as affordability, while other areas such as Coral Heights have evolved into beautiful neighborhoods with tremendous character and consistency. North Andrews Gardens and North Andrews Terrace are known to be developing areas, fantastic for first time home-buyers and in some cases investors due to the relatively affordable prices, and rapidly increasing home values.
