Coral Bay offers waterfront living close to the highway

Coral Bay is a neighborhood with two identities. To the north, the gated community of Coral Bay, where the neighborhood gets its name, is an all-ages community with eight subdivisions of single-family homes that wind around a 70-acre lake, the largest in the area. To the south, Coral Cay Plantation, a 55-plus mobile-home community, enjoys its own waterfront views with the Stranahan River and a canal on two sides. Both halves of the neighborhood enjoy exceptional amenities, a prime central location and attractive price points. Coral Bay is unique because it’s “in the middle of Coral Springs, Parkland and Margate,” says real estate broker Sheng Kim with Full Service 3% Realty. “It's a great central location for parks, attractions and highway access.”

Spanish-style homes and manufactured homes with lake and river views

“Coral Bay draws working families with its clubhouses, activities and low HOA fees,” Kim says. This is a well-run community that’s only about 30 years old.” Most houses here are two stories with Spanish-style roofs, arched entryways, and prominent two-car garages. Some include backyard pools with built-in barbecues for entertaining; others enjoy stunning lakefront views. On average, these homes sell for between $320,000 for fixer-uppers and $700,000 for the largest and most recently updated. To the south, manufactured homes in Coral Cay Plantation often feature carports, screened-in porches and decks. Some enjoy backyard water access. And they’re priced much lower than Coral Bay — between $60,000 and $115,000. And HOA fees are higher — $950 per month, which includes the land lease.

Public, private and charter school options with magnet programs

The neighborhood’s public schools include Margate Elementary, which received a B from Niche, partly for its good 16 to 1 student-teacher ratio. Margate Middle, a C-plus school, offers a STEM magnet program for students interested in engineering or biomechanics that can earn them an automatic seat in a magnet high school. Students at Coral Springs High, which scored a B, can start early on their career interests through dual enrollment programs at five Florida colleges and universities. Families can also choose from several charter and private schools nearby, such as K-8 Renaissance Charter School at Coral Springs, which received a B-plus from Niche and an 8-of-out-10 rating from GreatSchools.

Parks and resort-style amenities help Coral Bay residents stay active

Amenities are a high priority to homebuyers interested in purchasing a home in the neighborhood. Coral Bay features three community swimming pools, one built on a narrow peninsula that juts into the central lake and offers stunning panoramic views. Residents can play tennis or basketball at North Bay Park, and kids can climb and slide on the playground in South Bay Park. As you might guess, a 55-plus community like Coral Cay has its own demand for social and recreational activities. That’s why, in addition to tennis and basketball courts, you’ll find bocce ball and shuffleboard courts, horseshoes, two heated pools, a spa and whirlpool, two beautiful clubhouses, a library, a billiard room, and social and sports activities that bring residents together. For anyone needing help with physical fitness, a You Fit Gym is nearby, too, where members can take advantage of group fitness classes and small group training led by personal trainers.
