Pompano Beach is the home of the Goodyear Blimp, the Spirit of Innovation, but it’s much more than that. This impressive city, located north of Fort Lauderdale, has been especially noted for its real estate market. It’s been written up in Money Magazine and the Wall Street Journal. It’s even been featured on CNN.
Pompano Beach is one of the early cities of Florida. It was incorporated in 1908, though settlers had intermittently inhabited it since the 1880s. The name has an interesting story – the pompano fish is from the Atlantic, and one of the first documented residents is said to have named the town after the fish, which he had for dinner. The city is now inhabited by about 100,000 people.
Now is an excellent time to invest in Pompano Beach – many areas of the city, formerly run down, are being rebuilt. Pompano Beach’s “building boom” is a great opportunity for business development or expansion, or even just purchasing a new home.
Culture in Pompano is far from lacking. Festivals include a seafood festival, an Irish festival, an Italian festival, a boat parade, and even a nautical flea market. Several museums and theatres are part of the city as well.
Living in Pompano Beach gives you direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, so if you have a boat, travel is easily facilitated. Pompano Beach is a popular vacation destination, and the booming real estate industry makes it a good choice of home cities if you want the potential to earn a lot while working hard in the real estate business.
Pompano Beach has plenty of city green space, and it also is on the Atlantic Ocean. This particularly scenic city can make a fantastic home, business investment, or both.
