Built by Coral Ridge Properties on land it purchased from the Henry Lyons family in the 1960s, Coral Springs, Fl was incorporated as a city in July 1963. Located just 20 miles northwest of Ft. Lauderdale and part of the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale Metro area, Coral Springs was started as a planned community and is now a 24 square mile city with over 125,000 residents.
Coral Springs has an enviable reputation as a well-managed, family community with a variety of housing choices for young & young at heart alike, low crime statistics, highly rated schools & nearby highways for easy commuting to 
Miami, Ft. Lauderdale & Palm Beach county. Residents and visitors alike enjoy a city with established neighborhoods of mostly ranch style homes on large lots, plenty of lakes, parks and greenbelt areas, local and national restaurants, hospitals & medical offices, banking & other financial services, its own Center for the Arts, a destination regional mall (Coral Square Mall) & other area shopping centers and just a 30 minute commute to the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Not surprisingly, Coral Springs was named as the 27th best city in the US in 2006 by Money magazine and as the 44th best place to live in the US in 2010 by website www.cnnmoney.com. The city's continuing appeal & its residential built-out has put pressure on the median housing value, which now stands at $279,900, per realty website movoto.com.
