Convenience to major interstates and large, lively flea market

A quirky conglomerate of carnival rides, a flea market, a Ferrari museum and a drive-in theater attract millions to the Swap Shop in Fort Lauderdale every year. It doubles as the world’s largest drive-in and flea market, and locals living in Broward Estates have prime access to the hodgepodge of flower shops, grillz makers and indoor go-karts filling the 180,000-square-foot attraction open year-round. “It’s a huge draw for people who like living near all the shopping and entertainment,” says Louvenia Lewis, real estate agent with TruRealty, who has been selling in the area for 14 years. “The neighborhood also sits between Interstate 95 and State Route 7, so it’s very convenient.”

Ranch homes appeal to first-time buyers

Low, long ranch homes are situated behind modest front lawns dotted with palm trees. Vibrantly painted bungalows add a splash of color along Broward Estates’ sidewalk-lined streets. Homeowners have made tweaks over the years, including new roofing and modernized kitchens, while maintaining the midcentury aesthetic. The renovated three- to four-bedroom properties are often listed between $380,000 and $425,000. “It could be considered a great starter community because it’s more affordable than some surrounding neighborhoods in Plantation where prices can reach above $1 million,” Lewis says. Steel chain link fencing is common throughout the area, whether in the front or back end of the homes, to provide a touch of privacy around the well-maintained yards. While many people pull into short, paved driveways at the end of the day, grassy road verges separate the sidewalks from the roadways and are often used as another option for parking.

Revitalized sports-centric park

Neighbors connect at St George Park. The spacious 6-acre green space is a short walk from the homes in Broward Estates. An expansive basketball pavilion opened in 2022, named for Richard ‘Butch’ Ingram, Jr., who was a longtime basketball coach in the area. Residents looking to pick up a new sport will have plenty of other options here, with cricket, soccer, football and baseball fields on-site. Creatively designed playscapes give kids room to roam and burn off some energy. Benches canopied by shade sails and palm trees sit nearby when people need a reprieve from the sweltering Florida heat. Sturdy steel fencing, crepe myrtles, palms and other mature trees surround the playground and paved walking path weaving through Maye Frances Brooks Jenkins Park. A vibrant mural of flowers sits under a wooden pergola, adding a charming touch to the small community pocket park.

Within 5 miles of downtown Fort Lauderdale

Accessibility to surrounding Fort Lauderdale is made possible by nearby Interstate 95. The freeway sits roughly 2 miles east of Broward Estates. Residents can reach Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport by making the nearly 8-mile trip south. Commuters will want to head in the opposite direction to get to Fort Lauderdale’s central business district. While West Broward Boulevard is packed with retail and restaurants, it also provides access to the Broward Country Transit system and is a convenient route for drivers to downtown Fort Lauderdale and the city’s beaches, all within 5 miles.
