Victoria Park
Originally planned in the mid 1920's, Victoria Park, was laid out in two
parts in late 1924 and early 1925 by Alfred G. Kuhn. Named for his
daughter Victoria, Kuhn intended for his subdivision, bounded
then on the north by NE 7th Street, on the east by the Karen Canal, the
south by East Broward Boulevard and the west by NE 14th and NE 17th
Avenues to be an exclusively residential real estate enclave.
At the time, Victoria Park encompassed approximately twenty-four blocks
and had unusual planning features such as curved and diagonal street
patterns to make Victoria Park homes more appealing, and Lake Stranahan,
which was incorporated to provide scenic building lots for waterfront
homes in Victoria Park.
By mid 1925, the typical lot was selling for $2,000 and lots along Broward Boulevard and Lake Stranahan for considerably more.
A Victoria Park addition was planned in July, 1925. In February, 1926,
Victoria Courts (now a designated historic district) was added to Kuhn's
development to provide still more residential real estate to this
delightful area.
The historic Victoria Park neighborhood has successfully reinvented
itself from it's humble cottage beginnings to a thriving, upscale
community.
Today, Victoria Park real estate stretches more than one square mile all
the way to US 1 (Federal Highway) on the west, Lake Stranahan on the
east, Broward Boulevard on the south and Sunrise Boulevard on the
north.
With it's charming and delightful neighborhood atmosphere, mature trees, desirable location directly adjacent to downtown, Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas Boulevard, Victoria Park now exceeds its' founder Alfred Kuhn's wildest dreams! In recent years Victoria Park has been a magnet for those who want to live near downtown's business, shopping and entertainment areas. People have taken older residential real estate and renovated and upgraded to create modern and appealing Fort Lauderdale homes. Developers have leveled whole blocks of modest single story homes built before central air conditioning was commonplace and before modern building codes made Fort Lauderdale homes more substantial. In their place Victoria Park now offers whole blocks of elegant upscale new construction condominiums in Fort Lauderdale and townhomes with two car garages, swimming pools and roof decks and more, all in walking distance to downtown Fort Lauderdale. Take a look at Pine Crest Village Condominiums, which is very Key West and decidedly upscale, and The Ellington, which offers luxurious Victoria Park townhomes as just two fine examples of residential real estate in Fort Lauderdale and great Victoria Park homes.
