The lifestyle in Oakland Park · South Florida · Broward County
The lifestyle scene in Oakland Park, Florida.
Oakland Park is a revitalizing inner suburb directly north of Fort Lauderdale — its emerging Culinary Arts District, a sizable LGBTQ+ population spilling over from Wilton Manors, and a diverse, increasingly hip mix of long-time families and young professionals. It's close-in and walkable in spots, an up-and-coming everyday Broward city with a relaxed, open, come-as-you-are streak.
