This coastal paradise of more than 140,000 residents is nestled between Fort Lauderdale and Miami on Florida's east coast. According to Money magazine, the city of Hollywood's cultural variety and blend of old and new is symbolic of the direction the entire country is taking. This Diamond on the Gold Coast is truly a "City of the Future."

Downtown Hollywood sets the scene with its quaint brick-lined sidewalks and unique bistros, cafes and art galleries. Hollywood is also located fifteen minutes from Ft. Lauderdale International Airport, popular local entertainment includes the Seminole Indian Reservation and Hard Rock Casino, Gulfstream Race Track and Chief Billy's Swamp Safari, which offers guided hiking, jeep trips, airboat rides and wildlife shows. Real estate in Hollywood is designed with Spanish and Moorish architecture to complement the sultry Mediterranean climate. Single-family homes and office buildings feature arches, domes, balconies, red tile roofs, pastel-hued stucco walls and tiled floors.

Joseph Wesley Young built Hollywood Boulevard, a wide street lined with Royal Palm trees, ornamental lights and the Hollywood Boardwalk, a unique cement promenade patterned after Atlantic City's famous boardwalk. At Hollywood's 50th anniversary celebration in 1975, the city adopted its nickname of "Diamond of the Gold Coast." In recent years, the city has continued to add luster to its reputation through expansion, diversity and city planning.
