North Dixie Hwy, Pompano Beach

Dixie Highway runs through the lower class areas that occupy the west end of Pompano. It runs parallel to train tracks on the west side. Most of the neighborhoods it passes contain original houses built earlier in the century (20th century that is). These neighborhoods are not very well maintained and appear to house the low income households of Pompano. Aside from run down neighborhoods, Dixie also houses many junk yards and ware houses. Pawn shops, private businesses such as law offices and manufacturing businesses are also along this street. The road itself is not very well taken care of and even the street lights and traffic signals are not renovated along with the rest of the city. All in all, I would not move here and even try avoiding having to go anywhere near this road.
