Lighthouse Point, known for being a boating community, is
a friendly place incorporated in 1956, populated by 10,767
residents, and so named because it sits under the beam of the
Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse which was built in 1906. The character
of the City is that of quiet, tree-shaded, canal-laced neighborhoods,
with
20 acres
of parks, 13 miles of bikeways, and 18 miles of waterways.
Lighthouse Point is a small town that wishes to remain so.
Tucked in among many other communities, Lighthouse Point has
no room to expand. Preserving city certification is
diminishing any worry
about
the threat of amalgamation into a larger entity. Through providing
full service and continuing to work closely with the Florida
and Broward Leagues of Cities and other appropriate government
agencies, the City is optimistic for the future.
Intracoastal Waterway and Real Estate
Characterized by informal affluence and a leisurely pace,
the attractive neighborhoods are quiet, tree shaded, and water-laced.
Of the residences, 80% are single-family homes, many of which
front on the City's 18 miles of waterways.
The east door of Lighthouse Point opens to the Intracoastal
Waterway, sitting under the beam of the famed Hillsboro Lighthouse.
Virtually all of the original waterfront homes with boat docks
and total ocean access
have been either totally remodeled or completely torn down
and rebuilt with magnificent modern homes. You can still find
ocean-access homes with one fixed bridge in the half-million
range.

Shopping
Federal Highway, with its shopping centers, restaurants, and
other business establishments, is the west door. Approximately
20 acres of parks and mini-parks and 13 miles of bikeways symbolize
the nature of community life. Streets wind and twist and there
are many cul-de-sacs.
Police and fire protection are excellent; the City successfully
operates its own library; and the City government functions
with a minimum of confusion and controversy. Recreation amenities
include the Lighthouse Point Tennis Center and Dan Witt Park
for playing sports, in addition to natural environment parks
and mini-parks.
For young and old alike, Lighthouse Point provides the friendly
atmosphere of a self-sufficient, prosperous, and proud Community.
