Only two square miles in size, Wilton Manors’ Broward County location between Fort Lauderdale and Oakland Park make it a convenient choice for commuters. Called the “Island City,” Wilton Manors is bordered by the north and south forks of the Middle River. The city’s small size may contribute to its dedication for becoming a “sustainable urban village.” Economic revitalization and a downtown emphasis on the arts and entertainment combine with picturesque riverfront parks and open public spaces to make Wilton Manors a city of beauty.
