Living in MiraLago at Parkland, Parkland FL: Homes, Schools & Lifestyle

What Is for Sale and What Sold

Flexmls, pulled October 23, 2026 (residential, City Parkland, subdivision names containing MIRALAGO, CASCATA or TOWN PARC, including the spellings agents use such as Town Park, Mira Lago, DeBuys Plat and CC Homes). Four are active, all single-family and all marked resale, not new construction:

• MiraLago proper: $990,000 (4BR/3BA, built 2015, HOA $805 a month, 20 days listed) and $1,249,000 (4BR/3BA, built 2014, HOA $802, 176 days listed).

• Cascata at MiraLago: $1,179,000 (5BR/4BA, built 2018, HOA $743, 109 days listed) and $1,475,000 (built 2018, HOA $736, 370 days listed).

Three more are pending: $884,999 in MiraLago proper, and $1,749,900 and $2,500,000 in Cascata.

Closed sales, last 12 months (Flexmls Closed status, closings from November 11, 2025 through October 2, 2026). The three sections are different products, so I do not blend them:

About the price per square foot: it uses the MLS "building area" number, which can include garage and covered areas, not just living area. Not every listing reports it (16 of 17 in MiraLago proper, 16 of 20 in Cascata, 9 of 14 in TownParc). For example, the $1,475,000 Cascata listing shows 10,040 sq ft of building area against 4,622 sq ft of living area, so a price per square foot on that number would tell you nothing. Compare floor plans and living area, not just the number. One TownParc sale at $627,500 is coded single-family in the MLS but carries the TownParc name and the same 1,875 sq ft living area as the townhomes, so I counted it with TownParc.

What this tells you: Cascata and MiraLago proper homes mostly sold in about a month (21 of 37 closed in 30 days or less). TownParc townhomes took much longer, with 7 of 14 needing 100 days or more. A long time on the market is a clue, not proof of a wrong price. It can also be condition, lot position, a tenant in place or timing. The active listings at 109, 176 and 370 days are worth a closer look, but compare each one to sold homes with similar living area, lot and condition before you call any of them overpriced. And a listing can read "lake view" and still back to another house, so confirm the actual lot: wide lake, partial or point view, or interior.

Separate Associations, One Address

MiraLago is a Lennar community. Lennar started developing it in 2014, and in September 2016 CC Homes bought 28 home lots from Lennar there (South Florida Agent Magazine, September 2, 2016). Those homes show up in the MLS as "MiraLago - CC Homes." The pieces you will see on listings are:

• MiraLago at Parkland (single-family, the original section).

• Cascata at MiraLago (single-family, newer, closed sales built 2017 to 2022).

• Town Parc at MiraLago (townhomes, built 2014 to 2016).

The City of Parkland's Homeowners Associations directory (cityofparkland.org, Homeowners Associations page, listed as updated October 2026) has four entries for this area: MiraLago at Parkland, MiraLago Estates, Cascata at Miralago Neighborhood Association and Town Parc at Miralago. Ask which association governs the home you like, and confirm its current contact details with the City of Parkland. Separate associations mean separate budgets, rules and fees, which is why the HOA numbers below differ by section. Whether Cascata and TownParc owners share the MiraLago clubhouse, and what that costs, is something to get in writing. Some broker pages say they do, so confirm it with the association.

Amenities: on all four active listings the MLS marks a gate with guard (or gated), a clubhouse, a pool and a fitness center, and most add tennis, a spa and a sauna. Those are listing entries, not the association's own amenity page, so ask the association for the current list, hours and guest rules. Broker pages also describe Lake Majesty as about 240 acres.

Is it new construction? What the MLS shows (October 23, 2026): none of the four active homes is marked new construction, none is builder-owned inventory, and the newest closed sale was built in 2022. If anyone tells you there are new Lennar homes here, ask for the builder's current availability in writing and check it against the MLS the same day.

