An established South Florida community, Poinsettia Heights dates back to the 1940s. Originally, the neighborhood was called “North Ridge.” A key selling point of Poinsettia Heights for many buyers is that the community provides an appealing mix of smaller bungalows as well as newer constructions meeting the size criteria for luxury homes in South Florida. A sprinkling of condos and townhomes rounds out the housing mix. Poinsettia Heights is located in the northeast section of Fort Lauderdale and offers easy access to Hwy. 1. The picturesque Middle River runs through the northern section of the community. Despite its relatively small size, there is plenty to do in Poinsettia Heights, which features a high density of restaurants, cafes, and gyms. Residents enjoy outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, picnicking, and patio dining year-round due to the balmy climate. The community is family-friendly, home to an elementary and a middle school, and is known for its well-educated population.
