Oakland Park Between Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors
Oakland Park occupies a narrow strip of Broward County wedged between Fort Lauderdale to the south and east, Wilton Manors to the southwest, and unincorporated Broward to the north. The city incorporated in 1929 and spent most of the 20th century as a quiet residential suburb with modest commercial activity along Dixie Highway and Oakland Park Boulevard. Its geography is flat and low, crisscrossed by canals that drain into the Middle River and eventually the Intracoastal Waterway.
The population of roughly 44,000 has become increasingly diverse. Haitian, Jamaican, Brazilian, and other immigrant communities have established themselves alongside the longer-resident population. The Funky Buddha Brewery, which opened on Oakland Park Boulevard before being acquired by Constellation Brands, put the city on the craft beer map. Jaco Pastorius Park honors the legendary bass guitarist who grew up in the area, and the park hosts an annual birthday celebration for the musician.
Redevelopment has focused on the Main Street area around NE 12th Avenue and Oakland Park Boulevard, where the city has invested in streetscape improvements, mixed-use zoning, and public art installations. The Culinary Arts District designation along East Oakland Park Boulevard encourages restaurant and food-oriented businesses. Despite these efforts, Oakland Park remains one of the more affordable addresses in a county where housing costs have risen sharply since 2020.
