Located in Broward County, Hillsboro Beach is the southern half of Deerfield Island. What sets Hillsboro Beach apart from the other Florida coastal communities is the fact that there are almost no commercial properties in Hillsboro Beach. The few here were grandfathered in when the new building restrictions took effect.
With three miles of shoreline, Hillsboro Beach is separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. At just 900 feet across, Hillsboro Beach is all beach. The area was once filled with lavish, deluxe mansions. Though many of the mansion homes still stand here, they have mostly been converted to luxury condo and townhome communities.
The lack of commercial property is no problem for residents of the seaside community because the homes offer resort-style amenities.
The amenities of these ultra-luxe residential communities include heated pools, steam saunas, spa accommodations, fitness centers, walking trails, golf courses, dock rentals, and scenic views. Better yet, many of the residences are fully furnished and move-in ready. Most of the properties offer security and surveillance cameras, and some of the communities are even guard-gated.
The coastal island community of Hillsboro Beach is a dream home location for active retirees and young professionals willing to accept the commute for the privilege. The residents of this small community do live a life of privilege indeed. And since the community is just 20 minutes north of Fort Lauderdale, the commute is not even much of an inconvenience.
Condo and townhome communities allow for the population to grow. They also offer a long list of lavish comforts and amenities inside the homes and long lists of community benefits to enjoy.
The commute is necessary for those who live at Hillsboro beach because the lack of commercial properties means fewer jobs are available close by. The community is primarily vehicle dependent; though the neighborhoods are walkable and there are walking trails, you will need a vehicle to reach retail and dining accommodations.
The two commercial properties here make the most of the space allotted. At the only hotel in the city, Hillsborough Beach Resort, you can enjoy global cuisine and then head to the ballroom that looks out at the Atlantic Ocean for a breathtaking scenic view of Hillsboro’s pristine beaches.
Built in 1925, The Hillsboro Club has been around longer than possibly any resident. The Club is highly exclusive, with members and guests only. Enjoy private dock access, sailboat rentals, state-of-the-art fitness and weight training center, a steam room, golf courses, tennis courts, a croquet lawn, and playgrounds for children.
Located a short five-minute drive north, The Cove Shopping Center and Hillsboro Square Shopping Center offer a variety of shopping and dining options. The Cove Waterfront Restaurant is an elegant date night location.
There may not be places to spend money in Hillsboro, but there are things to do. The historic Hillsboro Lighthouse was built in 1907 and is still one of the tallest and most well-light lighthouses on the entire East Coast. A bit further south, you will find the Lighthouse Museum, where you can learn about the lighthouse’s long history.
The pristine sandy beaches and beautifully clear ocean water offer an abundance of activities, including volleyball, shell collecting, snorkeling, diving, swimming, surfing, boating, and much more.
