As its name suggests, Pembroke Lakes is a community built around several lakes. As such, many homes are on waterfront properties with yards filled with towering palms and tropical flowering plants, giving off a resort-like feel. And because it's a bit farther out of major cities like Miami and Fort Lauderdale, it offers a quieter atmosphere popular among families. "It's much more of a day-life and afternoon-life kind of place where they have cute things like kite flying events," says Jenise Gato, an associate broker and Team Leader for LPT Realty, LLC's Peaceful Moves team. The neighborhood is also known for its many public parks, including Flamingo Park, a massive sporting complex where community little leagues compete.
Pembroke Lakes in Florida is considered a deed-restricted community.
Pembroke Lakes has lakefront Single-family Houses that rest on the shores of Florida waters.
