Poinsettia Heights is a neighborhood in the northeast section of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and its boundaries are west of Federal Highway, north of Sunrise Boulevard and adjacent to the neighborhoods of Lake Ridge and Middle River Terrace. The original development, called "North Ridge," was built by Gill Construction Company right after World War II in the 1940s and early 1950s. Today homes line the streets from 15th Avenue on the west to 20th Avenue and Lake Melva on the east.
