"Located on Southlake"

North Southlake Drive is located directly waterfront to South Lake. Mostly residential, it is a beautiful area, especially since it is water front. The homes are however quite expensive, my guess is because the Atlantic beaches are so close. There aren't many places to eat and shop, but downtown Hollywood is only a few miles away. All and all, its a great place to live.

"A Quiet Community"

Van Buren St. seems to be the most quiet residential area in Hollywood. I think it is absolutely perfect for older people looking to retire in this town. Its close to the beach, shops, and restaurants, but far enough away so that you don't see traffic and a bunch of people. When i was here, It seemed great, and everyone took exceptional care of their lawns and homes. Happy house hunting!

"Avoid this place at all costs."

Young Circle is basically what it is. It is a huge traffic circle in the middle of Downtown Hollywood. Its hard to avoid, but you can find other streets to use. During high traffic hours, it can take a while to get through, and takes up a lot of time. In the middle of the traffic circle is Anniversary Park, almost impossible to get too when you have to cross a road with tons of traffic. Its not even worth going to, its the most boring and ugliest park I've ever visited.

"Very Busy Little Street"

North Dixie Highway is a very busy highway that runs through Hollywood, FL. I used this highway a lot when I visited here and it was busy mostly all the time, even late at night. Overrun with tourists, I'd say avoid this street if you can, and take an alternative route. It will save you alot of time and frustration. But however if your looking for something to do other than the beach, this is the place to go.

"Best Residential Street"

Polk Street is the place to go if you are looking for a place to live, or rent for vacation in Hollywood FL. The street goes all through the city of Hollywood, and passes right by the notorious Hollywood Country Club. Polk Street ends directly on the white sandy beaches on the Atlantic. Mostly residential street it is, but there are also a lot of places to go to eat and shop. Its one of the better streets in Hollywood!

"Ritzy Diplomatic Parkway"

Diplomatic Parkway seems to be one of the ritziest streets located in Hollywood, FL. Lined with tall palm trees and beautiful flowers, it takes you right by the Diplomat Country Club. Stop by there for some seriously great golfing on their beautiful waterfront courses on the lake. In my opinion, its one of the better places in Hollywood to spend a day with your significant other to play some really good golf.

"Golfers Heaven on Three Islands Boulevard"

Three Islands Blvd. is basically it. Connected by small bridges, this street comprises of three islands. Mostly all of the three islands is all residential but the homes are absolutely top notch and a perfect place to buy a home if you like being by the beach. It was water front to lakes, and only about a mile or two from the beaches in Hollywood. One of the islands is also a huge golf course, with a country club. No wonder they say Florida is the golfers capital of the world.

"The Most Beautiful Place In Hollywood"

S Ocean Blvd, is located directly located on the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic. The water is a beautiful blue and there are tons of things to do. Lined with hotels, restaurants, and little beach shops, you can never become bored. This is a great place to spend the day with family, or the place to spend your entire vacation when traveling to the beach. However, it becomes busy at times to be careful to watch for families crossing the road.

There are many other alternative streets that can take you to the beach.

S Northlake Drive is located directly on Northlake waterfront property. It's about a mile or two from the beaches of the Atlantic which is wonderful if your a beach bum like me.

Pinellas Bayway is a beautiful street, that takes you all through the most beautiful places in St. Petersburg. There are alot of bridges, and on a sunny day makes for a great ride in the car with a pet, or a loved one. This was my most favorite street when I used to visit the area, and still is because of all the beautiful sights you see.

"Great place to take friends and family!"

3rd St. South is a busy little street. There is so much to do. It runs along alot of residential streets, but there are alot of places to shop and eat. At the end, there is the water which has a small beach you could take your family if you are interested in the bay, rather than the gulf. Also located here is poynter park which is a great place to take the kids.

"Family Friendly Street!"

Dunmore Ave S. is located in a mostly residential area and goes right along campbell park. I think this is a great place to raise a family and for children to run around in such a safe enviornment. Major highways are also nearby, so food and shopping malls are very close, and not far like other cities that are located in Florida.

"Beautiful Views on Mirabella Court"

"Nice place to spend time with family"

Constitution Avenue is packed with things to do. The most popular place to go is definately the Smithsonian. There are a lot of muesems and the botanical gardens which is really cool. There are alot of places to eat, and a good place to shop for the day. Beware of traffic on the weekends, and things can turn expensive really fast.

This street is strictly residential. This makes it really nice and quiet. The homes are kept up very well and aren't really expensive like across town. Really nice place to start a family, or move in for a new couple. Nightlife and fun is only minutes away but you would never think that since its so quiet. Consider a home in this area!

"Really nice street in D.C."

This street is extremely well maintained. When driving down it you pass alot of embassys that have a really cool structural shape. They are cool to look at. The street is very clean and is lined with shops, office buildings, and places to eat. It's really nice and makes up for all the bad parts in D.C. Try to go to Qdobas, its like chipotle and is delicious!

"Not a very nice place."

This street for the most part is very run down and dirty. Its congested traffic wise, and its just not a very nice sight. Most homes are run down and some look as if they've been abandoned. If your looking to buy a home in Washington D.C. this is definately not the place to do it. Try south carolina ave instead! Its a much nicer residential street.

"Beat the traffic on this road"

If you commute to D.C. this is the road to take to beat all the contested streets on your way. It goes right through the city and is very scenic. There aren't many buildings on it, and it runs right along the potomac for most of the way which is a pretty nice site to see in the day time. I take this road all the time to the airport which, makes the drive much much easier.

"Very Family Friendly and Cool Street"

This street is one of my favorites, and is pretty fun. Almost every museum is located on this strip (about 10). My favorite part is that you go right past the washington monument which is absolutely huge and pretty cool. Before 9/11 you used to be able to go up to the top of it, but I'm not sure about it anymore. Family friendly street! Probably not the best place to live.

"Nice place to go"

This is another historical district in Washington D.C. It is full of shopping and many festivals and fairs. There are so many things to do there and families and couples would really enjoy it. At the end of Connecticut you run into dupoint circle, which is pretty bad with traffic but is also really really nice to spend the day in.

This is the street that the new stadium is located on, so its recently got a huge makeover. It used to be very run down and trashy but its in progress of turning around.

I really really really like this street. It runs along parks, neighborhoods, and small businesses and restaurants. The only downfall is that at the end of it is placed right beside a major highway so that might be bad if you plan on living here or visiting.

This is a pretty nice place, but during traffic hours it's a no-no. There are alot of nice places to go and even some historical buildings.

This street isn't all its cracked up to be. Sure its close to Lincoln Park which is great, but the homes aren't very nice. They all seem old and haven't been kept up at all.

Hudson street is what I call a very family friendly place to go. It is lined with numerous parks and recreational things to do outdoors. Elysian Park is a pretty neat place to go if you want to be outside, but bring things to do because of the lack of equipment to play on and do things with the family. Nice place to walk your dog.
