Dade County
Dade County offers a lifestyle defined by energy, culture, and convenience. Walkable dining, coastal living, boutique shopping, and top universities like UM and FIU. I’ve highlighted three key communities I serve (Coral Gables, Brickell, and Miami Beach), but my roots in Dade County run deep. I grew up in the Dadeland area from early childhood through high school, lived there again as an adult, and still have family throughout the county. I know these neighborhoods because I’ve lived them, and that insight helps my clients make smarter, more confident decisions.
Coral Gables
Coral Gables is known for its Mediterranean Revival architecture, lush tree canopies, and a lifestyle built around walkability, fine dining, culture, and historic charm.
Fun fact: the city was one of the first fully master-planned communities in the U.S., designed in the 1920s to blend beauty, symmetry, and long-term real estate value. That early vision still drives demand today, making Coral Gables one of South Florida’s most enduring luxury markets.
Brickell
Brickell is Miami’s financial hub, offering a fast-paced, urban lifestyle with luxury high-rises, world-class dining, waterfront views, and a true live-work-play environment.
Fun fact: Brickell has one of the highest concentrations of international banks in the United States, which helped drive its transformation into a premier vertical luxury market. Today, its skyline and real estate values reflect that global influence.
Miami Beach
Miami Beach delivers an iconic coastal lifestyle—white-sand beaches, Art Deco architecture, world-class hotels, nightlife, and a vibrant cultural scene.
Fun fact: Miami Beach is home to the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world, a design legacy that continues to shape its real estate appeal. Its blend of oceanfront living, history, and luxury makes it one of South Florida’s most recognizable and desirable markets.
Broward County
Fort Lauderdale anchors Broward County with its Intracoastal waterways and yachting culture—earning its reputation as the “Venice of America.” Beyond the coast, Broward delivers suburban ease, strong schools, and a broad mix of parks, golf courses, shopping, and dining. Universities like Nova Southeastern, FAU’s Davie campus, and Broward College add meaningful academic and community depth.
I focus on Weston, Parkland, and Deerfield Beach, but my connection to Broward is personal. I completed high school here and later raised my daughter in Weston, giving me a practical understanding of how these communities truly live.
Weston
Weston is known for its master-planned design, top-ranked schools, extensive parks, and a calm, family-focused lifestyle.
Fun fact: Weston was intentionally built with over 2,000 acres of lakes and green space, creating one of the most visually consistent and well-maintained suburban environments in South Florida. Its strong community planning and stable real estate values continue to make it a top choice for buyers seeking long-term quality of life.
Parkland
Parkland is known for its upscale, residential feel, large homes, gated communities, golf courses, top-rated schools, and a quiet, nature-driven lifestyle.
Fun fact: Parkland was originally developed with strict zoning codes that limited commercial growth to preserve its “park-like” atmosphere. That planning approach created one of the most desirable luxury suburban markets in South Florida, with strong demand and long-term real estate stability.
Deerfield Beach
Deerfield Beach offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle with a highly regarded Blue Wave–certified beach, a vibrant fishing pier, and easy access to both Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale.
Fun fact: Deerfield Beach earned national recognition for its water quality and environmental standards, making it one of the cleanest and most well-maintained beaches in South Florida. Its mix of affordability, waterfront living, and strong community amenities keeps demand steady year-round.
Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County sets the standard for luxury living, iconic Worth Avenue shopping, world-class dining, premier waterfront and golf communities, and the elite polo and equestrian lifestyle in Wellington. With strong schools and universities like FAU, Lynn, Palm Beach State, and the upcoming Vanderbilt campus, the area blends prestige with long-term stability.
I serve Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Wellington, and living in Parkland keeps me closely connected to Palm Beach County’s neighborhoods. I spend significant time there, giving me real insight into how these communities live.
Boca Raton
Boca Raton delivers a refined lifestyle anchored by luxury shopping, pristine beaches, golf and country club communities, and top-rated schools.
Fun fact: Boca’s signature Mediterranean and Spanish Revival architecture was shaped by Addison Mizner, whose master planning set the tone for the city’s upscale aesthetic and long-term real estate value. Today, Boca remains one of South Florida’s most sought-after markets for buyers seeking sophistication and stability.
Delray Beach
Delray Beach delivers a vibrant, coastal lifestyle with a walkable downtown, art galleries, award-winning restaurants, and a lively social scene centered around Atlantic Avenue. It blends small-town charm with boutique luxury and strong community pride.
Fun fact: Delray Beach has twice been named an “All-America City,” a national recognition for outstanding civic engagement and quality of life—one of the reasons its real estate market remains consistently in demand.
Wellington
Wellington is known for its upscale suburban lifestyle, top-rated schools, and beautifully planned neighborhoods, but it’s the world-class equestrian scene that sets it apart. From polo to international riding competitions, Wellington attracts global attention every season.
Fun fact: Wellington hosts the Winter Equestrian Festival, the longest-running equestrian event in the world, which has helped shape the area into a premier luxury real estate market with strong year-round demand.
Weston and Parkland are two of South Florida’s most sought-after communities. Known for safety, top-tier schools, strong value retention, and a lifestyle that appeals to families, executives, and long-term investors. I’ve lived in both counties and know these areas from real life, not research. Below, explore what makes each city stand out and why so many buyers choose to call them home.
Parkland Golf & Country Club
Parkland Golf & Country Club delivers a luxury lifestyle with resort-style amenities, a Greg Norman–designed golf course, well-planned neighborhoods, and access to top-tier schools. Few communities offer this level of comfort, beauty, and connection.
I live in Parkland, so my understanding of PGCC comes from real experience, how each enclave lives, what drives demand, and what positions a home competitively. That perspective allows me to market and advise with credibility.
If you’re considering a move in or out of PGCC, I can provide straightforward, experience-based guidance to help you make confident decisions.
Weston Hills
Weston Hills stands out as one of Weston’s premier gated communities, with impeccably maintained neighborhoods, two championship golf courses, top-rated schools, and an upscale, family-focused lifestyle. Its thoughtful design and strong community culture make it one of Broward County’s most sought-after places to live.
I raising my daughter in Weston, which gives me a real understanding of how the neighborhoods functions and how the local schools support long-term success. That background helps me offer guidance that’s grounded in actual lived experience.
If you’re weighing a move in or out of Weston Hills, I can deliver a clear perspective and a focused plan that aligns with the dynamics of this community.
