Alhambra: Tranquility at Its Best

Looking for Calm?

In a city full of busy boulevards and growing subdivisions, Alhambra offers something rare: stillness.

Tucked away in west Pembroke Pines, this small, guard gated community of just 136 homes was built for people who don’t need flash, just peace, privacy, and a place that feels like home.

Developed in the late ‘90s, Alhambra is a quiet enclave where neighbors know each other, kids can bike without panic, and sunsets over the preserve hit different. It’s not big. It’s not flashy. But it is the kind of place people stay for years.

What It’s Like

• Home Sizes:
  Single family homes in 3–5 bedroom layouts, from 1,900 to just under 3,000 sqft under air with single story and two story options available.

• The Vibe:
  Laid back, neighborly, and quiet. Many homes back up to the nature preserve, giving homeowners that rare privacy you just don’t get with other neighborhoods.

• Security:
  A 24/7 guard gated entrance gives the whole community peace of mind , especially for families, snowbirds, and anyone who travels often.

• The Location:
  Just south of Pines Blvd, between 196th and 202nd Avenue. You’re far enough west for quiet, close enough east for convenience.

• Nearby Schools:
  Zoned for some of Pembroke Pines’ best rated public schools, with charter and private options close by.

Local Perks

• Living in Alhambra also gives you access to Alhambra Park, a peaceful public space perfect for weekend hangouts, birthdays, or an afternoon walk.

  Features include:

  • Shaded pavilions

  • Picnic areas and BBQ grills

  • Walking trails

  • Plenty of space to just breathe

  And when you want more? You’re close to larger parks like Chapel Trail Nature Preserve and C.B. Smith Park, plus a short drive to Miami or Fort Lauderdale for beaches, dining, or nightlife.

Insider Tip

Alhambra listings are rare. With only 136 homes and low turnover, they don’t pop up often, and when they do, they move fast (especially the preserve view lots).

If you see something under $700K, well-maintained, and facing the preserve? Don’t wait.
