Walkable, welcoming, and full of personality. South Florida's most vibrant neighborhood.
Tucked between Fort Lauderdale and Oakland Park, Wilton Manors is a small city with a big personality. The Drive, Wilton Drive, runs through the heart of it, lined with restaurants, bars, and cafés you can stroll between in flip-flops. It's known across South Florida as one of the most inclusive, walkable, and welcoming places to stay, and it's the reason most of our guests fall in love with the area on day one.
Whether you're here for the nightlife, a relaxed pool-home getaway, or just a quiet base close to the beach, Wilton Manors gives you the best of both worlds: small-town walkability with Fort Lauderdale's beach, downtown, and airport all just minutes away.
Wilton Drive is the main artery, and almost everything below is within a 1–10 minute walk from our properties. This is what makes Wilton Manors a true “leave the car parked” neighborhood.
Almost everywhere you want to be in Fort Lauderdale is 10–15 minutes by car or Uber.
When you want to stretch your legs beyond Wilton Manors, these are worth the drive.
“If it's your first night in town, grab dinner at Apt F or Tulio's Tacos, then walk down Wilton Drive for a nightcap at George's Alibi. That's the whole Wilton Manors experience in one evening. And you don't need a car for any of it.”
