Get to know Coconut Creek

Coconut Creek’s distinctive personality comes not specifically from its coconut palms or flowing creeks but from its adoration for the environment and surrounding ecosystem. This city is a certified Community Wildlife Habitat, constantly striving toward being an area hospitable to its flora and fauna neighbors. There’s a particular love for butterflies here, earning Coconut Creek the “Butterfly Capital of the World” moniker. Fittingly, it’s also home to Butterfly World, the largest aviary on the planet for those technicolor-winged creatures — host to over 20,000 of them. A nearly two-dozen-acre promenade near Coconut Creek’s center comprises open-air shopping and dining and an ever-growing number of LEED-certified buildings. Stables and equestrian trails are found in nearby parks, alongside soccer and baseball fields, tennis and volleyball courts, and picnic areas. Beaches and oceanfront delights are a quick trip east in Pompano Beach.

Living in Broward County

Florida’s second-largest county by population, Broward fills the gap between Miami and Palm Beach. Its developed portion leans almost entirely suburban, with the remaining majority of its land mass within the Everglades. The county’s namesake, Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, spent much of his gubernatorial term lobbying to reclaim the region’s wetlands for agriculture and development, finding a key ally in Teddy Roosevelt. The resulting land boom transformed Fort Lauderdale, the country seat, into a bustling resort town — a ring of suburbs incorporated soon thereafter. Today’s Broward boasts the obligatory beaches, vibrant shopping districts, and a litany of cultural attractions, along with the weather to enjoy them year-round. While it’s considered part of the greater Miami metro, the area boasts a diverse economy all its own. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has some 700 daily flights, and Port Everglades is one of the country’s busiest. Tri-Rail and Brightline offer commuters an alternative to the highway, linking population centers from Miami to Palm Beach.
