45 minute commute to 8th street in Miami? What time do you commute at? You must leave at 5AM. Any time much after 6AM this commute would take closer to an hour and a half. And depends how far on 8th street you need to go from the interstate.

Not far from the interstate, its on the west side, and I take interstate 27 then Krome Avenue. Unless I miscalculated the drive since I only did it twice and both times came in at roughly 45 to 50 minutes.

You're relying on a lot of luck then. One little fender bender and you're looking a an hour and 30 minutes easily. Traffic to Miami is horrid. I avoid it as much as possible.

Hello everyone. New to this forum and wanted to get insight on people familiar with the area. I'm new to Florida and recently wanting to purchase a house in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. I have been looking at properties everywhere and have found a new development community that's building homes on Commercial BLVD and next to the Turnpike in Tamarac. Its called Central Parc being built by 13thfloor homes. The pricing is currently set at $289,000 for a brand new Construction which is extraordinarily a great price in my opinion compared to the other homes I've seen in Pembroke pines, Weston, Miramar ETC and other nice areas. I work in Miami off of 8th street on the west side and have clocked in the commute at 45 minutes which I wont mind.


My question Is Commercial BLVD and the turnpike (where they will be building in Tamarac) a good area to raise my family at and eventually settle down in that area? Don't know if things are changing in Tamarac and if home prices are in the up and coming there. Would like to know peoples personal experience with that exact area and if I'm making the right decision in buying this home to raise my family. It seems that everything in Miami Dade and Broward county has ridiculously gone up in pricing regarding homes. Rent now a days for a nice 3/2 home is in the $2000s and I'm better off investing in a home. I really love Pembroke pines area, but I cannot justify buying a home for the $290s range that's an older smaller home, where I can buy this home in Tamarac at the same price and its brand new. If not a nice area, will this home be at least a good investment considering the great price and the area in the future?


All opinions are welcome and I appreciate any feedback on this area of Commercial BLVD and the Turnpike in Tamarac.


Thank You.
Don't.

Familiar with the area.

Not the best, I am picky thought.

Traffic is THE WORST, and Florida traffic is already bad.

Schools suck too

Is this your thing? Just troll all the threads and tell everyone not to move here because you have a sad life?

Just saw this thread. I have driven past this development, and I always think....

"What's with building the homes so close together?" I mean, might as well get a townhouse....

Yeah i get your point, but townhomes cost roughly the same as these homes. So which would you pick?
