Every other tracked gated communities in Broward County

What gates change about ownership

Controlled access typically comes with a manned gate, a transponder system, or both — funded through HOA dues. Expect guest-access procedures, delivery and contractor rules, and in some communities rental restrictions. Review the HOA budget for how the gate and any roving patrol are funded, and whether roads are private (the HOA maintains them — another line in the dues) or public.

Due diligence before you buy behind a gate

Request the HOA documents early: budget, reserves, rules, and the last two years of meeting minutes. Private roads, gates and common areas are owner-funded, so thin reserves become special assessments. Our buyer closing costs calculator helps you model dues and assessments into the real monthly cost.

What it costs to own here

At Broward County’s typical combined millage of 19.84 mills, a purchase at $937,500 (the median across these gated communities) generates roughly $18,603 a year in property tax before exemptions — about $1,550 a month. Florida resets the assessed value to roughly your purchase price, so the seller’s current bill is not a preview of yours; a homesteaded owner then gets the $25,000–$50,000 exemption and the 3% Save Our Homes cap going forward. Citizens Property Insurance policies in Broward County average about $1,561 a year ($130 a month) — private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation, so price coverage before your inspection window closes. All-in, our county model puts the typical monthly cost of ownership in Broward County near $2,618 (principal and interest on the typical home, tax, and insurance).

Run your exact numbers: the property tax after purchase calculator uses Broward County’s verified millage, and the buyer closing costs calculator builds the full cash-to-close.

Demand and supply in Broward County right now

In the most recent IRS migration data (2022-2023), Broward County lost a net 13,129 people to relocation, with the largest inbound flows from NY, NJ, CA. Households moving IN reported average incomes of $90,662 versus $75,372 for those leaving — the income mix of demand, straight from tax filings. Population is up about 1.9% over the recent multi-year window. On the supply side, builders pulled 2,690 residential permits in Broward County in 2025 (712 single-family), up 62.5% year over year — against 4,069 at the 2021 peak. Permits are tomorrow’s inventory: a shrinking pipeline supports prices, a swelling one hands buyers leverage. Our valuation model reads the county as overvalued by about 16.2% versus its income-and-rent fundamentals.

The Broward County market, in context

Broward County sits between Miami-Dade and Palm Beach with Fort Lauderdale — the yachting capital of the world — at its heart. It offers a more attainable entry to the tri-county than Miami, a diversified economy spanning marine, cruise, aviation, and tech, and a nearly built-out landscape of established suburbs from Weston to Parkland.

The economy behind the market: {'drivers': 'the marine industry, tourism and cruise (Port Everglades), aviation, healthcare, and finance and tech', 'summary': "Broward's economy is unusually diversified for South Florida. Fort Lauderdale is the marine-industry capital — yacht building, refit, and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show — while Port Everglades is one of the world's busiest cruise ports and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is a major airport. AutoNation, a Fortune 500 company, is headquartered here, Broward Health and Memorial Healthcare anchor one of the largest public health systems in the country, and a growing tech and finance presence rounds it out.", 'employers': ['Broward County Public Schools (6th-largest district in the U.S.)', 'Memorial Healthcare System', 'Broward Health', 'AutoNation (Fortune 500 HQ, Fort Lauderdale)', 'Nova Southeastern University', 'American Express', 'Port Everglades', 'Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport'], 'jobNote': 'AutoNation is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale; Port Everglades is among the busiest cruise ports in the world.'}

What could change it: As coastal South Florida, Broward carries high insurance and hurricane/storm-surge exposure, with sea-level rise and king-tide flooding affecting low-lying areas. The county is largely built out, so new single-family supply is limited, and older condos face post-Surfside reserve and assessment requirements that must be checked before buying.

Near-term outlook: Expect steady demand as the tri-county's relative-value option, with modest near-term price movement. Insurance and affordability are the brakes, and the condo market remains the softest segment as assessments work through; well-located single-family in top-school suburbs stays the most resilient.
