About
Life in Hallandale Beach
If you're considering Hallandale Beach, understand that you're looking at a mature, diverse urban community that happens to have gaming and horse racing at its center—not a retirement or tourist destination masquerading as a place to live. The median age is about 47, and nearly a quarter of residents are 65 or older, so there's a substantial retiree population, but younger families and working professionals do live here too. The job market is solid with a 3.8% unemployment rate, and the downtown financial district provides local employment beyond tourism.
