Questions people ask

Short answers, with the City's figures.

Is Oakland Park a good place to invest?
The City reports that total market value in its downtown and redevelopment area rose 171% from 2016, from about $926 million to more than $2.1 billion, and that 447 new homes are coming downtown at Sky and Horizon. Its downtown work won the Florida League of Cities' 2026 Municipal Achievement Award for Economic Advancement. Past growth is not a promise of future value; speak with your own advisers.
How far is the new downtown from 3541 NE 13th Ave?
Close. In a straight line, City Hall at the Sky Building is about ¼ mile away, Horizon is about ⅛ mile and Greenleaf Park is about 0.15 mile. Glenwood Garden is next door. Wilton Drive is about three minutes by car.
Will there be a train stop in Oakland Park?
A commuter-rail stop is proposed on the Florida East Coast line at Main Street (NE 12th Avenue), between NE 36th and NE 38th Streets. 77% of residents supported it in a citywide survey, and Horizon's plan leaves room for a potential platform. It is a proposal, not yet built.
What is OP3D?
The Oakland Park Downtown Development District. In June 2022 the City Commission expanded it from 148 to about 235 acres, with Mixed-Use Downtown, Intown Neighborhoods, Warehouse Flex and Middle River District areas.
When will Horizon be finished?
The City has not published a finish date. Greenleaf Park, part of the Horizon deal, opened first on 27 August 2026, ahead of construction on the larger building: 311 homes, more than 20,700 sq ft of shops and 195 public parking spaces.
Is the area walkable?
Increasingly. Glenwood Garden is next door, Greenleaf Park and the new downtown are a short walk, and the City's NE 13th Avenue project is adding sidewalks and accessible routes on the homes' own street, with completion expected in fall 2026.
