Parkland Florida is tucked up in the piney woods of Broward's northwest corner, with  Boca Raton to one side and the Everglades to the another, and Coral Springs just to the south of it. This location provides for a very private, almost country like setting, that makes it feel like a City in the Country. It is a short drive to the beaches, airports, local shopping , local attractions and on line shopping and travel Parkland is a study in contrasts, it's a city whose character and inhabitants would seemingly be at odds, yet oddly enough aren't.

It's a forest town, and trees predominate on land formerly owned by large cattle ranchers. Parkland's main drag, Holmberg Road, is a two-lane, for the first half of the city, then goes into a four lane road, where the city changes from pure country to the Upscale modern look- where the 35-mph speed limit is strictly enforced by police with little other crime to pursue.

In Parkland's center is the Ranches, a neighborhood of large, old-time farm spreads where nearly everyone rides a horse. The western part is made up of newer and modern subdivisions, where the only land for new construction exists, in sections like Heron Bay and Parkland Golf and Country Club. The 11 square mile city is primarily residential and city officials jealously safeguard Parkland's rural mystique. 

Parkland's 22,700 residents and growing, however, are anything but country folk. With one of 

Farm House At The Ranchesthe highest median incomes in the State of Florida , they live in homes with an average price of more than $700,000. More than 40 percent have bachelor's degrees or higher, their median age is 38 and one of the primary reasons for living hear are the local schools, amongst the best in the State.
Presiding over this marriage of sophistication and simplicity is a City Commission made up of four commissioners and a mayor. Commissioners are elected from districts, and the mayor citywide. A professional city manager hired by the commission oversees the city's day-to-day operations. 

Development has been the prevailing issue in recent years. The commission persists in strict reviews of each new development and - some say unfairly - rejects any that don't conform to the "park like" atmosphere. Tel: 954-802-8451.   email us

Northern Broward is home to the unique city of parkland. Ones one of the area's best kept secrets, it is just in the last ten years that people "discovered" Parkland. Incorporated in 1963, the population jumped from 545 in 1980 to 15,000 in 2001.The city passed its first comprehensive land use plan in 1987. Parkland is predominately residential with a small portion zoned for commercial and industrial. Long-term projections call for an eventual population of over 35,000 and city leaders have taken a conservative approach to growth in order to maintain Parkland's small-town flavor.
