South Florida - Whatever You Want It To Be

South Florida is whatever you want it to be.
Do you want it to be natural and untamed? The Everglades are here.
Do you want it to be wild, hip and carefree? Try South Beach.
Are you looking for something quiet, secure and protected? Gated communities abound.
Is grand elegance your style? Then try Palm Beach.
A switch of a few miles here can bring an entirely different atmosphere -- from the boisterous big city style of Miami to the quiet, Venice-inspired canals of Fort Lauderdale.
Yes, at times this part of Florida can seem like a bit of a mess. Much of it seems to have been made up as it developed, sometimes plopped down helper-skelter style. Many of the planned communities seem sterile and vacant. They lack vibrancy and have no clear identity. But given the area's rapid growth, much of this was inevitable.
And all this makes the diversity and the variety all the more welcoming and refreshing.
So, make of it what you will.
The options and choices are yours.
South Florida is whatever you want it to be.
