Better Living for a better tomorrow

Pembroke Pines Florida

When we hear a name like Pembroke Pines, Florida, we might think most immediately of a sleepy, squeaky with crickets and frogs retirement community. Well, we’d be partially right. Pembroke Pines, Florida is highly accessible as a community for older citizens—with emphasis on activities, services, and events such as antiques and collectibles shows, university classes, and advanced facilities at such places as The Southwest Focal Point Senior Center. But in the same respect, this sizeable municipality in Broward County is home to thirty-somethings (the average age at Pembroke Pines being 36.5), kids, families, and individuals, living in apartments, single-family homes, dorms, and other swellings, as well. In other words, the city of Pembroke Pines, Florida brings with it multiple meanings of the phrase, “a place to settle.”

The tenth-largest city in the state, Pembroke Pines, Florida has a population of 137,427. The average temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees; and the average income is between 40k and 60k, while the average real estate value is in a range of $100,000 to $200,000.

A number of schools and colleges are established in Pembroke Pines, Florida, among them Bright Beginnings Pre-school, Chesterbrook Academy, Charter Elementary School, Charles W. Flanigan High School, Keiser College, and Florida International University.

The arts thrive in Pembroke Pines, Florida, with an arts festival held annually in the River of Grass Arts Park on Sheridan Street; seasonal theatre; and artist shows, art competitions, and themed exhibits year round at the Glass Gallery on Pines Boulevard.

The Pembroke Parks and Recreation Center is home to sports, activities, and events for residents of all diversities and specializes in programs for people with disabilities, for example, offering everything from wheelchair basketball, bowling, and adult socials, to Special Olympics games and arts and crafts.

International cuisine is an understatement in this city, where at almost any hour one can find a bagel, a donut, a burger, Cuban food, Mexican food, Japanese food, and a range of meals and deals—from pizza to poppers, from ice cream to Italian ices.

Health care and fitness programs abound here, as do sports and entertainment venues. After a day on the greens at the Family Golf Center, your group can hit the many fine shops, take to the coast to Dania, Golden, or Sunny Isles Beach, take in a concert at the famous Sportatorium, or take a short jaunt to find entertainment galore in Fort Lauderdale, less than fifty miles away by I95.

From youth programs and summer camp to creative writing and dance and gardening classes to basketball and Bingo… Pembroke Pines, Florida is no slouch in the world of places to live, vacation, play, and/or stay—for anyone of any age.
