Emerald Hills
Suburban Neighborhood in Hollywood, Florida
Broward County 33021
Golf course homes are prominent among the luxury options
Golf course homes are prominent, and much like the course itself are found throughout the neighborhood. Homes along a canal that runs through a portion of the neighborhood offer another high-value option. Several homes of differing sizes and styles can be found, typically priced from the mid-$500,000s to about $900,00. A collection of ranch-style homes on spacious, sidewalk-adjacent lots is generally priced between $1.1 million and $1.7 million. A few estate-style homes can be found in select locations, and they are priced between $2 million and $4 million. Condos and townhouses featuring resort-style amenities range in price from the low $200,000s to the high $600,000s. Monthly HOA fees range from $225 to $900-plus. While flooding is often an issue with Hollywood neighborhoods, Burns describes Emerald Hills as “high and dry,” meaning residents enjoy relative elevation and added protection during hurricane season.The Club at Emerald Hills, TY Park are featured recreational attractions
Known for its meticulously maintained rolling terrain, The Club at Emerald Hills’ 18-hole layout stretches for more than 7,800 yards, with water hazards and more than 40 bunkers providing a unique challenge. The course, which has made Golf Digest’s list of “Best Places to Play,” has hosted several qualifying events for major championships as well as local LPGA events. The semi-private club includes a full-service pro shop and practice facilities. Nature and recreation combine at Topeekeegee Yugnee Park, known to locals as TY Park. It is anchored by a popular lagoon, and a seasonal water park is a featured attraction. Additional amenities include basketball, tennis and volleyball courts, a paved path for walkers and cyclists and a campground area. “It’s really an asset to the neighborhood,” Burns says. Emerald Hills also is conveniently located within 5 miles of the city’s oceanfront. Hollywood Beach stretches for several miles along the Atlantic Coast.

Educational options include public, private schools
Stirling Elementary School and Hollywood Hills High School, both rated C-plus by Niche, are located in the neighborhood. Nearby Attucks Middle School is rated B-minus. Preschool and kindergarten students can attend Emerald Hills School, another neighborhood learning facility. Sheridan Hills Christian School and The Jewish Academy offer private K-12 alternatives. The former is built around Sheridan Hills Baptist Church, and the latter shares a campus with Temple Solel, one of two surrounding Jewish worship centers. “The neighborhood is within walking distance of the synagogues, which is paramount in Emerald Hills.”

Spring Marshmallow Drop a community highlight
The city of Hollywood organizes a variety of community events throughout the year, including celebrations for St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day. As an oceanfront city, activities such as the Cardboard Boat Race and the Kids Fishing Tournament are also part of residents’ event calendar. Seasonal socials include the Spring Marshmallow Drop, an event hosted by the Boulevard Heights Community Center. The unique event culminates with 30,000 marshmallows being dropped from a helicopter into a crowd of excited children ready to collect them.
Easy access to travel by bus, train and car
Public transportation is also conveniently located. Broward County Transit buses run regularly along the roadways surrounding the neighborhood. Residents can walk to the Sheridan Street commuter rail station just outside the neighborhood. The rail line provides travel north to Fort Lauderdale and south to Miami, as does Interstate 95, which is located just blocks away. Sheridan Street, which forms the southern edge of the neighborhood, provides direct access to Hollywood Beach and the city’s famed oceanfront “Broadwalk.” Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is within 10 miles of the neighborhood.
Large neighborhood retailer, nearby Kosher market
Retail stores and dining destinations are easily accessible. Publix anchors Sheridan Plaza, a retail center on the neighborhood’s south side that also features Kohl’s and Marshalls. Surrounding eateries include Asian, Latin and Greek options. Nearby specialty stores include KC Market, a Kosher grocery store, and Sedan’s Supermarkets. DiSalvo’s Pizza & Italian Restaurant and Aldi are convenient options on the neighborhood’s north side. Oakwood Plaza is a sprawling retail center less than a mile east of the neighborhood. Residents also have easy access to Memorial Regional Hospital, which is about 2 miles away in neighboring Hollywood Hills.
