Dania Beach is a small Broward County city just north of Hollywood and south of Fort Lauderdale, with Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Port Everglades on its northern edge. Its ZIP code is 33004. It has a short stretch of beach, a historic downtown along Federal Highway (US-1), and a mix of older garden apartments, small buildings, townhomes and newer rental communities.

The main areas, by type of housing

East of US-1 toward the beach. Smaller buildings and some condos, closer to the beach and the Intracoastal marinas.
Along US-1 and Dania Beach Boulevard. The downtown strip, with older apartments and some newer mixed-use rental buildings close to shops and bus routes.
West of I-95. Townhomes, single-family homes and newer garden-style communities, often with more parking.

Getting around

Dania Beach is next to I-95 and I-595, which helps if you commute to Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood or Miami. Living near the airport is convenient for travel; when you tour, check the unit at different times of day so you know what to expect from flight paths and traffic. A Tri-Rail station serves the Fort Lauderdale Airport area; check the Tri-Rail schedule for your route.

What to ask before you apply

Is the unit in a condo or HOA that must approve renters, and how long does it take?
What is included: water, trash, parking, washer/dryer?
What are the total move-in funds and every fee?
What is the pet policy? (Assistance animals are handled under fair housing rules, not the pet policy.)
Is it an annual lease? We list long-term rentals only.

Things people like to check on a Dania Beach tour

Noise. Visit once in the morning and once in the evening; flight paths and road noise vary by street and time.
Parking. Ask how many spaces come with the unit and whether guest parking is on-site.
Laundry. Older buildings often have shared laundry rooms; newer communities more often have in-unit washers and dryers.
Storm prep. Ask about shutters or impact windows and look up the address on FEMA's flood map service center.

Write the answers down for every unit; it makes comparing two or three Dania Beach options with Hollywood ones much easier.

Applying in Dania Beach

The paperwork is the same as anywhere in Broward: photo ID, proof of income, a credit and background check, rental history, and move-in funds. If the unit is in a condo or HOA community, there is an extra association application with its own fee and timeline. Ask for both timelines before you give notice at your current home. Our documents checklist and application tips walk through it step by step.
