Apartments Near Me in South Broward: How to Search the Right Radius

By Zach Curtis, licensed agent, Realty Hub, SL3664129. Updated October 18, 2026. General information, not legal advice.

"Apartments near me" searches show whatever a map app thinks is close. That is a start, but in South Florida the right radius depends on bridges, I-95 exits and which side of US-1 you are on more than on miles. If you are near Hallandale Beach, here is every nearby city in our feed with today's live numbers, and a simple way to decide how far to search.

Live rentals in the cities around Hallandale Beach

Asking rents (not signed leases) from the long-term $1,500 to $6,000 listings in RentedFirst's BeachesMLS feed, calculated when this page loaded. Seasonal and short-term listings are excluded. Updated October 18, 2026. Total across all cities: 2237 live listings from $1,500 to $6,000 a month (median $2,500).

Pick a radius by commute, not by miles

1. Write down your fixed points: work or school, and anywhere you go several times a week.
2. Test the drive at the real time. Crossing the Intracoastal on Hallandale Beach Boulevard or Hollywood Boulevard at rush hour is different from a Sunday drive.
3. Transit: Broward County Transit and Miami-Dade Transit buses run on US-1 and the major boulevards; Brightline and Tri-Rail stations are within a short drive. Check the agencies' schedules for your route.
4. Start with 2 to 3 cities, then widen if your budget or size is not there.

What changes from city to city

• Housing type. Beach-side Hallandale, Hollywood and Aventura are mostly condo towers; West Park and western Hollywood have more houses and townhomes.
• Approval. Condo and HOA approval is common in towers and some townhome communities; a house outside an HOA usually needs only the landlord's approval.
• County. Aventura is in Miami-Dade; the others are in Broward.
• Price. The table above shows the live difference.

Search by what you need

Filter by the home itself: studios, 1 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms, pet-friendly, waterfront, or under $2,000. Or type what you want into the Find my place box and it searches the live feed for you.

We describe places by housing, prices and roads. For schools or crime data, check official public sources directly.

Fair housing: every listing is open to everyone. We describe buildings, prices and processes, never who lives where.

Make "near me" searches work for you

• Use the city name. "2 bedroom Hollywood FL" returns tighter results than "apartments near me."
• Set a real budget filter. Listings above your range waste tour time.
• Check the listing date. Units that have been listed a while may have room to negotiate.
• Ask about the full move-in total before you tour, so you can compare cities fairly.
• Save a few favorites and send them to Zach; he will check which are still available and book back-to-back showings.

You can also type exactly what you want ("1 bed near the beach under $2,500, pets OK") into the Find my place box. It searches the live feed by the home's features and tells you if it had to widen anything to find a match.

When to widen beyond these six cities

If none of the six cities has your size at your budget today, widen by size before you widen by distance: a studio or 1-bedroom close by may beat a 2-bedroom far away once you add commute time and tolls.

The counts in the table change through the day as listings are added and rented. If a city shows zero today, check again in a few days or ask Zach to set an alert; new long-term listings appear regularly in all six cities.
