Parkland was established on August 13, 1963 and has quickly grown, and its strict zoning laws were designed to protect the “park-life” feel of the community. You aren’t going to find a ton of restaurants, bars, nightlife or even commercial buildings. Overall Parkland is the ideal location to have more land, a peaceful life especially in the busy hustle and bustle of South Florida.

Parkland does not have many stores or retail establishments but is a short distance to Coral Springs and other surrounding areas. Parkland is known for its many equestrian trails which are ideal for horseback riding. The city also has many golf courses.

Parkland tends to have homes with more land and bigger lots, many gated communities, single family homes, custom designed luxury single family homes, and townhomes. It is known for its great schools.

Parkland neighbors Boca Raton which is the southernmost city in West Palm Beach County. Parkland is 12.8 sq. miles and home to approximately 35,000 residents.

Parkland is close to 3 major international airports. It is 55 minutes to Miami, 3 hours to Orlando, and 1. 5 hours to Naples. It is close to the Sawgrass Expressway which borders the west side of the county right before the Florida Everglades. It is just 7 miles to the nearest beach in Boca Raton.
