Moving to Hallandale Beach: a practical guide
Housing and what it costs
Hallandale Beach is a mix of condos and single-family housing, and it generally prices below the Miami-Dade beach communities immediately south while sitting close to them. That position — between Miami and Fort Lauderdale — is much of the appeal, and it makes Hallandale a practical middle option for families who want South Florida coastal living without Surfside or Sunny Isles pricing. Figures are approximate as of mid-2026 — use the apartment search above for live listings.
Picking an area
The community is compact and centered on E Hallandale Beach Boulevard, where Congregation Levi Yitzchok Lubavitch (Chabad South Broward) and the Elana Leah Mikvah anchor things, with Netive Ezra serving the Sephardic community nearby. Young Israel of Hollywood–Ft. Lauderdale on Stirling Road, technically just north, is the major Modern Orthodox hub for observant families in this area. Confirm walkability and eruv status for a specific address.
Kosher and daily life
Hallandale has local kosher options, and the density of Aventura, Sunny Isles, and North Miami Beach is a short drive south — which in practice gives residents access to one of the deepest kosher markets in the country without paying to live in it. Most families here shop across the county line regularly.
Schools
Families draw on the north Miami-Dade and Broward day schools, most of which involve a drive. If you are moving with school-age children, map the commute and confirm busing directly with each school before committing to a home.
Who it fits
Hallandale Beach suits professionals and families who want to be between Miami and Fort Lauderdale — commuting in either direction is realistic — with a compact, well-established observant community and lower costs than the beach communities to the south. It works best for people comfortable driving for schools and larger shopping.
