Things move slightly slower in Deerfield Beach, a Broward County city named after the herds of deer that once roamed the area. The Highland Meadows community illustrates this well, comprising subdivisions catering to the 55-plus crowd. Gated communities filled with manufactured homes offer residents a laid-back, resort-style lifestyle, with clubhouses, bocce courts and swimming pools as common amenities. Residents have easy access to quality health care, with the 409-bed Broward Health North located just minutes south of the neighborhood. The hospital offers full continuum care with a comprehensive stroke center, an adult level II trauma center, a neurological institute, a joint replacement center, cardiovascular services and more. There's also a major employer just a few minutes north of the community, Publix Distribution Center, which employs about 1,000 people.

Manufactured homes with resort-style amenties
The manufactured homes of Highland Meadows are well-maintained and often renovated before they go on the market. It's not unusual to see newly laid wooden floors, new bathroom tilework, kitchens with new appliances and laundry rooms to attract buyers. Carports are often a special bonus, and homeowners will then add their own personal touches, like gardens or paved patios. Highland Meadows homes range in size from a modest 800-square-foot dwelling to a full-sized, 1,500-square-foot residence that rivals single-family homes with its number of bedrooms and baths. Since purchasing a manufactured home includes the land it sits on, HOA fees are kept low. "Land rental can get into the 800s in traditional mobile home parks," says Lorena Martin, a realtor with True Oak Realty. "In Highland Meadows, fees are around $100 because you own the land and only pay for amenities." Community pools, clubhouses, bocce ball courts, shuffleboard courts and tennis courts in the neighborhood are located along a central lake that divides the Highland Meadows subdivision from its neighbor, Country Knolls, which also sits in the Highland Meadows neighborhood—not to be confused with the subdivision it's named after. The neighborhood's midcentury modern homes and ramblers range from $67,000 to $310,000.

The Pastor Willie James Ford Sr. Linear Park is just a bit further east and runs along SW 10th Street.

The Tivol Sand Pine Preserve is just across the street from the linear park and spans 25 acres. Locals can explore its paved trails, looking out for the endangered gopher tortoise. Ecidar Park is the closest to Highland Meadows, a small green space offering tennis courts and a walking path. Residents also benefit from living just six miles from the Atlantic coast.

The International Fishing Per is right there, too, a highly photographed landmark where many locals try their luck at fishing. West of the neighborhood is the Arboretum at Constitution Park. This nine-acre "tree zoo" features over 200 exotic trees from five continents.
