Prime location where people want to stay
With Interstate 95 running just to the west and the beaches just a few miles east, Broward Highlands in Deerfield Beach, north of Miami, is where people tend to stay. “I’ve always thought highly of Broward Highlands,” says Geraldo Staziaki, a Deerfield Beach-based Realtor with Agent Plus Realty with nearly ten years of experience. He also owns property in Broward Highlands. “Houses never stay empty, and the property values seem to increase yearly.” There are older homes in various states of repair that attract first-time homebuyers and investors.
Nearing renovation stage
Being so close to the beach, the prices are lower than what might be expected. “Most of the homes are from the 1960s and ‘70s,” Staziaki says. “They’re simple homes that attract people who work blue-collar jobs. Many people who live here are working in construction. It’s a diverse mix of people.” Some homes that need renovation may be less than $400,000, but the price range is usually between $400,000 and $500,000. “The ones with pools are the most expensive. Those are closer to $500,000,” Staziaki adds. About 30% of the homes in Broward Highlands have pools in the backyard: Ranch-style, some colorful as is common in Florida, Spanish-style one-story homes, some with circular driveways are common to see. Palm trees typically shade the sidewalks. There are also condos and duplexes. Sixty-one percent of Broward Highlands residents are homeowners.

Parks-a-plenty
Though Broward Highlands is not large, it does offer quality green space, including Mayo Howard Park, which runs alongside FAU Research Park Boulevard and features a pavilion for cookouts, a covered children’s playground, an exercise trail and plenty of grassy areas. The Pastor Willie James Ford Sr. Linear Park runs along SW 10th Street. The outdoor fitness court has reproductions of Jean-Michael Basquiat’s paintings—courtesy of a grant from the National Fitness Campaign. The Tivoli Sand Pine Preserve is 25 acres and comes from the sand pines that existed in the park before being killed by hurricanes in the early 2000s. There are paved trails, and the park is home to the endangered gopher tortoise. The Oveta McKeithen Recreational Complex is a 15-acre park with playgrounds, jungle gyms, athletic fields and a community center.
