Is Fort Lauderdale safe?
Generally, yes. But just live everywhere you go, and even in your own house, you need to take caution. Vehicle-related crimes are typically present, so always remember to keep your car windows closed and see that the doors are locked. Never let your important belongings out of sight.
If you’re a woman, it’s better to be out at nighttime in groups. The streets can be a bit wild after dark so stay aware of your surroundings.
Be vigilant, especially if you’re wandering through the southwestern, northwestern, and western portions of Fort Lauderdale.
