You would be dissapointed. I would describe it as a very sleazy area overall, with an odd mix of white trash and Latin American day laborers who may or may not be in this country legally, and also a known cluster of sex offenders. Generally speaking, the whole 441 corridor is in the dumps until you get north of, say, Atlantic Blvd, and most of the middle class moved out west.

Thats too bad, guess I wont go back and check it out.
My grandparents lived off Riverland just of Davie, SW 16th CT, know anything about that neighborhood?

That area is actually still pretty nice. I would say anything a block or two south of Davie Blvd and east of 31st is still okay.

IMO any neighborhood with a duplex is usually a bad one. Is there such thing as nice duplexes becuase I have never seen one?

I agree with the general idea, but there are some in Cooper City that are OK. Lower income people have to live somewhere.

I find this sad, because the neighborhood has such a great location and the boat ramp so close to the New River is a nice feature.
Last year, we looked at home in the Lauderdale Isles area and I was turned off by the scuzziness of Riverland Rd and proximity to 441. It is really too bad because for a boating community you can't beat the location.

Okay, so I think this thread has pretty much exhausted the truth from the streets about the bad areas of Broward. Locking it up.
