Commercial real estate Oakland Park, Broward County
Introduction to Oakland Park
In this post, we'll look at the quickly-developing city of Oakland Park with an eye towards its suitability as a candidate location for Commercial Real Estate Broward County.
Oakland Park, officially the City of Oakland Park, is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 41,363,[12] mainly due to annexation of North Andrews Gardens and Twin Lakes South. It is part of the Miami–Fort Lauderdale–Pompano Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area, which was home to 5,564,635 people at the 2010 census.
Originally named Floranada (a blend of Florida and Canada), the town was forced into bankruptcy after the hurricane of 1926. When the municipality reincorporated, residents chose to make it a city and voted for the name Oakland Park. The original boundaries went from the Atlantic Ocean, west to what is now U.S. 441, and from the north fork of Middle River north to Cypress Creek Boulevard, but when the boundaries were reestablished, it was to approximately the west side of U.S. 1, west to Northeast 3rd Avenue and the north fork of Middle River north to what is now Prospect Road. Over time, it has expanded to its current boundaries, mainly due to acquiring a few other areas, such as recent annexations of previously unincorporated neighborhoods of Twin Lakes South and North Andrews Gardens.[13]
Oakland Park has built a reputation by promoting a downtown culinary arts district which is quietly transforming the city. It is because of the success of this district that the retail corridors are gaining traction. The city offers affordable residential and commercial space, is minutes away from the ocean and is located in a major metropolitan area and its population is considered young and diverse.
The city has made great strides in preparing for growth with significant investment in infrastructure, identifying the retail gaps, branding its downtown and planning for its future growth. New zoning has been implemented to provide for residential mixed-use development.

What are Comparable Sales?
The market or direct sales comparison approach is a strategy to estimate the of value of a property. In this approach we undertake a process of comparing market data - that is, prices paid for similar properties, prices asked by owners, and offers made by prospective buyers or the tenants willing to buy or lease.
Typically a comparison grid is used and adjustments are made to each comparable sale used for major differences between the comparable and the subject property. These adjustments are made for factors like location, construction quality, and significant amenities. In this approach (the market/direct sales approach), the attempts are made to both gauge and reflect the anticipated reaction by a typical purchaser to the subject property.
Why Comparable Sales?
Taking the direct sales comparison approach can sometimes have beneficial outcomes for the estimated value of your property as compared to other appraisal strategies.
