Crystal Lake
Redevelopment allows a nice mix of homes
The more than 400 houses built on the former golf course are now part of the Veleiros at Crystal Lake community. People here are part of a homeowners association with a monthly fee of less than $300. There’s access to a clubhouse with a fitness center and pool, and some properties have a lake view. The homes are all from the late 2010s and early 2020s and are spacious, with five bedrooms and nearly 3,000 square feet. The price range is between $525,000 and $850,000. Outside of that community are homes that initially surrounded the golf course that were built from the 1960s through the ‘80s. Some of the older homes are part of a homeowners association, where the monthly fee is less than $100 a month, and residents have access to a fitness center. There are Minimal Traditional and ranch-style homes, some with Spanish influences, and prices range from $300,000 to $450,000. Part of the former golf course is also home to Fairway Memorial Gardens, where the space has been reimagined as a cemetery. There’s also a pet cemetery section.The other neighborhood attraction
Sailboat Lake, a big source of recreation in the neighborhood, dominates Crystal Lake’s southern and western parts. The lake spans 80 acres, and several condominium buildings along the lakefront allow residents to dock their boats or cast a line into the water. Condo residents also have additional amenities that come with their community, such as a pool and a fitness center. The homeowners association fee is around $400 a month. The units are two to three bedrooms with 1,000 to 1,500 square feet.B-plus rated school district
Public schools that serve the Crystal Lake neighborhood include those in the Broward County school district. Quiet Waters Elementary School is rated B-minus on Niche and has a 17-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Crystal Lake Middle School is a magnet school, and students have opportunities to join organizations like the debate club, which challenges students from other schools. The school has earned a C-plus on Niche. Blanche Ely High School is named after a Black educator whose career spanned over 70 years. The school is rated a C-plus on Niche. The Broward County School District is rated a B-plus overall.Tastes by the lake
One of the unique restaurants in the area is Marco's Top Burgers, a Brazilian-style burger joint that serves burgers with Brazilian beef. The atmosphere and vibe are authentic, as the employees will likely speak Portuguese. Juice 2U Organic Kitchen is a vegan restaurant with a bright interior. As the name implies, they specialize in juices and smoothies as well as a variety of sandwiches, salads and fruit bowls. A Costco is at the intersection of Sample and Powerline Roads for buying grocery items in bulk.Landfill and power plant to the west
A short drive west on Wiles Road is the Waste Management Monarch Hill Landfill, where residents can take their waste. Next door to that is the Wheelabrator North Broward waste-to-energy plant. The plant produces enough energy to power 39,000 households. The plant has been in operation since 1991.Commuting and public transportation convenience
Bus stops along Powerline Road and Sample Road can take customers in any direction through the Broward County Transit bus system. The Pompano Beach Tri-Rail commuter rail station is just over a mile away. The rail line heads south toward Fort Lauderdale and downtown Miami. For those who prefer traveling by car, Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 are less than 2 miles away.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
