Named for the historic Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, Lighthouse Point is a small, affluent waterfront city of about 10,000 residents — and one of Broward County’s best-kept secrets for boaters. Incorporated in 1956, it packs roughly 18 miles of ocean-access waterways into just 2.4 square miles.
Here, deepwater canals with coveted “no fixed bridges” put the Atlantic minutes from your private dock via the Hillsboro Inlet. Prestigious enclaves like the Marina District, Venetian Isles, Lake Placid and Coral Key are lined with waterfront estates built for the yachting life. LaurieAnne Minoff guides buyers through this tightly held, boat-centric luxury market.
Beyond the water, Lighthouse Point protects its quiet, family-oriented feel with more than 20 acres of parks, miles of bike paths, a yacht club and tennis center and a low-key charm — all midway between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton.
