What's Pompano Beach like?

Headed up with some friends around this neighborhood = 505 N Federal Hwy Pompano Beach, FL 33062

Safe? Anything to worry about?

Federal Highway is fine. East of Federal Highway is fine. There are some crummy areas west of Federal Highway. Robyn

pompano beach is a crack town. even if you are east of federal hwy the crack heads will come there and rob you. there have been numerous murders and home invasions along the A1A area of pompano.
the west side of federal is even worse. i would never drive there at night. and sample road.... RUN!

Maybe I've been vacationing in a different place? I'm sure that Pompano Beach has its share of problems, but this board makes it sound like the bad streets of Detroit. Not what I've seen anyway.

Wrong. I rent in between A1A and the intercoastal. It is very safe. I've seen people walk their dogs at midnight in this area.

Even the area between the intracoastal and Federal is safe.

No area is 100% safe, not even with a doorman or in a gated community.

Pompano is very large.
It kinda gets a bad wrap, but I dont really know why. I think overall, it's a pretty average area---not too good, not too bad.

They have a nice outdoor mall by Copans rd and federal---i think easstern pompano is just like eastern fort lauderdale....same stuff...in fact u can barely tel when you've crossed the boarder from pompano to ftl.

It's got some good areas and bad areas....it's so big tho, I mean.... where the heck would I begin?

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. My folks used to live in Lighthouse Point until my mother died about 6 years ago - and we drove from I-95 along Sample Road to see them all the time. Never seemed like a problematic area to us. Robyn
