These festivities are surrounded by excellent businesses like Funky Buddha Brewery if you're feeling thirsty or Tatts and Tacos if you want a bite! It is no surprise that Oakland Park is rich in diversity as it attracts many from all over.
I enjoy living in Oakland Park Fl, one of the main reasons is because there are always new independent businesses popping up offering a unique neighborhood experience. Oakland also has really fun community garden that offers hydroponic farming!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the city of Oakland Park Florida! I am fortunate enough to live in an area that is close to everything, the beach, the airport, multiple grocery stores (Lucky's Market, Whole Food, Publix just to name a few) gas station on every end. I am surrounded by lots of amazing restaurants and bars as well! I love that it is pet-friendly and they also host many fun events for the people who live in the city of Oakland Park! It also fully supports the LGBTQ community which is incredible! Such a great family area, nice houses and wonderful, down to earth people!
