Development for the city of Weston, one of the largest planned communities in the country, began in the late 1970s, revolving around convenience, community and South Florida’s natural scenery. Since its incorporation in the 1990s, this city of 68,000 has developed a reputation as a sought-after, family-oriented community with excellent schools and a plethora of shopping and dining options. “Each house here is more than a house – it’s a lifestyle,” says longtime resident Maria Corina Martinez, a Realtor with Keller Williams Legacy Weston. “You have all these communities connected by sidewalks and bike lanes. The school system is amazing, and so many kids can just walk to school.”
Leading industries in the city include professional, technical and scientific services, healthcare, manufacturing and retail trade.

Weston’s broad variety of neighborhoods
Martinez says that Arvida – a renowned real estate development company bought by Disney – built most of Weston's properties. “They not only develop beautiful homes but a beautiful community with gorgeous landscaping, parks, wide streets and sidewalks. You’ll see that in their smaller developments, too, like Cocoplum in Coral Gables.” The city's median price is around $800,000, almost double the national numbers. Martinez says the community’s many subdivisions — most of which are gated — offer a variety of Mediterranean Revival-style homes. “We have everything from condos in the low $200,000s to houses north of $5 million.” Neighborhoods like Emerald Estates offer classic, private suburban living close to the city’s main commercial corridor. Resort-style living around a golf course lies in the city’s Bonaventure District. Windmill Ranch Estates is the priciest subdivision in Weston, featuring spacious waterfront mansions on large leafy lots. It was also one of the city’s first communities, developed in the 1980, but custom homes have been added as late as 2020.
Flood insurance is highly recommended even on the far west side of Broward County, 25 miles from the beach. Hurricane season spans from early June to late November.

Weston Road and Weston Town Center
“People who come to Weston from out of town are either visiting a friend or heading for that shopping corridor on Weston Road,” Martinez says. “They try to keep everything commercial on that road, which is why the rest of Weston feels so secluded.” Weston Road is one of the only streets in Weston where traffic gets heavy. It’s lined with various conveniences, from chain restaurants and stores to professional offices and car dealerships. The thoroughfare also connects to the city’s general hospital, Cleveland Clinic.
While Weston does not have a downtown, Weston Town Center, set between Country Isles and The Islands , comes close enough. The open-air plaza’s brick sidewalks are lined by palm trees and local businesses. It also hosts various events throughout the year, from live music to craft markets. The event season kicks off in early February with Celebrate the Arts Day, an educational extravaganza that vibrantly displays the talents and interests of local middle and high school students. Entertainment is provided by local school bands, choruses and drama departments.
