Easy driving to NOVA from RV park & affordable community (Hollywood: RV parks, 2013)

[Imported]

Hello Everyone!
My daughter and I are planning a trip down to Nova Southeastern University to take part in their Trauma Resolution Integration Program (TRIP). We are currently in the NE and probably will end up doing a permanent move to the area. Treating trauma is not a quick fix.
I am over 55 and am thinking an affordable community within a comfortable driving distance to the clinic would be ideal. We would be going a couple times a week and she doesn't drive. The address is SW 30th ST, between University and Davie Rd. I am concerned about the traffic being horrid. From what I have read about the area it can be.
I have a house to sell up north and will probably have to stay in our Aliner while we get things started and see how things go. So I guess we're starting out needing a good nearby RV park, then we need suggestions on affordable communities/areas to look at for a move. I am really not comfortable with high HOA fees, like $300+, on top of a mortgage. She's on SSI and I have fixed income. I was hoping at one point I could sell my house and pay cash for a retirement house...not sure that can happen in that area. My house, in the condition it's in will probably only sell for $150K-$160k
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank You!

Your not going to get much for 160k in South Florida. Also HOA fees here are extremely high, expect to pay 400-500 a month. Some places though might include cable, internet, etc. I'm not sure how traffic is where your at but yes it can get really bad especially on university drive where nova is because people are trying to get onto 595. I did a Google search and found some RV parks

Thanks! I Googled the RV parks too, didn't get exact same you did. Thanks I'll check them out. Good to know about University & 595. That's the kind of info I needed. Where to avoid when trying to get to the clinic, hopefully go in another way.
I looked on Realtor.com and it looks like if I can get in a good area ~4 miles more in Ft. Lauderdale, the prices go down. But will it take me a ridiculous amount of time to travel 4-5 miles? Any neighborhood suggestions?
Thank you!!

Be very careful in choosing where to live in ft lauderdale. I'll post a link that shows a safety map of broward county. The general rule for broward is anything west of university is good and when you start to head east you start going downhill until you get close to the beach. Victoria Park, Lauderdale by the sea, and Las Olas are good areas in ft Lauderdale but I think those might be out of your budget. If I were you I would check out parts of Hollywood as they would be cheaper and not to far from NOVA. The thing about South Florida is you can have 400k houses on a street and a couple blocks down its a whole different world (lot of burglaries, drugs, etc) so it's best if you can check out the area before you come down, which if your staying in your RV you would be able to do.
