Sunset sits within Fort Lauderdale as a quiet, established residential pocket where families settle in for the long haul.

Nearby communities such as Plantation Acres and Gingerwood Place give the area its neighborly, low-key texture.
For buyers today, this is a thin, patient market: just 6 active listings with a median list price of $535,000, and homes taking a median 86.5 days to sell.
