I love living in Oakland Park! There are plenty of outdoor parks and walking paths. Downtown Oakland park has local breweries, restaurants, fitness centers, coffee shops, etc. Walking distance to Wilton Manors. Only ten minutes to downtown Fort Lauderdale, and 2 miles from the beach! It's already a great location with a lot great development plans for the future!
Oakland Park is a quick-thriving, friendly suburb of Fort Lauderdale that is home to a diverse range of inhabitants. From families to singles, Oakland Park is the happy medium between a fast-paced, yet cozy community! Between its excellent array of local businesses and great nightlife, Oakland Park is an amazing location to live as it suits all needs you may have. Oakland Park has three excellent public schools all within under a mile from one another, making it a large appeal to growing families. Don't have kids? No problem! Oakland Park offers excellent festivals and celebrations right in the heart of the city both during the day and night! 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!
