Peacocks, palm trees and A-rated schools

Chapel Trail is a master-planned community on the west side of Pembroke Pines, surrounded by great schools and lush Floridian greenery. “I lived in Chapel Trail for a couple of years when my daughters were very young,” says Jenise Gato, a broker associate and Realtor with Peaceful Moves by LPT Realty. “It’s very popular for families since there are many A-rated schools. I loved the wide sidewalks, pretty lawns and gorgeous greenery. They made for wonderful jogs and bike rides. You wave to your neighbors as you go by.” Each subdivision has play areas for kids and palm-lined green spaces to walk four-legged friends to. The neighborhood also features public green spaces, including an expansive nature preserve. “It is very close to the Everglades,” Gato says. “I never saw alligators in my lake when I lived there, but we would hear peacocks walking on our roof. They’re super chill. They just like to stroll like everyone else.”

“Every house is a childhood home”

The neighborhood has several subdivisions; some are gated, such as Chapel Trail Estates and Malibu Bay, while others are ungated, like Pasadena Estates. Each subdivision is a master-planned community originally built in the 1980s or ‘90s. HOAs are standard. Other standard features include driveways and two-car garages. Home designs vary but typically stick to the Spanish eclectic style — a Florida classic influenced by Mediterranean, Native American and Spanish architecture. Stucco and clay siding, arches and barrel roof tiles are staple features of this style. “There’s less turnover here,” Gato says. “It’s where families grow. Every house is a childhood home.” While Chapel Trail mostly has single-family homes, townhouses are in the neighborhood, too. List prices range from $417,000 — the cost of a three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse — to $1.1 million — the cost of a five-bedroom, four-bathroom estate. Manufactured homes can be found on the west side in Heritage City for less than $300,000.

City of Pembroke Pines Charter School System

Students in the neighborhood are served by two school systems: Broward County Public Schools and the City of Pembroke Pines Charter School System. The latter is a lottery system. Accepted students can start school at the west K-8 campus, a school rated A-minus on Niche, before going to City of Pembroke Pines Charter High, which is rated A-plus and ranked No. 11 on Niche’s list of the best charter high schools in Florida. Outside of the charter system, schools remain strong. All students can get their academic start at Chapel Trail Elementary, rated B-plus. “There’s a dual language program there that’s really unique,” Gato says. “There’s an option for students to learn Spanish and English together. There aren’t many public schools that offer that.” Students can then attend Silver Trail Middle, rated A-minus, and graduate from West Broward High, rated A. West Broward High offers dual enrollment and advanced placement courses, as well as the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education program, which allows students to acquire up to 45 hours of college credit alongside their diploma. It also puts graduating students in the running for the highest level of the Florida Academic Scholarship.

Chapel Trail Nature Preserve

Chapel Trail’s subdivisions hedge the leafy edges of protected wetlands. Chapel Trail Nature Preserve is the community’s largest green space. Its 450 acres are home to more than 100 native fauna species, all also found throughout the greater Everglades system. Locals take in nature’s tranquility as they walk along the boardwalk. “A lot of people go bird-watching there,” Gato says. “There’s a bald eagle nest way up in the trees. You’ll see professional bird watchers with big equipment looking into the preserve. I’ve never seen the eagles — probably need binoculars to spot them — but it’s cool to know they live there.”

For athletic recreation, Rose G. Park is the neighborhood’s go-to. This park features basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, paddleball and swimming facilities. Gato says swimming lessons are offered at the park’s pool. Free pool memberships are accessible to all Chapel Trail residents.

The Chapel Trail Nature Preserve includes a 1,650-foot-long boardwalk and observation pavilion.

U.S. Highway 27 and Interstate 75

Chapel Trail may have plenty of sidewalks, but it is a car-dependant area. Conveniently, U.S. Highway 27 runs through the west side of the neighborhood. “U.S. 27 feeds into I-75,” Gato says. “It’s like a backway you can use to avoid a lot of traffic. You go down 27 and catch I-75 and then the [Florida] Turnpike. That’s the easiest way to get to metropolitan areas like Fort Lauderdale.”
