Parkland, Florida

Population: 13,835
Located in Broward County

This rustic equestrian town, tucked up in the piney woods of Broward County's northwest corner, with Palm Beach County to the north and the Everglades to the west, Parkland is a study in contrasts. You can find homes situated on multi-acre parcels of land with horse stalls in the back, as well as newly developed very upscale estate homes with manicured lawns and "Homes and Gardens" landscaping. It's a city whose character and inhabitants would seemingly be at odds, yet oddly enough aren't.

It's a forest town, and trees predominate on land formerly owned by large cattle ranchers. Parkland's main drag, Holmberg Road, is a two-lane blacktop whose 35 mph speed limit is strictly enforced by police with little other crime to pursue. The city consists of numerous multipurpose trails for horseback riding; A 5-acre park lighted with sports fields., a tot lot and horse corral; a 9.1 acre park with sports field lighting and other amenities; and a 7.5 acre equestrian center is now completed.


This unique city was incorporated in 1963. Its features are predominantly residential with a small portion zoned for commercial and industrial development. In the past sixteen years, the population grew from 500 to approximately 13,000 people.

In Parkland's western reaches is the Ranches, a neighborhood of large, old-time farm spreads where nearly everyone rides a horse. The seven square mile city is primarily residential - it has only two businesses - and city officials jealously safeguard Parkland's rural mystique. Indeed, city law prohibits any structure that doesn't reflect Parkland's "parklike' image.


Parkland's 13,000 residents, however, are anything but country folk. They live in homes with an average price tag of $422,200, and have 3.4 cars. This is an affluent community and it shows in the homes, that are set back from the road, many of them built on at least one acre, or more (to accommodate the horses!) and are newly built.

Schools here have met the challenge of raising the bar, and public schools offer a top-notch education with plenty of choices for the students to make, both now and in the future. Several parents have even commented that sending the kids to school is like sending them to private school, but without the school fees!

For the best of everything, education, climate, housing, and recreation, Parkland is it! Come and see us, you'll fall in love and never want to live anywhere else!
