Real Acreage Living Inside Plantation Florida's City Limits

Last Updated July 2026

One of the top reasons people live in Plantation Acres is the land itself. It's one of the more popular communities in Broward County because of the lot sizes and its proximity to Fort Lauderdale — you don't have to go as far west to get this kind of acreage. Whether you're selling a Plantation Acres property or searching for one, pricing and positioning here comes down to lot size, equestrian features, and custom improvements more than in most Plantation neighborhoods. As a Plantation resident for more than 22 years and a real estate agent licensed since 1996, I understand exactly how those factors affect value in this specific community.

About Plantation Acres

Plantation Acres is located in northwestern Plantation, extending between Hiatus Road to the east and Flamingo Road to the west, from I-595 to the south and north to NW 28th Court, which sits north of Sunrise Boulevard. Sunrise Boulevard runs through the heart of the community, providing easy access in and out.

The community's roots go back to 1963, when a developer started with 2,000 acres and spent half a million dollars building 25 miles of roads and canals — dirt and rock roads at the time, accessible only by a bridge from State Road 84. Original lots of one to five acres sold for just $100 down, with 60 monthly payments of $46.32 at 6% interest. That original offering shaped the community that exists today: Plantation Acres grew with horse lovers and families who wanted a genuinely rural lifestyle, and it has held onto that character ever since.

What Makes Plantation Acres Different

Real acreage inside city limits — Most of Plantation Acres consists of one-acre or larger single-family estates, with some half-acre and one-third-acre sections as well. That's genuinely rare this close to the rest of Plantation's amenities and infrastructure.

A governed improvement district, not just an HOA — Plantation Acres is overseen by the Plantation Acres Improvement District, known as PAID, a governmental special district with its own commissioners focused on preserving the community's rural character — roads, canals, and infrastructure — rather than architectural review or mandatory landscaping rules.

A working equestrian community — Horse farms and the Plantation Acres Saddle Club, a nonprofit that has supported the community's equestrian culture for decades, are still active here. The Plantation Equestrian Center serves as the club's home base.

Genuine size and price variety — With homes currently ranging from the mid $500,000s to well over $5,000,000, Plantation Acres accommodates a wide range of buyers, from families wanting space and a horse property to buyers seeking a true luxury estate.

Homes and Real Estate in Plantation Acres

Homes in Plantation Acres vary considerably in age, size, and style, reflecting more than six decades of individual, largely custom development across the community's one-acre-plus lots. Recent sales activity shows homes trading at an average price point well above $1,000,000, with the community's largest properties reaching well beyond 12,000 square feet.

Buyers here are typically comparing Plantation Acres against similar acreage options in Davie and Southwest Ranches, and choosing this community for the land, the lifestyle flexibility, and the proximity to Plantation's city infrastructure that those alternatives simply cannot match.

Current Price Range: $545,000 to $5,499,000

Plantation Acres Market Insights

Homes in Plantation Acres are currently priced from approximately $545,000 to $5,499,000, one of the widest price spreads of any Plantation neighborhood, reflecting everything from smaller acreage lots to full luxury estates. Recent sales activity shows homes trading at an average price point well above $1,000,000, with the community's largest properties reaching beyond 12,000 square feet. Because lot size, equestrian improvements, and custom build quality vary so much from one property to the next, pricing here cannot be reduced to a simple per-square-foot number the way it can in a typical subdivision. If you want to know where your specific property falls in that range, that's worth a direct conversation before you list.

Amenities and Community Features

Plantation Acres' defining amenity is the land itself — acre-plus lots with room for horses, secondary structures, and genuine privacy. The Plantation Acres Saddle Club and the Plantation Equestrian Center give residents an active hub for the community's horse culture, and PAID maintains the district's roads and canals, preserving the rural infrastructure that sets this neighborhood apart from the rest of Plantation.

Schools Near Plantation Acres

Central Park Elementary, which serves Plantation Acres, is a public school in the Broward County School District. As with any neighborhood, school zone boundaries can be precise down to the street level and shift over time, so I'd recommend verifying the exact zoned elementary, middle, and high school for a specific Plantation Acres address through the Broward County school locator.

Location and Accessibility

Sunrise Boulevard runs through the heart of Plantation Acres, providing easy access in and out of the community. Despite its rural character, Plantation Acres sits within reach of I-595 and the rest of Plantation's shopping, dining, and highway infrastructure — the combination of acreage living and city convenience is a big part of the neighborhood's appeal.

Shopping and Dining Near Plantation Acres

Plantation Acres' location in northwestern Plantation puts residents within a reasonable drive of the city's main shopping and dining corridors, along the Sawgrass Mills area and University Drive, while still offering the rural buffer that draws buyers to the neighborhood in the first place.
