By

Hillsboro Shores, a community in Pompano Beach, is a quiet, hidden area
not known by many, but those that live in the area couldn't he happier.
"This is a nice
neighborhood," said David Williams, a resident of Hillsboro Shores and a
father of two young children. "It is a perfect place to raise a
family"
Williams says the
area is quiet community sandwiched between the Intracoastal Waterway and the
ocean.
Hillsboro Shores is from the Hillsboro Inlet to Marine Dr.
and east to the ocean and west of Intracoastal, according to Jan Park, a real
estate agent and resident of the area. The community has 268 homes, most of
which are multifamily homes with a few condos.
"I love the area," she said. "I've been here 26
years and I don't plan on ever moving."
The homes in Hillsboro Shores are all different, Park said. No
planned layout exists for the area, but each home has special uniqueness.
The area has great diversity she added. There are less elderly
people in the area now and more families moving in. The occupational fields in
the area also vary from doctors to entrepreneurs.
"I've researched the area thoroughly" said Brian
Mills, a resident of Sunrise hoping to move within the year: "The area is
quiet in the evenings, which is good when you have a 2 month-old baby And the
crime statistics in the area make a family smile.
The crime in Hillsboro Shores is minimal, not to say that it
doesn’t happen. There hasn’t been any serious crime in the area, such as
murders and rapes. According to Park, crimes in the area are limited to minor
burglaries. “This is the safest place to
live," she added. “Neighbors look out for each other and anything out of
the ordinary.”
For those
who love the beach, the area has a private beach access between 2300 and 2208
Bay Drive. The area, which is well lit, is filled with picnic tables and
BBQs, everything needed for a good time.
“I hate that I have to leave the
area," Williams said. “If my house had three rooms instead of two, I
would never think of leaving this place.”
The
atmosphere is like no other he added. With all the diversity and uniqueness
in the area a family felt community always exists. Return
