A quiet residential neighborhood outside Coral Springs

Near highly rated Broward County Public Schools and several nature preserves and parks, The Dells neighborhood gives residents a quiet haven 3 miles east of the growing Coral Springs area. “Given the current environment where South Florida housing continues to become more desirable and more expensive to own, there are key pockets that continue to be affordable and desirable to live in. Coral Springs is one of those locations in sunny South Florida,” says Joe McFarlane, a real estate professional who has been a resident of South Florida for twenty years. Joe and Sil McFarlane own a real estate brokerage in South Florida and the YouTube channel @JoeandSil, where they talk about living in South Florida. The Dells' homes are often designed in Spanish and Mediterranean styles and generally have three or more bedrooms. The Dells students attend Broward County Public Schools, with a few options within walking and biking distance nearby.

Spanish and Mediterranean ranch-style homes

“The Dells isn’t a gated community, so there’s no HOA. It was built back in the 1970s, so some of the homes may need to have a few things replaced,” McFarlane says. Condos and duplexes can be found around town near Spanish and Mediterranean-style ranch-style homes with private pools. Three bedrooms and a two-car garage can cost upwards of $450,000, while dwellings with four or more bedrooms can cost over $550,000. “Overall, prices, rental rates and taxes are lower in Coral Springs than they are when compared to neighboring cities like Parkland and Boca Raton. Because of this, there are many opportunities to acquire real estate in Coral Springs at an affordable price,” McFarlane says.
