Homebuyers are attracted to the schools

Located on the western fringes of Cooper City near Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, the neighborhood of Flamingo Gardens is just south of the botanical garden that bears the same name. “This is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Cooper City, and it's mainly because of the schools," says Grayson Adler, a Realtor and managing broker with First Florida Realty. "I've seen a pattern of people living here for 20-25 years to get their kids through the school system." The Broward County School District is highly regarded, with some of the best-performing schools close to Flamingo Gardens.

Botanical garden with the same name

While most of the homes in the Flamingo Gardens neighborhood date to the 1980s, the botanical garden just to the north is much older. The Flamingo Gardens Botanical Garden was established in 1927 and is one of the oldest attractions in South Florida. It has over 3,000 species of rare and exotic native plants and trees. "It's a place that is a popular location for birthday parties," Adler adds. A wildlife sanctuary is home to non-releasable native species, including alligators, bobcats and flamingos.

Stretch your legs like a flamingo

There are many opportunities for outdoor recreation in Flamingo Gardens, including the 5 ½ acre Tamarind Park, which has a 1/3-mile walking and exercise path, an open play area, a sand volleyball court and a playground. There's no parking lot at this park, so most people park along the fence on 115th Avenue. The park is also close to a lake on the western side, where people have reported seeing interesting waterfowl. Flamingo Park is a bit smaller, at just over 3 acres, with a basketball and tennis court and a small playground. People usually park along 119th Avenue. Bill Lips Sports Complex, just outside Flamingo Gardens, has several soccer fields, batting cages, a football stadium and baseball diamonds. The community comes together for games and other local gatherings.
