New construction & pre-construction homes — Broward County
Cooper City — Family-First New Construction in the Heart of Broward
Cooper City has long had a reputation as one of Broward's best-kept secrets — a small, tight-knit community with exceptional schools, low crime, and a suburban quality of life that's genuinely hard to replicate at this price point. In recent years, new construction has brought modern homes and master-planned communities to a city that previously offered mostly resale inventory, and buyers have taken notice.
Lennar's Riverstone community is the anchor new construction development here, offering families a resort-lifestyle experience — pools, clubhouse, sports courts, and a real sense of community — in a location that's both convenient to major employment centers and removed from the noise of South Florida's busier corridors.
Cooper City's school system is a major draw. The city sits within the Broward County school district but consistently produces some of the highest-rated schools in the county — a fact that's not lost on families doing their homework before choosing where to buy.
