Introduction

Located in Broward County, Florida, Lighthouse Point is a small, self sufficient, affluent town of just over 11,000 residents.  Named for the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, which has stood constant guard over the Hillsboro inlet since 1906, the quite, tree shaded community is nestled between several other communities and therefore self-contained and unable to expand. This suits its residents just fine - the leisurely lifestyle of the small city is appealing, and the city is proactively maintaining its city certification to prevent being annexed into a neighboring entity.
