PEMBROKE PINES

Pembroke Pines is one of the most attractive family-friendly living hometown in Broward County. It is centrally located on the southern edge of Broward County between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The city took its name from its location along Pembroke Road and the many pine trees in the area. It was started by people seeking space to spread out. They discovered miles of country in the mid-1950′s, and began settling in what was then the distant country side of the seaside city of Hollywood. Once the eastern sections of Pembroke Pines became built-out the developers began constructing planned gated communities west of I-75 these communities are known as West Pembroke Pines. The city has more than 150,000 residents, making it one the most populated cities in Broward County.
