1990s origins

One of many gated communities in the Pembroke Pines area of Broward County, north of Miami, Towngate has a similar story to other neighborhoods. The need for houses was in great demand in the 1990s after people moved north to Broward County from Miami after Hurricane Andrew. “In that era, many roads were unpaved,” says Neeta Kochhar, a Realtor with NK Realty, LLC, with nearly 20 years of experience selling in the Pembroke Pines area. “The houses in Towngate are the ‘older’ new houses that developed because of constant development in this area.”

Homeowners association fees come with a house in Towngate and run from $200 to $350 and include access to the amenities, maintenance and security.
