If greens could talk, imagine the tales they would tell in Inverrary. This Lauderhill area is known for Inverrary Country Club, a golf haven made famous by comedian Jackie Gleason, of “The Honeymooners.” Gleason lived at the club and lent his name to the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic. The prominent golf tournament sprouted here in the 1970s, attracting figures such as President Gerald Ford and golf legend Jack Nicklaus. The country club closed permanently in 2020, yet the surrounding neighborhood still attracts home seekers. The area is now known for its mix of single-family homes and condos at relatively accessible prices and its convenient location within the city. And the crime score here ranks just slightly above the national average, according to the CAP Index. “There’s a lot of interest because of the condos, and it attracts a lot of first-time buyers,” says local Realtor Arlene Obasogie of Keller Williams Central.

Options suit a range of tastes and budgets
Most of the residences here were built between the 1960s and the 1980s, but that time span comes with a range of choices. There are pockets of the neighborhood filled exclusively with traditional single-family homes — rows of neatly organized ranch- and contemporary-styled houses. Other parts of the area, particularly closer to the now-defunct country club, are dominated by condo and townhome complexes. “You have a bunch of really neat condos,” says local Realtor Andria Dalmadge of Infinity International Realty. “It’s a fair mix really.” Perhaps the best part is that there are condos here that can be had for under $100,000, while others range to the mid-$300,000s. Townhomes in Inverrary sell for prices from the low $200,000s to the high $300,000s, while single-family homes start in the high $200,000s and typically top out in the $700,000s, particularly for properties by one of the area’s lakes or canals.

School choices can vary
The Broward County Public Schools System covers Inverrary, a district with a B-plus overall rating on Niche. The district allows students and their families to apply for the schools of their choice, but a possible path for those in Inverrary based on address assignments includes starting at the C-rated Village Elementary, which offers afterschool care. Students can then explore entry to the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme at the C-rated Lauderdale Lakes Middle. The area’s C-plus-rated Piper High features a career technical education department that offers instruction in culinary arts, entrepreneurship and business, health science, engineering, and journalism.

Transportation access is an asset
People can leave this quiet enclave and reach other spots around the region in a relative jiffy. “It’s close to the highway, people want to be close to the highway,” says Dalmadge, who has been in real estate in the area for a dozen years. For instance, the Florida Turnpike runs right along the eastern edge of the neighborhood and can take drivers down to Miami in a trip of just about 30 miles. Arteries in town like West Oakland Park Boulevard can take locals to the coast even quicker — Earl Lifshey Ocean Park in Fort Lauderdale is less than 10 miles away on that route. “The beach is always there,” Dalmadge says. Inverrary comes with multiple stops in the Broward County Transit bus system as well.
Reliable public transportation is great for those who needs to commute around the neighborhood.

Outdoor attractions abound
The closing of Inverrary Country Club, which was spurred by the pandemic, doesn’t leave the neighborhood devoid of outdoor recreation. Rather, spots like the almost 13-acre Lauderhill Sports Park here bring people together with its football, baseball and soccer fields. There’s even a cricket field here. Locals of all ages, meanwhile, can get their exercise in on the paved trail at Westwind Park. There’s also a pool in the neighborhood, at Veterans Park.

Location comes with myriad amenities
Inverrary’s central location places it in proximity of many commercial attractions, too. “It’s central to shopping,” says Obasogie, who has been a realtor in the area for over 17 years. “Lots of restaurants there.” Some of the options have a Caribbean flair, including multiple Jamaican restaurants, Obasogie says. One example is Peppa Seed, a popular restaurant on University Drive that is known for its curry goat. Donna’s Caribbean Restaurant, part of a regional chain, is another option nearby, well-liked for its breakfast. There’s a fair share of big box stores in and around the neighborhood as well, from Burlington, Staples and Ross Dress for Less to supermarkets like Publix and Festival. And multiple houses of worship are conveniently close, including the Synagogue of Inverrary-Chabad and 770 Moshiach Center.

Feel the beat in Lauderhill
Among the things Lauderhill is known for are its outdoor concerts, which Obasogie says are popular. The list includes the Jazz Picnic in the Park concert series, held at the 3-acre Ilene Lieberman Botanical Gardens right in the neighborhood. Jazz Picnics feature local bands and occur one Sunday a month from November to February. Jammin in the Park is another local tradition, an April concert with multiple acts, at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium.
