Avalon
Neighborhood in Miramar, Florida
Broward County 33025
Gated community with classic homes
Avalon is a gated community; residents and guests are welcomed by an ornate stucco pillar bearing the neighborhood's name, a row of neatly-cultivated palm trees, and posted security. Avalon is a community of small manmade lakes and canals, so many homes offer water views. Single-family houses are typically ranch-style or two stories, built in the 1990s and early 2000s, and employ Mediterranean and Mission-inspired architecture. Each driveway is evenly paved with equally even sidewalks. Many homes have open foyers and tall entrances. These houses cost $500,000-$650,000. Buyers will find condos and townhouses for $250,000-$500,000 in the neighborhood. In exchange for monthly fees below $350, the homeowners' association offers community pools, gyms, and tennis courts.Two dozen acres of sports and leisure at Ansin Sports Complex
The 24-acre Ansin Sports Complex is adjacent to New Renaissance Middle School. This sporting and socializing hub features a stadium, athletic fields, courts and a community center. Avalon residents enjoy easy access to all Miramar has to offer, such as the nearby Miramar Amphitheater at Miramar Regional Park, a 173-acre green space. The amphitheater, active year-round, seats 3,000 and consistently features big-name musicians. The Miramar Cultural Center/ArtsPark, a few blocks west of Avalon, is next to the city hall. The center has an art gallery, botanical garden, theater, dance studio and banquet hall. "The city of Miramar is very involved and community oriented," Brown says, even highlighting their weekly magazine that offers different activities throughout the city. "Ninety percent of the time it’s free to the public. They have stuff like zumba and you can run marathons. It’s very community based and culturally diverse."International Baccalaureate program at New Renaissance Middle School
