Top 5 Reasons to Live in The Landings
The Landings have much to offer, here’s a list of our 5 favorite things about the waterfront community
1. Every Single Home is a Waterfront Home
An all waterfront community drives up the value of the homes while at the same time, the fact that this community is north of Commercial Blvd. keeps the prices a little lower. The Result: Homes here are a FANTASTIC VALUE.
2. Walk to the LBS Pier, Restaurants, Live Music, Shopping and of course, the Beach!
Proximity to the beach, all the dining and entertainment in charming Old Florida town, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, plus Kaluz – oh, and did we mention our favorites:
3. Waterfront, Waterfront, Waterfront…. means…
You can take your boat anywhere. Cruise to a restaurant for dinner, to a sandbar for the afternoon or to the Bimini for the weekend. The boat life here is the real deal. Live it up!
4. Play Golf or Tennis? Have Kids? Love to Socialize?
Just skip south of Commercial Boulevard and you’ll run into one of the best little secrets east of US-1, Coral Ridge Country Club. With 18 championship holes designed by Robert Trent Jones, the Rees 9 course, 12 tennis courts, a pool, playground, kids club and fantastic dining, there is a sense of community here that feels like family.

Virgin Trains USA Is Adding A Leg To Its Route
A 37 mile leg between Orlando International Airport and Cocoa Beach is now under construction
It’s past the approval, permitting and debate stage.
There’s actual equipment out on the sides of State Road 528 moving earth and preparing the foundation for a new leg of the Virgin Trains USA Florida route.
Previously known as Brightline and, before that, as All Aboard Florida – Virgin Trains USA is the first steps of a high speed rail that upon completion will connect Miami to Orlando, and maybe beyond.
“It’s like winning the Super Bowl or something, to get under construction. It’s hugely gratifying to see earth moving and physical construction underway,” Michael Cegelis said.
Planning for the Cocoa-to-Orlando route is aided in part because the Central Florida Expressway Authority and Greater Orlando Aviation Authority have hoped, for more than a decade — since before the Virgin Trains USA plan was proposed — that some sort of passenger railroad would take that route. So the airport already has a train station and some railroad infrastructure. It already has one interchange that was designed and built with room for a railroad to pass through it all.
