North Andrews Gardens
Lower-cost homes close to the beach
Driving down the narrow streets of North Andrews Gardens flanked by palm and oak trees, there are no sidewalks, and the homes are on small lots and are modestly sized. Most have between 1,200 and 1,600 square feet of space, but many still have under 1,000 square feet. The style is predominantly a one-story ranch. “The price range for the homes is between $400,00 and $600,000. In today’s market, that’s pretty good,” Armenta says. The price per square foot in the neighborhood is close to $400. The era of houses is mainly from the 1950s and ‘60s; a typical floorplan would have two to three bedrooms and an attached garage or carport.

Coffee shop with American and Spanish food
The Plaza at Prospect and Andrews is the neighborhood’s retail center with two blocks of locally owned businesses. The American Coffee Shop is open for breakfast and lunch and is a family-owned eatery specializing in American and Spanish food, like Milanesa de Pollo. This dish originated in Milan, Italy, but is served in Mexican restaurants. It’s fried, breaded chicken breast, often served with Mexican rice. Jugos la Hacienda has freshly squeezed juices and refreshing smoothies in many different varieties of fruits and vegetables or a combination. There are various grocery stores in the area, whether it’s only a few things needed or a cartful. Tamer’s Food Mart is on 6th Avenue and is locally owned, with everyday essentials in a convenience store setting. For the health-conscious, there’s Sprouts Farmers Market with a wide selection of organic food and gluten-free selections. A knowledgeable staff can also inform and educate about healthy food choices. Publix is a five-minute drive away with a bakery, deli, and pharmacy.

Large North Andrews Gardens park
With four baseball diamonds and plenty of green space, Wimberly Fields Park is a popular site for athletic competitions. There are also pickleball courts to keep up with the latest craze, lighted basketball courts and a shaded playground area. It’s also the site of the City of Oakland Park's annual Youth Day celebration. As part of the events, a parade starts less than a mile away at another nearby park. The festival is usually held in early March.

B-plus Broward
The schools in the neighborhood are part of the Broward County Public School system. The district is rated a B-plus overall on Niche and gets an A grade in the category of college prep for older students. The student-teacher ratio at Lloyd Estates Elementary School is 16-to-1 and an overall grade of C. A similar overall grade has been given to James S. Rickards Middle School. Students at this C-rated school and those throughout the district have access to academic tools to learn even when school is not in session due to summer break or weekends. Northeast High School has a Niche overall B-minus grade and a B in college prep.

Residents out walking
With Interstate 95 close, there are commuting options. The Broward County Transit bus lines have multiple stops along Commercial Boulevard and Andrews Avenue. Even though there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood, that doesn’t stop people from being outside in North Andrews Gardens. “You always see people walking their dog or just out for exercise in this neighborhood,” Armenta says.
