Most of the county's fresh inventory is clustered in the western suburbs and a handful of master-planned pockets. D.R. Horton's Mainstreet community in Coconut Creek is a good example of where the volume is — walkable, amenity-rich townhomes and condos in a central location that didn't have much left to develop. Closer to the coast, in neighborhoods like Rio Vista and along Las Olas, new construction skews toward custom waterfront homes built to current hurricane code.

For buyers, the trade-off is straightforward. Broward gives you proximity to Fort Lauderdale, the beaches, the airport and the job centers of the tri-county region. What it asks in return is a higher price per square foot than you'd pay an hour north. The county-wide median for a new home sits around $640K, and that number stretches considerably once you move east toward the Intracoastal.

Why Broward County?

Broward asks more per square foot than its neighbors, but it answers with location — a county wired into the beaches, the airport, downtown Fort Lauderdale and the job markets of both Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. For buyers who want new construction without giving up that connectivity, the western suburbs and the coastal infill market are where the opportunities are.
