The City of Parkland takes its name very seriously. This residential area is less inclined toward urbanization than other areas, and the nature-loving ape will thrive happily here. You can share your appreciation of Florida’s wetlands with the other 24,000 apes who call this area home and still be within a 40 minute drive to the Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and only 30 minutes from any number of Florida’s famous beaches.

For those looking for a relaxing place to live, the commute into the heart of Miami is 45 minutes to the south, and Palm Beach roughly the same to the north, making this a good place to look if you want a home with lots of green and elbow room, but don’t want to spend more time on the road than necessary to reach work and other resources.
