Property tax · $260/mo 0.94% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Broward County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $357/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Dania Beach is a city in Broward County with a middle-aged population and household incomes well below the county's. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than across much of the country, so renting is common. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year and no real snow to speak of.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Dania Beach are the Dania Entertainment Center, Brightview and Uniweld Products. Commutes run on the long side, and a share of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away are Hard Rock Stadium, a large stadium, and the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. The New River, also a short drive off, offers a place to get out on the water. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a botanical garden, is a longer drive.
