Hollywood Florida Twin Lakes “Northlake” and “Southlake”

access_timeJuly 29, 2008personScott Patterson

Hollywood Lakes is a large residential section with twin man made lakes known as “Northlake” and “Southlake” flanking Hollywood Boulevard as focal points for beauty, symmetry, and aquatic activities. Southlake is designated as a wake zone and is one of the only areas that offers water skiing and Jet Skiing directly from your property with close proximity to Hollywood Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura and Miami.

Northlake and Southlake Offering Great Views

The lakes draw a lot of attention not just for their size but for the open spaces, unobstructed lake views, cool breezes and natural ventilation that comes from living along either lake. One of South Florida’s hidden waterfront communities.

A Friendly Tip from Scott Patterson – Your Aventura Real Estate Agent!

Aventura, Hallandale, Hollywood, Golden Beach and all South Florida drivers driving through Aventura should be aware that new “unmanned cameras” have been installed to promote compliance with red light traffic signals. I actually discovered the traffic cameras the other day as I was on my way with a client to show him a couple of Aventura real estate listings.

Where to Find those Sneaky South Florida Red Light Cameras

The cameras will photograph and automatically send a notice of violation to South Florida motorists who run red lights on the corner of Biscayne Boulevard & Aventura Boulevard as well as Country Club Drive & Aventura Boulevard.

Your Grace Period Will Soon Be Up!

During the first 90 days the system is activated, violators will receive a warning in the mail. These two intersections are just the beginning. More South Florida intersections have been targeted for traffic cameras, so take heed.

This is a helpful reminder to all – please drive carefully in our South Florida neighborhoods!

Until my next post,

International Buyers Descend on Homes for Sale in Hollywood, FL

Lately, I have really noticed an increase in international buyers interested in South Florida real estate especially buyers from Europe. I just sold this new Hollywood Beach home that closed and sold for 1.5 million dollars, it was another cash transaction! No doubt, international buyers are taking advantage of the soft value of the US dollar versus the value of the Euro when buying homes for sale in South Florida.

South Florida truly is an international melting pot, and these new Scott Patterson client’s in the video are from six different nationalities including France, Nicaragua, Canada, Greece, Italy and of course, the USA. This video was shot with our client’s friends and family while they were visiting their new waterfront property in the Hollywood Lakes area in Hollywood, FL. The other clients purchased a waterfront Hallandale property in the Hallandale gated waterfront community of Golden Isles that they plan to totally remodel. Combined, these international buyers purchased 3 South Florida properties valued at almost $5 million.
