About Hollywood
Determined to make Hollywood a location to be visited by the masses, Young created what is now known as Port Everglades in 1928, the state’s second busiest cruise port. In 1954, Hollywood Boulevard was extended from State Road 7 to US 27. This started westward expansion of the city, adding Hollywood Mall and creating Hollywood Hills. The city continued to grow with the opening of The Diplomat Hotel in 1958.
Hollywood is also the location for the legendary Seminole Indian Reservation, which recently became one of the area's hottest entertainment and nightclub spots with the introduction of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The Seminoles are an important part of Florida's history; their story is told in the Ah-Tha-Thi-Ki Museum. The tribe also provides the community with several cultural events and attractions offered exclusively to the city.
Hollywood has a population of 140,000 people. Its diverse population has been said to reflect the future makeup of the country's population in 2022. It is located in southeast Broward County with five to six miles of beaches. The "Diamond of the Gold Coast," as it is called, is Florida's 10th largest city, hosting monthly entertainment and events in several of its public venues.
The city also offers plenty of family-friendly activities, whether it is walking on the boardwalk, visiting galleries at the historic Harrison Art & Design District, shopping in downtown or partying at the Hard Rock. Now is the time to take another look at Hollywood Florida real estate.
