Sawgrass
Luxury condos and town houses by the trails
Tall, limewashed condominiums offer proximity to parks and trails and one-bedroom units with balconies for under $300,000. In newer buildings, homeowners association fees can be close to $1,000 per month, but there are a lot of amenities in these buildings. Built in 2007, the attractive town houses in the Artesia development come in Mediterranean and Spanish styles. A two-bedroom town house in this upscale community can be found for under $600,000. Elsewhere among the small residential sections in Sawgrass, homebuyers will find late-century Monterey-style homes with four bedrooms on large, topical lots for under $750,000.

Aside from several greenways and small green spaces, Flamingo Road Linear Park is the only park within this small neighborhood. This sunny green space lies next to a town house complex and offers a 1 1/2 mile trail featuring intermittent wellness stations. For a more challenging ride or run, athletes can enter the Everglades Conservation Levee Greenway on the northwestern border of Sawgrass. The flat, unpaved trail makes a 28-mile loop around a large swath of wetlands. The trail runs through Markham Park, on the southern border of Sawgrass. This 650-acre green space offers mountain biking trails, campgrounds, and a rifle range. Also in Sawgrass is the Amerant Bank Arena, where the Florida Panthers ice hockey team plays, and the site of music performances. The Sunrise Civic Center Aquatics Complex is just over a mile east of Sawgrass, part of a large municipal area with a theater, art gallery and other city services.

Outlet malls and foodie favorites
Sawgrass Mills is surrounded by lagoons and offers much for shoppers and diners. Restaurants fast and slow, from cafes and chains like Popeye’s to family restaurants like Johnny Rockets and The Cheesecake Factory. Shoppers will find many outlet stores, such as Nike and Lululemon, as well as a Walmart Supercenter. Like everywhere else in South Florida, Downtown Sunrise has benefitted from a local foodie movement. Food critics at Eater Magazine recommend two local restaurants under 4 miles away from Sawgrass. The chili served on spaghetti or hot dogs at Cincinnati Chili at Skyline is one of their Best Dishes in Broward County. Marumi Sushi made the list of Best Sushi in Broward County.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
