In its infancy in 1972, Miramar adopted a comprehensive growth plan that resulted in the creation of a thriving Broward County suburb. The population has nearly doubled since 2000, and more than 140,000 now call the city home. Miramar is known for its multicultural attractions and recreational spaces. Its housing options range from the established to the contemporary, and it offers several top-rated schools. In addition, proximity to major highways and coastal cargo ports in Fort Lauderdale and Miami helps attract business and positions the city for future growth and development.
Miramar enclaves offer plenty of single-family homes by the water.

New development features attractive homes in waterfront settings
Miramar's older housing is concentrated on the east side of town in traditional neighborhood settings. Single-level midcentury designs are prominent in neighborhoods such as Miramar Tropical and Welwyn Park. Prices typically range from the high $300,000s to around $700,000. Newer homes, typically found in master-planned developments, are concentrated on the west side among a network of small lakes. Larger, more expensive housing in waterfront settings is highlighted by neighborhoods such as Nautica and Harbour Lake Estates. Prices typically range from the low $500,000s to almost $2 million. “It’s a diverse community that is growing quickly, and it’s more affordable than the rest of the Miami area,” says Claudio Daniel, a Miramar resident and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “Your money goes a lot farther in Miramar. A $600,000 house in Miramar would cost $900,000 or more in Miami.” Multi-family options include older condos and townhouses concentrated in the eastern and central portions of the city, and contemporary townhouses with attached garages in select communities on the west side. Prices range from about $200,000 to the low $700,000s. The city is far enough inland that flooding is not a risk; however, wind damage and storm surge can be, especially during hurricane season. Insurance rates may reflect this.

I-75, Florida's Turnpike provide quick access throughout the region
