About Fort Lauderdale
Las Olas Boulevard is a major east-west street in Fort Lauderdale, about 2.5 miles long, running from downtown to State Road A1A on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Its eastern section crosses the Intracoastal Waterway and passes the residential neighbourhoods of Seven Isles, Hendricks and Venice Isles. West of SE 17th Avenue it becomes a shopping and dining district with restaurants, bars, galleries and boutiques, and the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale and Stranahan House, a historic home by the New River, lie along it. The homes are mostly small, sleeping around four, nearly all with air conditioning and a garden, and most with a private pool. They are spread over several kilometres, so check each one's distance from the boulevard and the beach.
