"BAD" areas of broward.. the TRUTH from the STREETS (Miami: apartment complexes, crime rates)

[ezveedub]

Is very easy to tell the bad areas of Broward, just by looking at the businesses. If the local business in the area your looking at doesn't fit with your lifestyle or they are closing down, then the neighborhood is not for you.

Where there are drug problems, there are crime problems. Even Coral Springs has a bad area. By the way there is an MLK in just about every city in the US. The MLK in Denver you don't a sniff at a house for anything less than $800K.
Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes share an area called "Deepside" That is a bad area, even still one of the starters on the Boyd Andersen HS got accepted to Princeton. And he lives in the middle of all the sh*t going on around him. Stay away from the racial attacks if you please.

Thank you

Very well said.

Thank you reiliz, I'm all for people being able to speak their minds but when did it become OK to call an entire county a cesspool because there is racial diversity. I was born in Hialeah, raised in North Miami, North Miami Beach, Biscayne Park and Hollywood so I've lived in my fair share of communities in Dade and Broward. I enjoy the diversity in south Florida because it means that I can wake up on any given day and get some ceviche at the local Peruvian restaurant, munch on a Jamaican pattie from a corner store, turn on the radio and hear Merengue, Salsa, Bachata, etc., drive down to Hollywood beach and drink Ukrainian beers while staring at the beautiful ocean and overhearing tourists from Quebec speaking French and other passersby speaking Russian, Greek, Spanish, Creole, and any other language you can imagine. I love the ethnic cornucopia that is south Florida, even with the myriad social problems that you find down here or in any other large metropolitan area for that matter.

Fort Lauderdale is made up of mostly small businesses... do you guys really expect a bed of roses? Lauderdale has a ton of bad areas and most are east of 441. I would say area in South Florida east of 441 is mostly a bad area that I don't want to live in.

Deepside is a horrible area, as well as Sistrunk... I wouldn't get caught dead there after hours.

Not all of Lauderhill, Pompano, or Melrose Park are bad, you make it sound like it is.

That's your opinion. I wouldn't live in any house in Melrose Park. It's a Jamaican and Haitian immigrant dump. The same for Lauderhill. There is not one decent neighborhood there either. Pompano has one decent area near the intercoastal and that's it. Broward SUCKS big time.

I disagree, in regards to crime Orlando and Palm Beach County are much more dangerous than most of Broward. In regards to nightlife there is plenty going on in Broward, once you get out of the far out suburbs like Coral Springs and go into Fort Lauderdale there is a lot to do. There seems to be enough excitment here for the college kids to come down every spring break and for people to relocate here
