Anyone who has ever read a Dickens’ novel, has endured the bleak of the cold and dreary climate of 19th century London. This year our nation’s winter has mirrored a Dickens’ classic.

Favorable conditions exists for all buyers in this tropical paradise. In Weston, Florida, a planned urban development in the Fort Lauderdale area, there are currently 781 single family  homes and 502 condos, villas and townhomes available for sale. This city boasts 22,671 households with an average of 4 persons per home and 80% are owner occupied. Weston became a city in 1996 and has quite a healthy business district as well as a dense residential component.