Getting Around: Beach, Airport and Daily Trips

Driving miles from the Nob Hill Road side of the community, routed with OpenStreetMap data on October 23, 2026. Times are estimates without traffic. I measured from the road frontage, not the guardhouse door, so add a minute or two inside the gates.

Health care: Broward Health Coral Springs has a 24-hour emergency department (browardhealth.org, checked October 23, 2026). Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston has an emergency room at 3100 Weston Road and an Express Care clinic at 2950 Cleveland Clinic Blvd open 8 AM to 8 PM, seven days (City of Weston resource page). An emergency room and an urgent care are not the same thing: for chest pain or a serious injury, call 911 and go to an ER.

Schools

MiraLago is in Broward County Public Schools. All 12 addresses I sampled across MiraLago, MiraLago Estates, Cascata and TownParc (Lakeside Bend, Edgewater Court, Lakeview Trail, Lake Vista Court, Waves Way, Waterside Court, Town Parc Circle, Passage Way, Waterview Way, Lakeview Place, Estuary Drive and Miralago Way) fall in the same zones: Park Trails Elementary, Westglades Middle School and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (Broward County GIS school boundary layer, 2025-26 edition, last updated March 2026, checked 2026-10-23, sampled 12 addresses). Broward County Public Schools approved boundary changes for 2026-27; confirm your exact address with the district's school locator. Driving miles from the Nob Hill Road frontage: Park Trails Elementary (10700 Trails End) 2.1, Westglades Middle (11000 Holmberg Road) 3.4, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High (5901 Pine Island Road) 3.1.

Assignment depends on the exact address and school year. Check the address you are buying at the Broward County Public Schools locator at browardschools.com (or call Demographics and Enrollment Planning at 754-321-2565), and do not assume the closest school is the assigned one: Heron Heights Elementary at 11010 Nob Hill Road is about 1.4 miles away but is not the zoned school for the addresses I checked. Choice and application programs are separate from address assignment.

Private and charter options listed by the City of Parkland (cityofparkland.org, Schools page): Mary Help of Christians Catholic School, 6000 University Drive (K-8), and Somerset Parkland Academy, 8401 N University Drive (K-8). Ask each school directly about admissions and current grades.

Costs of Owning: HOA, Taxes and Insurance

HOA, first, by section (Flexmls, October 23, 2026):

• MiraLago proper: active listings show $802 and $805 a month. Closed single-family sales over the last 12 months show about $685 to $809, with most near $805.

• Cascata: active listings show $736 and $743 a month. Closed sales show $680 to $743, with most at $743. One closed listing shows $443.81, which I would not rely on.

• TownParc: closed townhome sales show $656 to $705 a month.

One listing says the fee covers grounds maintenance; the MLS does not give a full list. Ask the association for the budget and what the fee covers, plus reserves and any special assessment.

Property taxes and insurance are separate bills. For scale, the $1,249,000 listing at 9751 Lakeview Lane shows 2025 taxes of $16,230 on the listing. The City of Parkland's proposed FY2026 millage was 4.2979 mills, unchanged from the year before (Parkland Talk, July 10, 2025); your total bill adds county, school and other districts, so check the Broward County Property Appraiser (bcpa.net) for the exact address. The listing data mentions no CDD; ask the association and the appraiser whether any special-district charge applies. Get an insurance quote on the exact address before you offer.

Before You Offer

1. Get the association financials in writing for the right association: budget, reserves, any pending assessment, rules on rentals, pets and vehicles.
2. Confirm the section and the lot: lake position, interior, or backing to a neighbor. It drives price and resale.
3. Check the roof, A/C and water heater ages. Homes here were built from 2014 to 2022, so ages vary by section.
4. Order a full professional home inspection. Add a WDO (termite) inspection. A wind mitigation report and a four-point inspection are insurance reports, not replacements for a home inspection, and not every insurer asks for them. If the home has a pool or screen enclosure, inspect those separately.
5. Compare to the sold prices in the same section above, not to asking prices and not to a different section.
