Hollywood, FL's iconic 2.5-mile oceanfront Broadwalk, lined with palm trees and colorful art deco buildings, draws visitors and residents alike to its oceanfront promenade, where cyclists and pedestrians share the path with stunning Atlantic Ocean views. Founded in 1921 as a planned community, this city between Fort Lauderdale and Miami provides renters with housing options from beachside apartments to inland single-family homes across its 30 square miles.

Neighborhoods like Hollywood Lakes feature Mediterranean Revival architecture and waterfront properties, while Downtown Hollywood combines modern apartments with historic buildings around the ArtsPark at Young Circle, a 10-acre urban park with an amphitheater and interactive fountain. East Hollywood puts residents steps from the beach, and Hollywood Hills features established neighborhoods with mature oak canopies. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,618.

With convenient access to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and I-95, commuting is straightforward for residents. The city's two Tri-Rail stations at Hollywood and Sheridan Street connect to Miami and West Palm Beach, while Broward County Transit bus routes serve local areas. Major employers include Memorial Regional Hospital, part of the Memorial Healthcare System's flagship campus, and numerous hospitality and retail businesses, with additional professional opportunities throughout the Miami metropolitan area.
