About
Coral Ridge Properties began laying out Coral Springs in 1963 on former bean farms and cattle land, and the covered bridge its developers built as an early landmark still stands as the Historic Covered Bridge. Arterials such as Sample Road and University Drive form a large square grid, and inside each square curving residential streets loop around lakes and canals at the edge of the Everglades. The Sportsplex, the Florida Panthers IceDen, the Center for the Arts and the Museum of Art give the city its sports and arts venues, while mixed-use projects such as Cornerstone have reshaped downtown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and investing in this area
What is Coral Springs known for?
Coral Springs is a planned city on the Everglades side of Broward County, first laid out in 1963 and known for tree-covered streets around lakes and canals and for its parks and sports facilities.
What types of properties are available in Coral Springs?
Single-family subdivisions, mostly built from the 1970s through the 1990s on typical suburban lots, make up much of the city. Townhouses add to the mix, along with a large stock of condominiums, most of them built before the late 1990s.
What amenities and landmarks does Coral Springs offer?
The Sportsplex, with its fields, courts and paved trails, sits beside the Aquatic Complex, a Tennis Center and the Florida Panthers IceDen. The Center for the Arts stages performances and the Museum of Art mounts exhibitions. Tall Cypress Natural Area protects 66 acres of cypress swamp and pine flatwoods, and the Historic Covered Bridge survives from the city's early years.
What should buyers check before purchasing in Coral Springs?
In older condominium buildings of three or more stories, ask for the milestone inspection reports and review the reserve funding and any special assessments. Check the roof's age and get a wind-mitigation report for insurance, and for homes near the Sawgrass Expressway, factor in several years of widening and interchange work.
How do residents get around Coral Springs?
The Sawgrass Expressway, Sample Road, University Drive and Coral Springs Drive carry most trips, and the city has no rail station of its own. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about 35 to 40 minutes by car without traffic, and the nearest Brightline stations are in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton.
