More broadly, South Florida remains one of the top-demand destinations for retirees across the U.S., owing to its pleasant climate, lack of state income tax, and abundant amenities such as beaches, cultural arts, and recreational opportunities. Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport, ranked as one of the most convenient and highly rated suburban airports in the country, is also primed for a $1 billion expansion to its nearby convention center. This means The Lauderdale is less than a 15-minute drive away from the airport, convention center, and beautiful Fort Lauderdale Beach, offering easy access for travelers and vacationers.
