Parkland is dominated by prestigious gated communities including Heron Bay — one of South Florida's largest and most amenity-rich master-planned communities — along with Parkland Golf and Country Club, Parkland Isles, and dozens of others. Coral Springs adds more affordable options while sharing the same school district and lifestyle attributes.
