Street markings are not kept up. Public Works has too many employees for every day work and many just "waltz" through the day. Taxes are high for the services we get. The city commission does everything and more for the Beach area and practically nothing for the rest of the city. Policing is jobbed out to the county Sheriff's Dept. and little patrolling is done. After answering calls, most deputies sit and talk to other deputies, ride through the neighborhoods (windows up, air-conditioning on) unable to hear anything and so quickly they see little if anything. I have been here for over 35 years and nothing of any worth has changed. Good ol' boy politics as usual. Want a good hometown in Broward, I suggest Oakland Park, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Weston, Davie, Lighthouse Point, or Cooper City. Dania Beach seems to be getting it's act together, but I haven't been there in the last two years. Unless you have money and political influence, stay the heck out of Pompano Beach!
No matter where you live in Pompano, you'll always be close to the beach. Regarding safety, there are hardly enough sidewalks throughout the city on non-major roads. Particularly the neighborhoods. Also, there is almost always some type of emergency with ambulances and police cars speeding by almost regularly. Majority of the residents here seem to be African-american or Hispanic, although this changes once you go east of the railroad tracks. The train can occasionally cause a pile up when it occasionally stops on the tracks. Apartments here are really overpriced with rent going as high as $3,000 a month in some places. Overall, it's not too bad living here, but there is obviously room for improvement.
Pompano Beach weather is warm to hot year round. Pompano have a breeze off the ocean. Pompano has several very nice safe parks, several major fast food restaurants to nice sit down restaurants. There are several new apartment building being built. US 1 is about 1+ mile from the public beach. Near the new beach piers we have a new restaurant open Beach House Pompano and parking garage. Hotel, shopping, restaurants being built. In the art district near I-95 it is revamped with New housing, new restaurants and new shopping area. In the summer there is a farmer's market. This area is 2+ miles to the beach. A lot of people live here 6 months.
