Hillsboro Beach Real Estate

The Town of Hillsboro Beach is situated on a small peninsula north of Pompano Beach. It is located in northeast Broward County and extends 3.2 miles from the Hillsboro Inlet on the south to Deerfield Beach on the north and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west. Its greatest width is about 900 feet. Hillsboro Beach has only one road, State Highway A1A. Today there are over 1,500 voters in the Town with a winter population of over 3,000.

The name is derived from the Earl of Hillsborough, to whom large grants of land were made by the English Crown during one of the periods of English possession of Florida that alternated with Spanish ownership. Florida came under the flag of the United States by purchase from Spain in 1819. The Hillsboro Lighthouse, completed in 1907, marks the northern end of the Florida Reef. It contains a 5,500,000 candlepower light and is the most powerful light on the east coast of the United States. Its height is 136 feet above the water. In 1922, Herbert L. Malcolm (later a Town Commissioner for ten years and Mayor for two terms) bought land next to the Inlet and built a school. In 1925 he turned the school into a hotel, which became the present Hillsboro Club.

If you are looking for a place to call home where you can put in a days work and still have time to play a quick nine on a beautiful course, wet a line in waters inhabited by trophy class denizens of the deep, or just unwind with warm sand between your toes and watch the moon rise over the Gulf Stream then Hillsboro Beach is your kind of place.

Hillsboro Beach's location just north of Downtown Fort Lauderdale means it's close to the finest nightlife restaurants and boutiques Broward County has to offer. Downtown Fort Lauderdale and The Fort Lauderdale International Airport are just 30 minutes away. Hillsboro Beach also offers proximity to a host of recreational activities including: Fort Lauderdale Children's Museum, Broward Performing Arts Center, The Fort Lauderdale Art Museum and much more.
