Parkland Homes for Sale

Parkland, Florida, is a city in Broward County. Its name originated from the fact that it has a “park-like” atmosphere that’s protected by zoning laws. Parkland has over 30,000 people, which reflects its homey, small-town environment. Though it’s a small city, it has a fairly high percentage of people who telecommute: about 11 percent.

Since Parkland is known for its park environment, it’s common to see many residents engaged in outdoor recreational activities. Pine Trails Park is where you’ll see lots of families because it’s the most popular park in town. It’s no surprise why many people like it; there’s so much to do in the park. It has sports fields and courts, concessions, a playground, barbecue grills, a pavilion, open space areas and meeting rooms.
