Home by the water

After Hurricane Andrew created massive damage throughout Miami-Dade County in 1992, people started moving north to Broward County. That influx necessitated more housing, and neighborhoods like the Lakes of Western Pines were born. It’s an area where interlinking bodies of water provide a peaceful sanctuary for those living there. “This is one of the top neighborhoods in Pembroke Pines,” says Claudia Willard, an associate broker with the Willard Realty Team, with over 20 years of experience in the real estate business. “What puts this area over the top is the amenities you get within the gated community.”

Gated communities

The Lakes of Western Pines is a gated community, and all the separate subdivisions are connected within the gates. The large Mediterranean-style new traditional homes rest among duplex-type townhouses along the winding paths. The bodies of water in the community mean there’s a good chance for a water view from the house. Single-family homes range from $400,000 to $900,000, while townhouses can be anywhere from $350,000 to $500,000. The median price is nearly $600,000 and over $300 per square foot. Homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from $350 to $400 monthly for association fees. The money goes to maintaining common areas, cable TV, ground maintenance and security. The amenities that people enjoy are a clubhouse with a gym, volleyball, tennis and basketball courts, pool, boat ramp and a fishing pier.

Schools with good grades

The Broward County School District is the sixth largest in the country, and while it has over 250,000 students, its schools rank high in academic rigor and the amount of college preparation. “One of the selling points of this neighborhood is the schools,” Willard says. “That usually pushes this neighborhood over the top, combined with the amenities.” Panther Run Elementary has a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13-to-1 and is ranked a B overall. Silver Trail Middle School students can take Peer Counseling as an elective class, where students can help other students try to resolve sticky situations. The school gets an A-minus overall grade. Everglades High School also receives an A-minus from Niche.

Recreation outside the gates

The Lakes of Western Pines is close to the Silver Lakes North Park, which has two lighted basketball courts, two soccer fields, five small pavilions, four lighted tennis courts, a volleyball court and a paved walking or jogging trail. Nearby, residents also head to C.B. Smith Park, which can accommodate 22,000. The Paradise Cove waterpark features four 50-foot waterslides, a lazy river, a watery playground and a pool with two small slides. Other features of the park include a family golfing center, tennis complex and camping facilities.

A South Florida legend

Flanigan’s Seafood Bar & Grill has deep South Florida roots and has a location at the southern end of the neighborhood on Pines Boulevard. It is run by the three Flanigan Brothers, who are second-generation restaurant owners. The walls are decorated with family pictures of fishing trips, and regulars enjoy Mexican Mondays, Wing-It Wednesday themes and the laid-back atmosphere. Seafood is in the name, so there’s plenty of that, but they’re also known for their tangy baby back ribs. Sports fans will love that there’s likely a game on TV to watch while eating. Grocery trips are not very far, with Publix, Sedano’s, and Whole Foods Market within a 10-minute drive.
