Melrose Park sits in the middle of it all — a practical, single-family neighborhood in the heart of Fort Lauderdale with quick reach to I-95, the airport, and downtown. It's the kind of place where buyers get real square footage and a yard instead of a high-rise balcony, with nearby pockets like Plantation Acres and Gingerwood Place rounding out the area's mix of established homes. Families gravitate toward the strong Nova school cluster, including Nova High School and College Academy At Broward College.
Melrose Park is a community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
