Academy Award
A quiet Fort Lauderdale pocket that trades on scarcity
Academy Award is a small, low-key residential enclave in Fort Lauderdale, the kind of place where turnover is slow and neighbors tend to stay put. It sits within easy reach of the bigger-name destinations that define the city — from Central Beach and the Galt Mile to the tree-lined streets of Victoria Park — while keeping a more modest, everyday character of its own. Families here are drawn in part by the assigned schools, including Nova Blanche Forman Elementary and the well-regarded College Academy At Broward College.
For a buyer today, the headline is scarcity: there are no active listings on the market right now, so this is a neighborhood you watch rather than shop. Over the past 12 months just 4 homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $394,500, and sellers walked away with about 98% of their asking price. That combination — thin supply and firm pricing — means when something does list, you'll want to be ready to move.

Straight answers
Academy Award FAQs
Is Academy Award a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, established residential neighborhood with very low turnover, which usually points to residents who are happy to stay. The assigned schools — including Nova Blanche Forman Elementary — add to its appeal for families, and you're a short drive from the beach and downtown.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Compared with waterfront-heavy pockets of Fort Lauderdale, no — the median sold price over the last year was $394,500. That puts Academy Award at a more attainable level than areas like the Galt Mile, while still keeping you close to the same amenities.
What do homes cost in Academy Award?+
Recent activity centered on a median sold price of $394,500 across the 4 homes that closed in the past 12 months. There are no active listings right now, so pricing on the next home will depend heavily on its condition and timing.
How is the market right now?+
It's supply-constrained: zero active listings and just 4 sales in the past year. Sellers have been getting about 98% of asking, so the next home to hit the market is likely to move quickly — watching the live map is the smartest way to stay ahead of it.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
We don't have current HOA or property-tax figures on file for Academy Award, largely because there's no active inventory to pull them from. When a home lists, we can confirm the exact carrying costs for that property before you write an offer.
