Hollywood Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Florida
A rather new city by South Florida standards, Hollywood was incorporated in 1925. Hollywood was the product of the South Florida Boom times of the 1920's, originally named for the city founder, Joseph Young. Young imagined Hollywood as a "Dream City in Florida." Young also planned for a wide boulevard (which is now Hollywood Blvd.) to extend from the Atlantic Ocean westward to the edge of the Everglades.
In South Florida it seems as though all roads lead to the beach, and in Hollywood it is no exception. A perfect example of this is our Hollywood Blvd. Upon departing the historic downtown arts district, it is recommended you take a trip across the Hollywood Boulevard Bridge to Ocean Drive. On the North and South of Hollywood Boulevard you will come upon Northlake and Southlake. These two lakes are connected to the Intracoastal waterway making Hollywood a boater's haven.
Hollywood Community & Attractions
Our much-loved Hollywood Boardwalk along the Atlantic Ocean is a can't miss attraction. Offering visitors and residents an chance to take a nostalgic walk back in time, the Hollywood Boardwalk is home to a variety of restaurants and unique shops that welcome you as you stroll along the oceanfront. There is also the Ocean Walk Mall on the beach and the Beach Theatre. Here you can enjoy free music nights Monday through Wednesday.
To experience the vision that is the very core of Joseph Young's original city plan you must visit the ArtsPark at Young Circle. Offering 10 acres of "Garden of Eden" like open space, you will also enjoy broad paved promenades perfect for a casual walk. Active Hollywood residents use this area to go for a run as well. There's even something for the kids with a children's play area with interactive fountain. The arts are alive and well at the nearby Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. Here you can take in a spectacular dance performance, theater, art exhibits and enjoy musical performances.
