Nova Dwight D. Eisenhower Elem

It's a solid pick for families who want a central Broward address at a reasonable price, with schools like Castle Hill Elementary School and secondary options nearby. The neighborhood is residential and well-connected, and the range of homes — from starter condos to larger single-family properties — means most buyers can find a fit.

Compared to much of South Florida, it's approachable: the median list price is $400,000 and active listings run from $95,000 up to nearly $4 million. There are only 7 homes priced above $1 million, so the bulk of the market sits comfortably in the mid-range.

Expect a median list price around $400,000, or roughly $323 per square foot on a median home size of about 1,290 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 141 homes sold at a median price of $475,000, so recent sales have run a bit above current asking levels.

It's active and efficient — the median home sells in about 30 days, and sellers are collecting 98% of their asking price on average. With 71 active listings to choose from, buyers have options but should be ready to move on the right home.

The median HOA here is about $564 per month, which is common given the number of condo and gated communities in the zone. Median property taxes run around $4,465 per year, and if you're weighing renting instead, the median rent is about $2,200 per month.
