Nestled on approximately 10 acres of prime real estate, Wilton Station is perfectly located in the heart of Wilton Manors at Five Points. One of South Florida's most vibrant up and coming neighborhoods, Wilton Manors is just minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale Fort Lauderdale (lô`dərdāl), residential, commercial, and resort city (1990 pop. 149,377), seat of Broward co., SE Fla., on the Atlantic coast; settled around a fort built (c.1837) in the Seminole War, inc. 1911.  and its beachfront beach·front

Wilton Manors is where opposites blend to form one of the quaintest cities in the Fort Lauderdale area. Also known as the Island City, Wilton Manors has a small-town feel, but is just moments from the conveniences of a big city. The people who live in Wilton Manors are friendly and some of the most sophisticated in the Fort Lauderdale area. Diversity is the keystone upon which this gay-friendly city was built.

Having researched the market carefully, Wilton Station LLC developers have planned a mixed-use thriving village, complete with top-drawer residential amenities and on-site boutique retailers. Because Broward County has the nation's second largest number of gay households (second only to San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden ), the gay market was given a significant presence in the research. The result is a community that suits open-minded urban professionals of all backgrounds.

Wilton Station's signature clock tower and architecture are just the beginning of this sophisticated village. Wilton Station provides residents a level of luxury resort-style living simply not otherwise available in the area. And with luxury in mind, it is no wonder amenities play such an important role. Everything is designed around the idea of making it easy for people to be out and about in their own community.

Wilton Station offers residents a world of shopping and dining options within a short walk including popular local restaurants, a grocery store, a drug store, entertainment attractions and other everyday conveniences. But location is only one of the attractive qualities that have been carefully crafted into Wilton Station.
