Pembroke Pines was originally part of the vast Florida Everglades, established in the mid nineteen-fifties, when commuters from Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale and Miami began to arrive, craving a more rural lifestyle. These new residents began to buy up large parcels of swamp and farm land and build comfortable large estates. Most families had horses and today’s equestrian scene in Pembroke Pines owes its existence to these early days. This community has instituted policies to ensure that homes will retain their property value. New residents will find different types of housing available in what used to be pastures near the Everglades swamps. This community has several strip malls and family restaurants as well as the Pembroke Lakes mall. Seniors can make a home in a gated condominium community call Century Village. This community is one of the fastest growing in Florida.
Pembroke Pines is about 15 miles inland of Fort Lauderdale. The community’s multi-ethnic population has given rise to a wide range of churches, temples, and synagogues, to interesting cultural events, and to a varied ethnic dining and retail scene.
West Pines Boulevard has the huge Pembroke Lakes Mall, a major draw for surrounding communities. Schools are excellent and the Broward Community College campus provides a wide range of vocational training for graduates.
Families have plenty of outdoors to enjoy; the CB Smith Park covers over 300 acres and is a lovely place to visit, with ample picnic spots, walking trails, camp sites, and an extensive water park, with slides, and lots more.
Pembroke Pines is in Broward County, it is about 15 miles south of downtown Fort Lauderdale on the Florida Turnpike. Miami is about 15 miles southeast of Pembroke Pines, and the comprehensive system of interstates and highways that feed into it serve to connect Pembroke Pines residents to the rest of Florida.
The community of Pembroke Pines is served by three local airports: which are about 30 minutes away.
