Which way this market is moving
Active inventory across Broward County has fallen over the past year (-14%). About 20% of county listings currently carry a price cut, which tells you how much negotiating room the average seller has already conceded.

A strong local agent will reconcile these numbers with what is happening on your exact street before recommending a price.
What it costs to own in Gardens at Pembroke Lakes
On a median-priced Gardens at Pembroke Lakes home ($290,000), property taxes at Broward County’s typical millage of 19.8427 run roughly $4,762 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Broward County is about $1,561 a year (April 2026 filings); private-market quotes differ, and a good agent will tell you which carriers are actually writing here.
Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Broward County.
At Gardens at Pembroke Lakes’s $290,000 median and Broward County’s adopted 19.84 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,750 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,920 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Broward County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Broward County sits near $2,498 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.3% year over year. County-level yield math pencils to roughly a 7.04% cap rate on typical numbers, before expenses. Home prices run about 5.71x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in Gardens at Pembroke Lakes, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.
Who is moving to Broward County, and what they earn
The county lost a net 13,129 people in the latest IRS county-migration year. Households moving IN average $90,662 in income versus $75,372 for those moving out — movers arriving here earn more than those leaving, which shapes what sellers can ask and what buyers compete against. The biggest out-of-state feeder markets are NY, NJ, CA. Median household income in Broward County has grown about 30% since 2018 ($74,534 now). Population is up about 2% over the same stretch. An agent who knows these flows can tell you which way demand in Gardens at Pembroke Lakes is actually pointing, not just where prices have been.
Sources: IRS SOI county-to-county migration; U.S. Census income and population estimates. County-level data for context; community demand varies within the county.
School context you can verify: the Broward County school district earned a district grade of A from the Florida Department of Education (2025-26) and has held an A since 2024. Attendance zones vary by address, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific home with the district.

If you’re buying in Gardens at Pembroke Lakes

If you’re selling in Gardens at Pembroke Lakes

Interview agents on their marketing reach beyond the MLS, their plan for the first 14 days, and what they would do at day 45 if showings stall. The wrong list price costs more than any commission difference.
