Fort Lauderdale has long been a favorite destination for travelers across the world. From the mid to late 20th century, it was one of the most famous spring break destinations in the world, prompting a change in city ordinances to deter the unruly tourists who were destroying the beautiful city. Modern Fort Lauderdale is still a popular spot, but it now attracts a new crowd of better-behaved visitors that have more respect for the inherent beauty that makes Fort Lauderdale unique.

Tourism has always been important to the area, but the locals know that it is even more rewarding to live in this splendor than it is to visit. With an average annual temperature of 75 degrees, it's almost always the perfect climate. And if you ever get tired of hanging out on Las Olas Boulevard, you can always take a short drive to Miami. But really, what has Miami got that Fort Lauderdale doesn't?

With over tens of millions of visitors a year, Fort Lauderdale depends on tourists for the economy, and while the business is appreciated, the vast numbers of people passing through the area can sometimes be a concern for local residents. Fortunately, ADT offers many services in the area that can help you feel safer about your property whether you're out sunning on Hallandale Beach, boating around Pompano, or having a night at American Social.
