Hollywood Lakes and Young Circle were developed in the 1920s by Joseph Young, who envisioned a master-planned city with grand boulevards, lakes, and cultural spaces. The Lakes became a desirable address for professionals and families, while Young Circle served as the civic and cultural heart. Over the decades, Hollywood Lakes preserved much of its residential charm, with historic homes and leafy streets, while Young Circle evolved into a hub for arts, dining, and events. The early 2000s brought major revitalization, including ArtsPark and a wave of mural installations. Today, the area combines suburban-lakefront living with urban, walkable energy.

Wake up to sunrise on the Lakes, jog or bike around Young Circle, head to the Broadwalk for ocean breezes, and end the evening at an art walk or downtown café. For buyers, this neighborhood delivers historic charm, cultural access, and waterfront living — all in one of Broward’s most walkable downtowns.

While Hollywood Lakes is primarily historic single-family, the Young Circle area is attracting new mid-rise and mixed-use developments: Diplomat Residences — Luxury condos linked to resort amenities. Apogee Beach Hollywood — Boutique oceanfront tower. Hyde Resort & Residences — Condo-hotel hybrid with resort programs. Costa Hollywood — Condo-hotel with direct Broadwalk access. Upcoming boutique projects — Developers are focusing on smaller luxury towers along the beachfront.
