A taste of the tropics in Broward County
North Margate’s palm tree-lined streets provide an inviting backdrop for those seeking a quiet respite within Broward, Florida’s second-most populous county. Look closer, and the deal gets sweeter. This is a landlocked community, some 10 miles from the South Florida coast. Yet many of the homes here have direct water access thanks to the Stranahan River, an urban boating path that courses through town. And it all can be had at relatively accessible prices, too. “You’re getting good value for your money, relatively speaking,” says Shane Frankovic, owner and operator of Sellstate Partners Realty. “Good walkability, nice parks, nice restaurants. Good school district. In general, it’s a desirable area because it’s a good combination of getting a lot of things most homebuyers want and the affordability aspect.”
Homes share similar character
North Margate’s residential landscape is dominated by midcentury bungalows and ranch-style homes, averaging 1,248 square feet. Almost all of them come with a bit of grassy green lawn space, as part of lots that stretch one-tenth to one-fifth of an acre, and some homes back right up to the Stranahan River. The relative affordability of many of the properties here is boosted by the fact that many of them aren’t part of HOAs. “Communities with no HOAs are in demand now,” says Heather Lawrence, a realtor/mortgage broker with HeatherNow.com and a local Florida expert with over 25 years of experience. “Because North Margate has so many of them at reasonable prices, the neighborhood is attracting first-time homebuyers and investors alike.” Some condos and townhomes supplement the single-family houses here, and are usually priced between the low $100,000s and the low $300,000s. Single-family homes in North Margate typically come with price tags from the mid-$300,000s to the mid-$500,000s based on condition and square footage.
School district carries good reputation
The Broward County Public Schools system serves kids in North Margate, a district with a B-plus overall grade on Niche. The district allows enrollees to apply for schools of their choice, but those in North Margate can start school right in the neighborhood, at the B-minus-rated Margate Elementary, which offers before- and afterschool care. Students can then progress to Margate Middle, a C-plus-rated school with magnet programs in mechanical and civil engineering, and biomedical engineering and biomechanics. Coral Springs High, which carries a B grade, is an option from there, where students can explore interests through a wide range of groups, from a robotics club to a Florida Future Educators of America chapter.
Key thoroughfare comes close by
Residents here can enjoy quick access to U.S. Route 441/State Road 7, an important transportation and commercial stretch. “In general it’s closely connected to main arteries,” says Frankovic, whose Sellstate Partners Realty team covers Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. Commuters, for instance, can use that road to connect with State Road 814 and then Interstate 95 for trips to Fort Lauderdale, just under 20 miles away. Those in North Margate can access multiple stops in the Broward County Transit bus system along Route 441/State Road 7 as well.
Green space is an asset
Locals can take advantage of the area’s walkability to stroll over to Winfield Park, which Frankovic says is a popular spot in the neighborhood. Winfield is where area children can sink their feet into the sandy playground and where locals of all ages can meet for pickup basketball games. Kaye Stevens Park is a peaceful spot for a picnic by a piece of the Stranahan River. Also, the 12-acre Margate Sports Complex in the neighboring enclave of Buttonwood Hammocks is a hub for youth baseball.
Commercial amenities are easy to find
Those in North Margate don’t have to look further than Route 441/State Road 7 for food and more. Bohio Latin Flavors is among the nearby restaurants there, where variations of mofongo — mashed green plantains — are a specialty. Festival-Presidente Supermarket is also close, a spot known in part for its fresh produce. The 289-bed HCA Florida Northwest Hospital is just a tad farther north on Route 441/State Road 7, as is a Walgreens, Winn-Dixie and more.
Community comes together
Communal events are a common thing in the City of Margate. There are multiple events over the course of the year in Margate, including a Fall Festival at Margate Sports Complex each October, featuring scarecrow building, pumpkin carving, a petting zoo and more. There’s also a Winter Festival in December at the corner of Margate Boulevard and Route 441, complete with “snow” and rides. Fourth of July brings a parade down Margate Boulevard, too, plus fireworks.
