We Live Here. We Sell Here.Plantation Real Estate — February 2026
Two very different markets are playing out right now in Plantation — depending on what type of home you're buying or selling. Single-family homes remain in seller's territory with lean supply and rising prices, while the condo and townhome segment has shifted firmly to buyers, with nearly 10 months of inventory and values softening over the past year. Here's the breakdown.

A West Broward Community Built for Families, Professionals & Investors
Nestled in the heart of western Broward County, Plantation is one of South Florida's most desirable suburban cities — offering tree-canopied streets, top-rated schools, over 50 parks, and a central location that puts both Fort Lauderdale's coastline and Miami's urban core within easy reach. With more than 60 distinct neighborhoods ranging from equestrian estates on full-acre lots to modern gated communities and affordable townhome enclaves, Plantation has something for every lifestyle and budget.
The single-family market is performing from a position of strength. With just 4.45 months of inventory — firmly in seller's territory — the median single-family home sold for $725,000 in February 2026, up nearly 11% year-over-year, and sellers are closing at 95.1 cents on the dollar on average. For buyers, well-priced homes are moving in roughly 79 days from listing to contract, which makes working with an agent who knows the market block by block more important than ever.
The condo and townhome segment tells a different story — and a more favorable one for buyers. With 9.57 months of supply and median estimated values down 6.9% over the past year, buyers have more leverage here than they've had in years. The median condo sold for $313,500 in February 2026, and sellers are accepting 95.95% of list price on average. For investors and first-time buyers, this is a meaningful window of opportunity.
That's where we come in. As Plantation residents ourselves, we don't rely on data alone — we live the daily rhythms of this community. We know which streets flood after heavy rain, which neighborhoods have the best trick-or-treating, and which upcoming listings haven't hit the MLS yet. That's the advantage of working with your neighbors.
Plantation's Most Sought-After Communities
Plantation is home to more than 60 neighborhoods, each with its own character. Here are five of the most popular areas buyers ask us about:
Jacaranda
A peaceful, tree-lined community anchored by the Jacaranda Golf Club. Dating back to the 1970s, Jacaranda offers a mix of single-family homes from the mid $300Ks to over $800K, with winding streets, cul-de-sacs, and a patchwork of lakes and canals that give many homes a waterfront feel. Family-friendly, walkable, and beautifully maintained.
Plantation Acres
For buyers seeking space, Plantation Acres delivers sprawling lots — many a full acre or more — where horses, chickens, and fruit trees are part of daily life. Homes range from $400K to over $2 million. Located near Volunteer Park's 85-acre green space and the Plantation Equestrian Center, this is West Broward's premier "country in the city" neighborhood.
Pine Island Ridge
Centered around the Pine Island Ridge Country Club, this community offers single-family homes and townhomes at a range of price points — making it popular with first-time buyers and investors. The neighborhood features mature landscaping, a golf course, and easy access to Pine Island Road's shopping and dining corridor.
Central Park
Named for its proximity to Plantation's flagship Central Park — a massive recreational complex with sports fields, a swimming pool, playgrounds, and walking trails — this neighborhood is ideal for active families. Well-kept single-family homes surround the park, and the area benefits from strong school zoning and quick I-595 access.
The Fountains
One of Plantation's most recognizable communities, The Fountains offers condos and townhomes in a resort-style setting with lakes, fountains, pools, tennis courts, and clubhouse amenities. Price points start in the low $200Ks, attracting young professionals, downsizers, and investors looking for strong rental demand in a well-managed community.
Schools & Education in Plantation
Education is one of the top reasons families choose Plantation. The city is served by the Broward County Public Schools system and is home to 66 schools — including 39 elementary, 28 middle, and 17 high schools spanning public, charter, and private options. Notably, American Heritage School (PK–12), located right here in Plantation, is consistently ranked among the top private schools in Florida, earning an A+ rating from Niche with a 5:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
On the public side, families in Plantation benefit from access to several A-rated schools. Imagine Schools Plantation Campus is one of the top-performing charter schools in Broward County, and Greentree Preparatory Charter School has earned strong parent reviews for its small-school, academically rigorous environment. Where you live in Plantation determines your school zone — and we can help you understand exactly which schools serve each neighborhood so you can make an informed buying decision.
Parks, Recreation & Daily Life
Plantation is one of the greenest cities in Broward County, with more than 50 parks spread across its 22 square miles. Plantation Central Park is the crown jewel — a sprawling recreational complex featuring athletic fields, a community pool, fitness areas, playgrounds, and walking paths. Volunteer Park offers 85 acres of green space including the Plantation Equestrian Center, basketball courts, and picnic pavilions. Deicke Park, Hardy Park, and Plantation Preserve Linear Trail round out the options for runners, cyclists, and families looking to spend time outdoors.
Beyond parks, daily life in Plantation revolves around convenience. Sawgrass Mills — one of the largest outlet malls in the country — sits at Plantation's western edge. University Drive, Broward Boulevard, and Pine Island Road offer a deep bench of dining, grocery, and retail options. The weekly Plantation Farmers Market brings local produce, artisan goods, and food trucks to the community. And for nightlife and culture, downtown Fort Lauderdale's Las Olas Boulevard is just a 20-minute drive east.
Commute Times & Transportation
One of Plantation's biggest selling points is its central location in the Broward County grid. Interstate 595 runs along the city's southern border, connecting directly to I-95, I-75, and Florida's Turnpike — putting virtually all of South Florida within reach.
| Destination | Distance | Drive Time |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Fort Lauderdale / Las Olas | ~12 miles | 20–25 min |
| Fort Lauderdale Beach | ~16 miles | 25–30 min |

For commuters, Plantation's positioning at the I-595/I-75/Turnpike interchange makes it one of the most connected cities in Broward County. Tri-Rail's Cypress Creek station is accessible for those commuting to Palm Beach County, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is a quick 15-minute drive for frequent travelers.
