Fort Lauderdale like any city varies by the block and while overall many parts of Fort Lauderdale are popular with the gay community – there are some communities / neighborhoods that are less popular – ones that as a Gay Fort Lauderdale Realtor – I personally would not recommend.

There are however still many great neighborhoods /communities that are popular with the Gay/LGBT community that are well worth considering!
Featured Neighborhood
North Beach
In each post I like to feature a popular gay friendly neighborhood.
