North Riverwalk at Night (Fort Lauderdale: neighborhood, live, restaurants)

[Cloudship]

How safe is the north riverwalk at night? I am talking about the area around the Performing Arts center.

Generally speaking that area is not unsafe at night.

That area is fine at night, it's just a block or so away from a pretty lively area with bars and restaurants.

I have walked to the Broward Center and back at night and while it seems safe, I stopped doing so. It is very dark at night and there are a lot of homeless there.

Thanks. I have no problem with homeless people, at least not their presence. I do think homelessness itself is a big problem in Florida, but one people do want want to address. But you have to fix the homelessness, not where they are.

The homelessness, while a small issue in Florida, is nothing compared to California.

Fort Lauderdale has a homeless issue, I spent the weekend there and its bad. Beach has it, Broward Blvd is full of homeless once you get west of the courthouse.


Riverwalk for me would be a no...........its not that great even in daylight!

Don't judge. We take care of our homeless in my neighborhood. As a matter of fact, I am on a first name basis with many of them.

I spent the weekend at the Ritz Carlton and the homeless can be aggressive/crazy. I saw a few standing on the wall screaming nonsense in the middle of the day this weekend. Not 2am, more like 2 pm. Went to Foxy Brown's new location (beautiful BTW) but the 7/11 a block south on US1 was sketchy on Sunday am.

I'm a live/let live guy but also do not want to be hassled by anyone homeless or not. Broward Blvd is ground zero near the tri-rail
