What is worth knowing about Pompano Beach before you buy: things to do, neighborhoods, schools, getting around and services for residents.
Pompano Beach is a city of about 112,000 people on the Atlantic coast of Broward County, just north of Fort Lauderdale and about 36 miles north of Miami, with Deerfield Beach on its northern side. Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport is only about 15 miles away.
The Town of Pompano was incorporated in 1908; in 1947 it merged with a newly formed beach municipality and became the City of Pompano Beach. The name comes from a fish: a surveyor, Frank Sheen, is said to have written the name of the Florida pompano he had for dinner on his map of the area. The first train arrived in 1896, and from 1961 to 1986 the city's Municipal Stadium hosted spring training for the Washington Senators and then the Texas Rangers.
Over the last decade the beachfront has been rebuilt. The Pompano Beach Fishing Village, a six-acre redevelopment by the ocean, brought restaurants, a hotel, a parking garage and the city's first visitors centre, and the pier was rebuilt higher and twice as wide, reopening in 2022 as the Fisher Family Pier. Inland, the former Pompano Park racetrack is being turned into a large mixed-use district called The Pomp, where Topgolf opened in 2023 next to the Harrah's Pompano Beach casino.
The city also has a famous resident: the Goodyear Blimp has been based at Pompano Beach Airpark since 1979, and it is the only Goodyear airship based on the East Coast.
Pompano Beach is large and varied — the city map shows about 50 named neighborhoods, from canal-front streets near the Intracoastal to golf communities in Palm Aire and a life-plan retirement campus at John Knox Village. Police services are provided under contract by the Broward Sheriff's Office.
The rebuilt pier — nearly 900 feet long, raised for sea-level resilience and ending in the shape of a pompano — is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. It also holds a monument to the first amphibious landing of the Continental Marines in 1776.
