Hello,

I am moving to Broward County in a few months and I am currently looking at homes for sale on the market. I would like to get a house in a gated community (manned gate) with a nice sized lot, at least half an acre, hopefully bigger. I don't want to live too far out west because that will make my commute to work too long, so around Flamingo Road is probably my limit as to how far west I would go. I also don't want to live too far north, or south - I would like the house to be somewhere between Sunrise Blvd and Stirling Road. There are a couple of nice gated communities in Plantation, but the lots are generally smaller - under 1/3rd of an acre. There are some nice gated communities in Davie with big lots, but they are mostly under the main Fort Lauderdale Airport arrival flight path, and I don't want loud planes passing overhead frequently when I am hanging out in my back yard. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find the house I am looking for?

Thanks,
Norman

Weston. The new express lanes on I-595 will make for a quick commute to Fort Lauderdale (or the beach for that matter).

Look at Windmill Lakes or Windmill Reserve.

Planes are still high enough above Weston, you can hear them a little, but not bad at all.

Davie has great communities with large lots. The three Long Lakes have great amenities and have manned gates. Mystique is gated. There is also Stonebrook, Northstar, and Blackhawk Ranches. I live in the area and would be glad to answer questions on any of them.
