All three are decent cities. Your choice will really depend on what is more important to you? schools, commute to work, age of houses, affordabilty, access to beach v/s suburbia? etc.

Generally speaking Coral Springs is probably your best bet since it has nice schools, newer homes, safer than the other 2 etc.

yes I agree w/what you are saying, I do like Coral Springs, it just seems like the houses are super expensive....I thought if I lived slightly and I mean slightly out of city limits I might get more for our money. I just wouldn't want to step out of bounds too much. We are planning our little one going to private school. But I know its better to live in a good public district too if private doesn't work out and if we buy a house, for equity purposes.

Check out Coconut Creek zip code 33073, you may get a bit more for your money, also in terms of age of house.

At the same time, do not hesitate to bid anywhere from 15% to 30% less than MLS wishing, I mean listing, price.

Hey thanks! That was also a question I had, how much how the listing price do you take at face value....of course thats what its listed as, but is that what it really will go for...

I kinda agree, now a days I advice my clients to bid 10% - 20% below the listing price..... of course the offer always depends upon the sales of comparable houses in the area.
