Hollywood FL Pool Home For Rent – 6980 Scott St in Driftwood Acres

Property address: 6980 Scott St #0, Hollywood, FL 33024-3840 | Represented by The Listing Team at RESF, 2440 E Commercial Blvd, Suite 2, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308

Not every rental in Hollywood gives you the combination of a private pool, a fenced yard, a circular driveway, and an efficiency 1/1 included in the lease. This single family home at 6980 Scott St in Driftwood Acres delivers all of that, plus updated interior finishes and a layout that works for real life.

The property is currently listed as a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home with an additional efficiency space, offered as an annual rental by The Listing Team at RESF. With a lot size of about 7,208 square feet, a pool, and dedicated outdoor areas, it offers a very different feel than a typical apartment or townhome.

Location – Driftwood Acres in central Hollywood

Driftwood Acres is a well established pocket of Hollywood, Florida, located in the Hollywood Central geo area. The neighborhood gives you a classic single family setting with quick access to major routes and everyday conveniences.

According to the MLS details, the subdivision is DRIFTWOOD ACRES NO 20 and the property falls within the school zones for Sheridan Park Elementary, Driftwood Middle, and McArthur High. That is an attractive setup for renters who want school options nearby without long commutes.

You are a short drive from shopping, dining, and services throughout Hollywood and the surrounding Broward County communities. If you are comparing neighborhoods, you can also look at nearby areas on Hollywood homes for sale and rent , as well as Pembroke Pines and Plantation to understand how this home fits into the broader market.

Interior layout – 3BD/2BA plus an efficiency 1/1

The home is listed as a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom single family residence with an efficiency 1/1 included. That gives you a flexible layout that can support a variety of living arrangements – whether you need a traditional three bedroom setup or want one of the spaces to function as a separate work from home area, guest zone, or extended family space.

Inside, you will find ceramic flooring, central air conditioning, and an updated kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher. A converted garage adds bonus square footage that can be used for storage, a den, or another functional space depending on your needs.

With approximately 1,125 square feet of living area (per tax records), the home is efficient yet livable. The layout is designed to make everyday living straightforward instead of forcing you to work around awkward room sizes or traffic patterns.

Private pool, fenced yard, and circular drive

Outdoor space is one of the biggest reasons people look for a single family rental in Hollywood instead of staying in an apartment building. This property delivers that with a below ground private pool, a fenced yard, and a circular driveway that makes parking and coming and going much easier.

The lot is classified as 1/4 to less than 1/2 acre, which gives you room for outdoor furniture, a grill, and space for kids or pets to move around. Whether you are hosting casual weekend get togethers or just relaxing by the pool after work, the outdoor layout is a major part of the value here.

According to the listing remarks, lawn and pool maintenance are included in the rent, which means you get the benefit of the outdoor amenities without needing to coordinate separate service providers on your own.

Parking and construction details

Parking will not be an issue at 6980 Scott St. The MLS notes a circular drive and an attached carport that can accommodate multiple vehicles (up to six, per the listing details). That is a noticeable advantage compared to homes that only offer street parking or a narrow single driveway.

The home is described as a first floor entry design with concrete block construction and a shingle roof, built around 1962. These are common characteristics for well established Hollywood neighborhoods and can provide a solid, familiar feel for long term residents.

Lease terms, move-in costs, and pet policy

The listing is structured as an annual single family rental under the R60-Single Family-Annual style. The move in cost is indicated at approximately $11,100, which typically reflects a first month, last month, and security deposit combination. There is no HOA approval required, which can shorten the timeline from application to move in.

The MLS notes that tenant pays utilities, while lawn and pool care are included. There is a pet friendly policy with a nonrefundable pet fee of about $300 and some possible restrictions. If you have a specific pet, it is always best to discuss details upfront so there are no surprises.

The home sits in a flood zone identified as AE/X in the listing data, and flood insurance is required for the property owner. Renters should consider whether a renter’s insurance policy is appropriate for their personal belongings.

Who this Hollywood rental works best for
