Neighborhood Overview
About Heron Bay
Heron Bay is Parkland's largest master-planned development — a collection of multiple guard-gated sub-communities sprawling across western Parkland with resort-quality amenities, immaculate landscaping, and full access to the Parkland school cluster including Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. While PGCC is more exclusive and golf-centric, Heron Bay is more diverse in its offerings — from entry-level Parkland pricing into the mid-$600Ks to multi-million dollar lake estates — making it the accessible entry point into Parkland's extraordinary quality of life.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Heron Bay and Parkland Golf & Country Club?
PGCC is smaller, more exclusive, and golf-centric with the highest entry price in Parkland. Heron Bay is larger, more diverse in price point and community character, and offers entry-level Parkland access. Both have the same extraordinary school feeding (MSD High, Westglades, Riverglades) and the same safety profile. PGCC is the aspirational pinnacle; Heron Bay provides the Parkland experience at more accessible price points.
