For a young adult like me, Fort Lauderdale has a lot to offer. Regardless of your profession, there is almost always a job right for you! Depending on the area you live in, living expenses can be quite extensive. The perks of living in this marvelous city definitely outweigh the cons. So many areas, such as Flagler Village, are up and coming (especially for those in my age range). New restaurants, roof top bars, fitness center, and many more high in demand places are being built ALL THE TIME here in Fort Lauderdale. It is any young persons dream, especially when you are trying to become who you are supposed to be.
Ft. Lauderdale is a great place if you like being close to the ocean and city. The downtown area has a fantastic main library, art museum and science museum! FAT Village is quickly rising in the South Florida art scene and between downtown and the beach is Las Olas, home to delicious restaurants, boutiques, and galleries. The beach in Ft. Lauderdale is safe and clean and unlike many tourist beaches you have a clear view of the water as you drive down A1A. All this is surrounded by family-friendly neighborhoods with classic Florida bungalows and split-levels on large lots (usually backed by a canal - they don't call Ft. Lauderdale the Venice of America for nothing!).
All this is within 30 minutes of Miami and the Florida Everglades, and a car trip away from Disney World and many other attractions!

Fort Lauderdale, Florida is known for our beaches. Fort Lauderdale beach is fun, clean, and have many activities the families can attend. On the Fourth of July, Fort Lauderdale beach have a Firework show that light up the sky! Over a thousand of fireworks are put in place for the show. Oh yeah, don’t forget food vendors come out also and sell their delicious cuisine.
Ok steering to a different topic of Fort Lauderdale, living in the area. I’ve been living in Fort Lauderdale all my life. I can truly say living here is awesome. Most people here are friendly and have great personality. Also, There are many things you can do here . For our youths there are Xtremes, Off the Wall, Kabooms, Funderdome, and so much more. For Adults there are clubs, spas, gyms, restaurants, indoor sky diving, and etc. Another thing, the homes are roomy and great, but sort of expensive though. Other than that Fort Lauderdale is great place to live.
