Top 5 Things To Do in North Lauderdale

(1)

Taste succulent dishes from cultures across the globe-- all within North Lauderdale's five square miles!

Take your tastebuds to the Caribbean, Europe – or both! 

North Lauderdale's diverse community reflects on its dining scene, with food options ranging from Latin American to Asian to Mediterranean, to even as far as the Caribbeans! 

You know what they say-- you can't judge a book by its cover! In this case, North Lauderdale's tiny size doesn't say much about your food options. 

So let this community surprise you with tons of choices!

Are you craving something more than what's available in town? You're in luck! 

Other larger Broward County communities are just close by, so all you need to do is go on a quick drive, and you're at your next fave food spot!

A heads up for all new North Lauderdale visitors-- the town may have a few choices for your shopping needs, but it's not a lot, especially if you compare it with nearby cities.

Nonetheless, for a quaint residential, you'll find plazas and shopping centers where you can get your errands done, like Shoppes at Western Woods, Arena Shoppes, and Cypress Lakes Town Center, to name a few. 

These small shopping malls offer an array of shopping finds, grocery needs, and personal services like banks, etc.

Not bad for less than five square miles of space!

Unlike most of the communities around North Lauderdale, the town doesn't get an influx of tourists regularly. 

In fact, if not for its famous annual events, North Lauderdale may not even get one at all!

Of course, that said, it only means that tourists looking for a breather from crowds and the busy city life will LOVE the peaceful streets of North Lauderdale. 

Not to mention the town is nearby major tourist attractions from other cities, so it's the best mid-point location to explore the best of what South Florida can offer!

Peaceful suburban + great proximity to South Florida tourist attractions = a perfect destination for relaxation within the city! 

The ideal formula for fun in the heart of Broward County!
