More About Us
Beyond La Joya
Neighborhood & Local Details
La Joya Tropical Oasis is located in the South Middle River neighborhood of central Fort Lauderdale. Our neighborhood is locally famous for the wild peafowl that roam our streets and urban forests. South Middle River is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood comprised of long-time South Florida residents, members of the LBGTQ community, out of state transplants to Florida, as well as first-generation immigrants from the Caribbean and beyond.
La Joya is within biking distance to all the shops, restaurants and nightlife found along "The Drive" in Wilton Manors. A walk to Wilton Manors would take approximately 30 minutes. Guests can certainly take advantage of La Joya's central location. The azure blue waters of our world-class beaches can be found approximately 4 miles to the east. Access to I-95 lies roughly 2 miles to the northwest. Wilton Manors is approximately 1.5 miles to the northeast. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Int'l Airport (FLL) is approximately 20 minutes to the south.
Among the highlights of the area is our new (as of 2018) passenger rail service connecting South Florida to Orlando Int'l Airport (MCO). Brightline's higher-speed train station for downtown Fort Lauderdale is located only 2 miles to the south, which is only a very quick ride away by Uber or Lyft. As a side note - Brightline is an excellent way to travel between the downtowns of Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Miami. The new Brightline extension also connects metropolitan South Florida to the Orlando area. Except for the Acela train which connects D.C. to Boston, Brightline is the only higher-speed train on the East Coast - it reaches speeds of over 100 mph.
