Margate Elementary School

It's an established, family-friendly pocket of central Broward with a solid cluster of schools including Margate Middle School nearby. Pools are common — 87 of the 184 active listings have one — and the streets are quiet and mature. It suits buyers who want practical, single-story living with quick access across the county.

Not by South Florida standards — the median list price is $180,300 and the median sold price over the last year was $360,000. There are no $1M+ listings active, and prices start as low as $1,000 for entry-level units, so this is one of the more accessible zones in the area. You can compare current inventory on the live map.

Active listings average $231 per square foot, and the median home size is a compact 970 square feet, which points to a lot of smaller homes and condos in the mix. Prices range from $1,000 up to $714,000 depending on size, condition, and whether the home has water or a pool. Recent sales settled at a median of $360,000.

There are 184 active listings and 137 homes sold over the past 12 months, so supply is healthy relative to demand. Homes take a median of 90.5 days to sell and sellers are averaging 96% of their asking price — meaning buyers have genuine negotiating leverage. It's a measured market, not a frenzy.

Median property tax in the zone runs about $3,035 a year, which is modest for Broward County. HOA data isn't consistently reported here since much of the housing is non-association, though 9 active listings are in gated communities where dues would apply. If renting is the comparison, the median rent is around $2,000 a month.
