NEIGHBORHOOD
Poinsettia Heights is a centrally located quiet neighborhood in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Steps away from vibrant Wilton Manors and the Beach, and a short drive to Miami, the area is a perfect location to explore South Florida from.
The location is perfect for those guests who decide not to rent a car. Sunrise Blvd, Federal Highway (US1) and the adorable outcrop that is dubbed 13th street (NE 13th St) are all within walking distance (under a mile).
LOCAL FLAVOR
Nearby you will find local gems such as Eucalyptus Gardens, Storks, Gulfstream Brewery, Lovelee Bakeshop, Croissan‘time, and Montce Swim. The Galleria Mall is just 1.5 miles away and there are plenty of places to rent Kayaks/ Paddleboards, dozens of mid-century modern vintage shops, and most importantly; the golden sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach.

GETTING AROUND
In Poinsettia Heights, getting around is smooth sailing. While the neighborhood itself is tucked away on quiet, tree-lined streets, you’re only minutes from major routes like Sunrise Boulevard and Federal Highway. Landlubbers can easily grab an Uber or Lyft to set out on their adventures, but for those charting their own course, Sixt rent-a-car on Sunrise Boulevard is just a five-minute drive and offers a fleet of vehicles perfect for groups or longer voyages. Public transportation is available nearby, with bus stops only a block west, though Fort Lauderdale’s system is still more of a dinghy than a ship compared to larger cities.
Sunrise Blvd, Federal Highway (US-1), and the charming NE 13th Street district are all within walking distance (under a mile). Uber, Lyft, scooters, and even golf cart rentals are popular options, and the Brightline train station connects you easily to Miami, West Palm Beach, and Orlando.
For exploring at your own pace, many guests enjoy the freedom of golf carts, scooters, or bikes to navigate the breezy streets and nearby beach areas. And if you’d rather swap asphalt for water, the iconic Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi is close at hand—your pass to cruising the Intracoastal like a true mariner, with stops at waterfront restaurants, shops, and cultural spots. Before you drop anchor, we’ll share our custom, Google-powered digital guide so you can discover Fort Lauderdale’s hidden treasures and navigate the city like a seasoned local.
