Small suburb sought after for its affordability and proximity to major highways

Broadview Park is a small suburban community sought after for two main reasons: its affordability and proximity to major infrastructures, such as U.S. Route 441 and U.S. Interstate 595. It's ideally located between the cities of Plantation and Fort Lauderdale, busy industrial centers housing more than 5,600 businesses and corporations. As a result, Broadview Park has become an ideal location for big-city commuters. The neighborhood is also well-known for its community park, where two little leagues regularly converge to compete.

Spanish eclectic, minimal traditional ranch-style homes at an affordable price

Across the neighborhood's several subdivisions are a variety of ranch-style homes with Spanish eclectic and minimal traditional architectural influences. Most have two- to four bedrooms and sit on modest lots. They tend to sell for between $350,000 and $565,00, with an average price of around $444,000. There are some fixer-uppers here, too, and they tend to sell for somewhere in the $200,000 range. And the rare villa with large yards and in-ground pools can sell for more than $750,000. According to John Scalia, a Realtor with eXp Realty, homes are staying on the market longer because of the rise of interest rates. "Previously, I would've said 30 to 60 days, but now it's closer to 60 to 90," he says. Of note: The city of Fort Lauderdale owns a 62-acre tract in the community and plans to develop 50 acres into affordable housing communities. This development has been met with some resistance, with the Broadview Park Civic Association launching a petition to preserve the land.

Recreational leagues play at Sunview Park

Sunview Park is the neighborhood's main public outdoor space, serving as the home field, so to speak, for two little leagues, Sunset and Broadview Park. The park spans 20 acres and includes fields and courts for baseball, football, soccer and basketball. There is also an on-site recreation center where fitness classes, clubs and programs for teens are held throughout the year. "It's just an all-around good family community," Scalia says, highlighting the importance of community programming in the neighborhood. Across town is Washburn Park, a smaller space ideal for passive activities like picnicking and walking.

Events hosted by the City of Planation

The City of Plantation hosts a variety of community events throughout the city each year. The city's main farmer market is held Saturday mornings at Volunteer Park, about 10 miles away. The park is filled with at least two dozen vendor booths selling everything from local produce to freshly cut flowers to baked goods for furry friends. The Holiday Fantasy of Lights display is a staple event during the holiday season. Elaborate lights and holiday-themed cutouts line a three-mile span of Florida's Turnpike near Tradewinds Park, about 18 miles away.

I love living here, there's always something fun to do and there's numerous opportunities for people whether its school or work. Going to school in this city was always fun, so many different nationalities and so much pride in the people for where they come from. The only thing that i do not really enjoy about the area is the condition of the environment, it seems that not many people care about the litter and the pollution but granted this is a significantly populated area.

The housing in my neighborhood is very accommodating. They are nice enough and large enough for families that would like to stay for many years, colorful and well maintained. There are few abandoned homes and the cost for housing and utilities in this area are fairly reasonable.

There is a lot of vandalism and graffiti and littering around this city. I must admit I'm quite a green thumb so road/sidewalk maintenance is kind of a big concern for me. Police are usually on top of their job for the most part so in regards to them i feel pretty safe but street lighting isn't always the greatest which isn't a good thing in neighborhoods around this area because not all neighborhoods are necessarily safe enough to be as dark as a they are. I personally would not want to walk on the streets alone a night due to the lack of proper lighting.
