Best Neighborhoods to Rent in Broward County in 2026

September 8, 2026 · 5 min read

Broward County stretches from Deerfield Beach in the north to Hallandale Beach in the south. Within that range you have everything from beachfront high-rises to single-family homes and townhomes to downtown apartment towers. Here is how the main rental markets break down in 2026.

Hallandale Beach — Best value near the water

Hallandale Beach sits right on the border of Miami-Dade and Broward County, which means you get Miami proximity without Miami pricing. One-bedroom units run $1,500 to $1,900 per month. The city has direct beach access, Gulfstream Park for entertainment, and easy highway access via I-95 and the Florida Turnpike.

Hollywood — Walkability and lifestyle

Hollywood offers something rare in South Florida: genuine walkability. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is 2.5 miles of cafes, shops, and beachfront paths. Young Circle in downtown Hollywood has live music and art events regularly. Harrison Street has grown into a real restaurant row.

Two-bedroom apartments in Hollywood range from $1,700 to $2,400 depending on how close you are to the water. The further west you go the more affordable it gets.

Fort Lauderdale — Harbordale and Victoria Park

For renters who want the full urban South Florida experience, Fort Lauderdale delivers. The Harbordale neighborhood sits just south of Las Olas, close to the Intracoastal, with a mix of single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings.

Expect to pay $1,900 to $2,800 for a two-bedroom in this area. Properties move fast. Well-priced listings in this area can lease quickly, so have your documents ready.

Aventura — Condo towers by the Intracoastal

Aventura, just across the Miami-Dade line, is mostly high-rise condo towers along the Intracoastal and Country Club Drive, plus Aventura Mall. Rents run higher here, starting around $2,200 for a one-bedroom and going well above $3,500 for larger units with water views.

West Park and Pembroke Park — Best kept secret

West Park and Pembroke Park sit just west of Hallandale Beach and offer some of the most affordable single-family home rentals in South Broward. If you need a yard, a garage, or more space and do not want to pay Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale prices, these areas are worth looking at.

The bottom line

Your best area depends on what matters most to you: price, the type of building, commute and the features of the home itself. A good rental agent who knows these areas can help you narrow it down quickly and find something that actually fits.
