Welcome to The Corals (Coral Heights and Coral Woods)
Access to the beach, various downtowns and cultural hotspots aplenty, all with a cozy neighborhood vibe.
Ah, The Corals. In assessing where to live in Broward County and, specifically, east of I-95 you’ll see a handful of neighborhood options with Coral in their name. Among them, Coral Heights and Coral Woods are historically stellar options, with single-family homes aplenty spanning the brand new to tastefully restored spectrum.
Both neighborhoods are part of Oakland Park. Coral Heights is geographically situated south of Floranada Road down to Northeast 38th Street, with Northeast 12th Terrace and Northeast 20th Avenue generally serving as the east-west borders. Coral Woods is a smaller neighborhood bordered by Northeast 38th Street to the north down to Oakland Park Boulevard south, with Northeast 18th Avenue and Northeast 20th Avenue as its east-west boundaries. Between them both, are approximately 350 total residences that may just be primed for you and yours.
What to Love
Local Lifestyle
Between Coral Heights and Coral Woods, there are approximately 1,000 residents. If a tranquil oasis in the heart of it all is what you seek, the options abound. Beyond a couple of quaint lakes in the Coral Heights neighborhood, the landscape here is dotted with mature palms and generally yards with stately hedges. Beyond the neighborhoods’ confines, Jaco Pastorius Park is within five minutes. On the average day, it has a walking/sidewalk track for locals to enjoy as well as an interactive water feature at its entrance that’s a hit with the kids. The park also regularly hosts community events like an annual Latin Fest and Oktoberfest.
