Key Highlights
About Oakridge
Oakridge is a 153-acre residential community in Hollywood, Florida, comprising 477 homes developed on the site of a former golf course. The neighborhood’s transformation from a recreational space to a residential enclave involved complex land-use planning and its formal annexation into the City of Hollywood from unincorporated Broward County. A distinctive feature of the development is the preservation and integration of a six-acre archaeological site within the community’s open spaces and passive parks. Unlike Hollywood’s historic 1920s core, Oakridge represents a later wave of suburban expansion, characterized by its planned residential layout and commitment to incorporating natural and historical elements into its modern infrastructure.
The area offers a semi-rural feel with manicured landscapes and spacious driveways, standing out from the denser parts of the city. With minimal industrial presence and a focus on residential life, it maintains a subdued rhythm that appeals to those seeking a more private, upscale environment. The community is well-suited for dog owners and those who value pedestrian-friendly streets, as the design includes reliable sidewalks and low-traffic residential loops. Prospective residents should consider certain trade-offs, including a high risk of flooding and frequent noise from surrounding traffic. While the population includes a diverse mix of families and seniors with high rates of health insurance coverage, the local school district currently faces significant budget and operational challenges. The neighborhood is best suited for individuals who prioritize a quiet, established residential setting and are prepared to navigate the specific environmental and logistical factors of this part of Hollywood.
