The Old Pompano Neighborhood
Located in the heart of Pompano Beach, the Old Pompano neighborhood is one of South Florida’s oldest residential areas. The neighborhood was established soon after the Florida East Coast Railway arrived in 1896, and still contains dozens of homes dating from the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s.
The Old Pompano neighborhood has a relaxed ambiance, with a mixture of architectural styles, oversized lots and abundant trees and foliage. It has become one of the most desirable places to live in South Florida.
