Furnished Apartment Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is known as the "Venice of America" due to its expansive and intricate canal system. It is the county seat of Broward County and the principal city of the South Florida metropolitan area.

The economy is heavily reliant on tourism, thus there are a variety of executive rentals in Fort Lauderdale. During the 1970s it was known as a spring break destination for college students. Cruise ships and nautical recreation provide the basis for much of the revenue raised by tourism. Fort Lauderdale now attracts a more sophisticated and affluent tourist, and has a largely dwindling college crowd. Approximately 30% of the city's 10 million annual visitors come to attend conventions. There is a convention center located west of the beach and southeast of downtown with 600,000 square feet of space, including a 200,000 square foot main exhibit hall.

The downtown area, especially around Las Olas Boulevard, has seen dramatic growth in the past decade, and now hosts many new hotels and high-rise condominium developments. The downtown area is the largest in Broward County, although there are other smaller cities in the county with commercial centers. Other improvements include a wide array of new boutiques, art galleries and restaurants.

Companies based in the Fort Lauderdale area include Auto Nation, Citrix Systems, DHL Express, and National Beverage Corporation. The largest employers in the county are Tenet Healthcare, American Express, The Continental Group and Maxim Integrated Products.

As is true of many parts of Florida, the city's population has a strong seasonal variation as snowbirds from the north spend the winter and early spring in Florida.

In addition to its museums, beaches and nightlife, Fort Lauderdale is home to the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop, a large indoor/outdoor flea market and the site of the world's largest drive-in movie theater, with 13 screens. The International Swimming Hall of Fame is located on Fort Lauderdale beach, and houses a large aquatic complex as well as a museum, theater and research library. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is a 180 acre park along the beach, with nature trails, camping and picnicking areas, canoeing, and features the Terramar Visitor Center, with exhibits about the ecosystem of the park.
