The City of Lauderhill, now in its fourth decade of progress, is meeting the challenges of the future, by developing a new perspective on growth management and economic, residential and commercial development. Planned growth and redevelopment, economic enhancement opportunities, neighborhood preservation and improved human and social services are all city objectives, which will be met by strategic planning, expanding existing resources and creative financing techniques. With these tools, Lauderhill gains the momentum necessary to reshape its urban environment to meet future community needs, goals and desires. Lauderhill was incorporated in 1959 with approximately 100 residents and many acres of developable land. From beautiful grazing pastures, single-family homes began to dominate an early, urban landscape. Lauderhill grew by nearly 30,000 residents between 1970 and 1980, primarily as a result of the promotional activities of the Jackie Gleason Inverarry Golf Classic and the “Inverrary lifestyle”. Inverrary’s tropical landscaping, towering trees, waterfalls and waterways exemplify its atmosphere of quality living. These high standards set the guidelines used by future developers of quality communities citywide.
Lauderhill encompasses 8.6 square miles, with a population of over 70,000 persons and contains an abundance of fine single and multi-family residences. Our business community is diverse, ranging from service organizations to light industry. Residents and business owners are key assets of the community. They are informed, active and concerned. Lauderhill is known for its innovative efforts to improve the quality of life, including health and social services programs, recreational activities and events for the appreciation of culture and the arts.
Lauderhill’s subtropical climate is one of the most favorable in the United States because of the Gulf Stream and Tridents airstreams. The Gulf Stream air stabilizes temperatures, while the Tridents air stream provides cool summers and warm winters. The city has easy access to the beaches and other local attractions in Broward, Palm Beach and Dade counties. The Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport is approximately 5 miles southeast of Lauderhill. Port Everglades, the east coast second deepest port, is within close proximity. A completed network of new super highways helps eliminate problems of traffic congestion, which aid in recreation, travel and commercial transportation needs. |
