Where to Go, What to See
If you’re home shopping in Pembroke Pines this weekend, you’ve got options and not just on the real estate front. We’ve pulled together three open houses worth stepping into and matched them up with local events nearby, because let’s be honest: house hunting is better with holiday snacks, local art, and maybe a photo op with a dog dressed like Santa.
3 Open House Picks
14212 NW 23rd St
Area 3180 | 4BR / 3BA | $950,000
Saturday, Dec 13 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Big house, clean location, and early enough that you can hit a second stop before lunch. This one’s priced like a move up home and looks the part. Worth checking out if you're shopping in the $900s and want more than builder beige.862 SW 176th Ave
Area 3990 | 3BR / 2BA | $789,000
Saturday, Dec 13 from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
West of I-75, not too deep into the sprawl. Nice layout, and price is sitting just below the mental $800K line, which usually pulls more interest. Could be a sleeper value.1620 NW 118th Ave
Area 3180 | 4BR / 2BA | $749,000
Sunday, Dec 14 from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Sunday showing, solid mid range price, and a layout that fits the "move in ready but not over upgraded" category. If you're looking for something livable now with room to improve later, this could be a good target.

A slower paced alternative to the typical weekend noise. Artists Lisu Vega and Sibel Kocabasi will be talking about their work and walking guests through two layered, thoughtful exhibitions. If you're even mildly into fiber arts, memory, or material culture, go.Santa Paws at Petland
356 N University Dr
Saturday, Dec 13 from 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Yes, it’s holiday photos with your dog. Yes, there will be puppies. No, you don’t need to have a dog to show up and smile awkwardly at someone else's tiny sweatered chihuahua. Festive and low stakes fun for a mid day break.
