Hollywood, Florida: Neighborhood Guide

Explore Hollywood Neighborhood

Hollywood is a city in Broward County, Florida, located on the Atlantic coast between Hallandale Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

Founded in the 1920s, Hollywood is best known for its Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, a 2.5-mile oceanfront promenade lined with cafes, shops and small hotels. Behind the beach, the city offers a mix of established single-family neighborhoods, Intracoastal homes and oceanfront condo towers.

Downtown Hollywood has a growing arts and dining scene around Young Circle and Hollywood Boulevard, and the city sits minutes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Prices are often more accessible than in Miami-Dade, which makes Hollywood popular with families, retirees and second-home buyers.
