Downtown Guide

The New River, cultural venues and a growing residential skyline.

Downtown Fort Lauderdale brings apartments, offices and cultural destinations together around the New River. Riverwalk links waterfront parks and places to pause between museum visits.

The Museum of Discovery and Science, NSU Art Museum and Broward Center for the Performing Arts anchor different parts of the downtown area. Brightline's Fort Lauderdale station is north of the river.
