About North Lauderdale

North Lauderdale is a compact city in the center of Broward County, which is in the center of South Florida, an area that – at least economically speaking – is the center of the Americas. And because of this pivotal location, North Lauderdale is a community rich in diversity. Its 42,000 residents have come from all over the world to secure a place in the sun, stake a claim in South Florida’s vibrant economy and build a future for their children. And as you’ll read, that future looks promising indeed.North Lauderdale wasn’t always at the center of things. At its creation in 1963, it was a new frontier – literally and figuratively. At that time, it was largely farmland on the western edge of development in Broward County. Recognizing a rare opportunity to work with a blank slate, famed architect Morris Lapidus turned his attention to planning a city that would become North Lauderdale. Lapidus gained international notoriety for launching the 1950s “Miami Beach” style resort hotel. His design of the
Fontainebleau Resort, the Eden Roc and Americana helped create the style of Miami Beach.

Where We're Going

In recent years, Broward County has faced another development boom, but one that is quite different. While most growing areas in the country develop by sprawling outward, Broward County is building inward. The desire to move to Broward from Europe, the Caribbean, South America and the rest of the United States has never been greater. That demand has spurred Broward to rebuild itself to accommodate more and more people. And because of that, North Lauderdale, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale has seen one exciting project after another open its doors, making the city a more and more attractive place to live. The City may be a cozy five square miles, but its current growth spurt is just getting started.
