What you get for seven figures in Pembroke Pines

For buyers looking for a suburban area geared toward families, Pembroke Pines emerges as a top contender.

Situated between two major cities in South Florida, Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines offers the ideal combination for young families: proximity to good schools, dining and entertainment plazas and parks.

“It’s the location for sure,” said Miriam Sanchez, realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty in Miramar. “It’s 15 minutes from Fort Lauderdale, about 25 minutes from Miami. And it’s close to schools in western Broward.”

The city is home to parks such as C.B. Smith Park and the Chapel Trail Park Nature Preserve, and it’s also not far from the Everglades. There’s also dining and entertain

ment options, like the Shops at Pembroke Gardens.

Here is what buyers can get for around $1 million:
