The Dells
Suburban Neighborhood in Coral Springs, Florida
Broward County 33065
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.

There are three small parks bordering The Dells. Pride Promoters Park is a few blocks down the road and includes a semi-fenced playground and basketball court. Lion’s Park on the southwest side of The Dells offers a playground and baseball field, as well as a sand volleyball court. Paul Barre Memorial Rotary Park sits near a few drainage ponds that attract local bird species. This park also includes a small playground and sand volleyball. For a quick breath of fresh air, the Sandy Ridge Sanctuary is 1 mile west and includes a playground and walking trails. Visitors can catch sight of several plant and animal species as they traverse the preserve.

“Another benefit of living here is that we are beginning a major commercial development and update in the city.
