Exclusive Intercoastal Living
What are you looking for in a home? Something regal and extravagant, or something small and tasteful? Lighthouse Point is a varied community that has both types of these luxury homes, but above all else, what defines Lighthouse Point luxury residences is their proximity to the Intercoastal Waterway.
Lighthouse Point is located in Broward County, just West of Hillsboro Beach on the Gold Coast of South Florida. It is a small, exclusive community of luxury residences that skirts the Intercoastal Waterway, separated from the Atlantic Ocean only by the thin, coastal dermis of A1A. The town takes its name from the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, which is located to the North of the city in Hillsboro Beach. The Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse can be seen from up to 28 miles away, and is a hallmark of the type of small seaside-town living that Lighthouse Point offers. Lighthouse Point was incorporated into Broward County in 1956 as a small community of 600 residents. Lighthouse Point still strives to remain small and exclusive to this day, offering some of the most unique and high-end real estate in South Florida.
A Florida Sportsman's Fantasy
From their backyards, owners of Lighthouse Point luxury residences enjoy views of the intercoastal, frequently sighting manatee and other rare species traversing their backyard waterways. Over the years, Lighthouse Point has developed a culture based on leisure. Fishing is the preferred hobby of the city's residents, most of whom are luxury boat owners. Within Lighthouse Point itself there are many bait and boat repair shops, as well as a large district of yacht and boat brokerages located just to the West of Lighthouse Point, in Pompano Beach.
Most Lighthoust Point luxury residences enjoy the additional amenity of private dock space. If you are the type of person who has the sudden urge to jump on your boat and impulsively chase down a school of tarpon after a long day of work, then an Intercoastal Home in Lighthouse Point is a must for you. Lighthouse Point is a place of excitement. Its residents will tell you that there is nothing like the feeling of knowing that access to the ocean is just a few feet from their backyard. Lightouse Point luxury residences come with a sense of pride in the knowledge that only an elite few are able to enjoy the opulence and splendor of such a scenic coastal town.
Lighthouse Point's strong leisure culture is rooted in the city's maritime history. Constructed in the 1920's, Cap's Place Island Restaurant is a gourmet local sea-food restaurant with humble beginnings as a bootlegger's dropping-off point and local speakeasy. The restaurant is still open to this day, accessible only by a private shuttle that ferries residents to Cap's exclusive island location. Cap's Place remains as a historic artifact of the type of coastal city that existed in Florida in the early 20th-century, and juxtaposes Lighthouse Point's scenic past with its luxurious and modern present.
A Sense of Community Amidst Luxury Estates
Lighthouse Point is a premier community of luxury estates, but not so big that its residents don't enjoy treating one another to scenic boat trips on the weekend. Because of the shared interests of most of the city's high-end residents, Lighthouse Point is a town with a strong sense of community, and an excellent place to raise a family. Lighthouse Point and the surrounding areas of Pompano and Deerfield Beach are home to a selection of distinguished private, public, and parochial schools.
Lighthouse Point has five public parks for its residents to enjoy. Dan Witt Park, a six acre recreation area complete with basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and soccer fields, is renowned for its popular Summer Day Camp program, which attracts parents and children from all over the surrounding communities.
