Moving to Tamarac — Broward's Active Adult Capital
Tamarac is one of Broward County's most established residential cities — best known as a premier destination for active adults and 55+ communities, and increasingly attractive to young families seeking excellent value in a central Broward location. With a cost of living among the lowest in South Florida and a strong community spirit, Tamarac delivers real quality of life without the premium.
55+ Living at Its Best
Tamarac has one of the highest concentrations of well-maintained active adult and 55+ communities in South Florida. Colony West, Kings Point, and Mainlands offer resort-style amenities — pools, clubs, golf, and organized social calendars — at price points that are simply unmatched in Broward County.
Family Value
Beyond the 55+ market, Tamarac offers excellent value for younger families. Proximity to Coral Springs (best schools in Broward) and Coconut Creek via careful neighborhood selection, combined with low housing prices, make it a compelling choice for budget-conscious families.
Location
Centrally positioned in Broward County, Tamarac offers easy access to I-95, the Turnpike, and the Sawgrass Expressway. Fort Lauderdale is 20 minutes; Boca Raton is 20 minutes; the beach is 25 minutes.
