The Bottom Line on Wilton Manors
Wilton Manors is a small island city of about two square miles just north of Fort Lauderdale, wrapped by the Middle River and its forks.

Wilton Manors is a softening housing market with shrinking inventory, and its commercial property trades at a discount to the rest of Broward County, with almost no distress.

Wilton Manors’ commercial property is small and local: restaurant and bar buildings on Wilton Drive, neighborhood retail and service buildings on Andrews Avenue, and a few light industrial and flex buildings along Dixie Highway and the railroad. Wilton Drive space is tightly held and trades on its foot traffic, while parking and liquor licensing often decide what a building can be used for.
Wilton Manors has about 2 million square feet of commercial buildings and recorded 13 arm's-length sales at a median $289 per square foot, below the county's $322. There were no distress transfers or bank-held parcels on the roll.
On Wilton Drive, the parking and the license matter as much as the building. Before you buy or lease restaurant or bar space here, confirm the parking count and what the zoning and liquor rules allow, because that is what a tenant is really paying for.
