The Mainlands of Tamarac Lakes
Neighborhood in Tamarac, Florida
Broward County 33319, 33321, 33351
New Traditional townhomes and standalone block construction
While architectural styles vary depending on the subdivision, most homes are Spanish or Mediterranean-inspired New Traditionals or classic Floridian block construction ranch-style builds. Prices for standalone single-family homes start under $200,000 and rise to nearly $490,000. Townhomes typically sell for between $350,000 and $400,000. HOA fees also vary by subdivision, but many are under $200 a month. The neighborhood’s inland location keeps the flood risk here lower than coastal parts of Florida, but the risk of wind damage during hurricanes and tropical storms is high.Private Mainlands amenities and public parks nearby offer recreation
“Each community does have its own pool and clubhouse, where they offer a different range of activities, depending on whether the community is 55-plus or not,” Obasogie says. Water’s Edge is a public park in the area, and has a splash pad, outdoor fitness stations and paved walking trails around a fishable lake. Woodville Park has a playground and a dog park. Veterans Park also has a playground, along with an outdoor pool, a gym and various sports facilities. There are several golf and country clubs nearby, including Colony West Golf Club, which has a public, 18-hole course. Hiking trails in the Everglades are accessible a few miles west; the oceanfront is around 10 miles, or about a 30-minute drive, east.Highly rated Broward County Public Schools
Broward County Public Schools allows school choice. This community is zoned to Discovery Elementary, which receives a B-plus from Niche and Millennium 6-12 Collegiate Academy, an A-rated school that combines middle and high school. Piper High School scores a B-minus. Other options nearby include North Broward Academy of Excellence, a B-minus-rated public charter school, and Harvard Academy, an unrated private school.Nearby shuttle/bus stops and other transit options
The Tamarac community shuttle service picks up from stops along Commercial Boulevard. Routes run to the Tamarac Community Center, The Mainlands of Tamarac sections 11, 12 and 13 clubhouse and several nearby shopping centers. Broward County Transit provides farther-reaching bus service, with routes to Sunrise and Lauderdale by the Sea. HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital and Florida Medical Center are within 5 miles of most homes. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, under 20 miles east, is about a 20-minute drive with no traffic on Florida’s Turnpike or Interstate 595.Commercial Boulevard and University Drive have shopping/dining
Strip malls on the Commercial Boulevard and University Drive corridors have grocery stores like Publix and Festival Supermarket, as well as clothing retailers, pet supply shops and beauty parlors. National fast-food and sit-down restaurant chains, like McDonald’s, Denny’s, Applebee’s and First Watch, are scattered throughout the business district. “There are lots of little individually, locally owned restaurants, too. The area is influenced by a cross-section of people. It’s like a melting pot, so there are Jamaican, Haitian, Spanish, and Jewish-influenced restaurants. Whatever food you desire, you can find it there,” Obasogie says. Little Ochi Carl’s Seafood Restaurant is known for Jamaican-Chinese fusion; La Antioqueña Café & Restaurant does classic Colombian fare; Orange Tree Breakfast & Lunch is a no-frills, cash-only American diner.

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.
