People living or have lived in South Florida: Help

Wife and I are moving there soon. Trying to figure out some neighborhoods to consider buying a house. I’ve used trulia and different crime maps, but they seem inconsistent.
We want to be less than 30 minutes from the beach and walking/bike/cheap Uber to local fare and bars. Safety is a primary concern.
Areas considering are:
Oakland Park
Hollywood- farthest south we want to go
Sunrise- absolute farthest west we want to go
Pompano- farthest north we want to go
Fort Lauderdale
Yes, I’m gonna become the next “Florida man.”
Thanks in advance

Wouldn't live in Broward County for all the tea in China.

Friend of mine is on the Hollywood FL PD swat team. He’s been down there about 10 years so I guess he knows the area well.
He built his house in Pembroke Pines.
ETA: As another poster said, learn Spanish.

I live down here for work, but not a fan of any of the places you mentioned.

The wife has a job in FLL and we want to be near it.

Some of my LSU friends moved to Hollywood and they love it. Be prepared for yard work 12 months a year.

Tell me more about it. Any particular areas?

I lived in Pompano Beach in the early 80's and it has gone wayyy downhill since then (it never was great-but Patrick Peterson is from there-yey). I loved Lighthouse Point, but couldn't afford it. Plantation used to be a good area, but my info is too dated now. Good luck.

Oakland Park - NO
Sunrise- NO
I lived down there for 8 years. Based on what you laid out, I would look at Coral Springs, Coconut Creek or Pembroke Pines.

Why No to these two?

Main thing: decide if you actually want to make going to the beach a regular thing. If so, you need to live AT the beach. 30 minutes might sound close if you’re coming from somewhere land locked, but trust me you ain’t going to the beach often if ever living 30 minutes away.

I live in West Palm. Jupiter is the tits. You couldn’t pay me to live in Broward County.
