Encantada Is What a Neighborhood Should Feel Like

Encantada Doesn’t Just Look Good. It Works

Encantada doesn’t need buzzwords.

It’s just one of those places where the homes are solid, the palm trees are tall, and the people who live there… tend to stay.

Tucked west of I-75 off Pines Blvd, this guard gated community has been part of the Pembroke Pines fabric for decades and it still sets the bar for what a well rounded neighborhood should be.

What Makes it Stands Out

• Guard Gated, 7 Days a Week
  Real security not just a keypad or callbox. There’s a staffed guardhouse at the entry, and the entire layout feels calm and tucked away from through-traffic.

• Tropical Landscaping That’s Actually Mature
  You won’t find baby palms or barren new builds here. The streets are lined with grown trees, gardens, and landscaping that feels more like a neighborhood park than a HOA brochure.

• Spacious Homes with Personality
  Most homes here are 4 to 6 bedrooms, many with pools, water views, and thoughtful floor plans built before “open concept” meant knocking out every wall. These are homes built to live in, not flip.

• Top-Tier School Zoning
  Families here are zoned for Panther Run Elementary, Silver Trail Middle, and West Broward High, some of the most sought after public schools in the county.

• Surrounded by Nature + Convenience
  A few minutes from Chapel Trail Nature Preserve, CB Smith Park, and I-75 access. Grocery runs, soccer practice, and Sunday walks all feel close — because they are.

Market Context: The Rarity of Encantada Listings

Want to know how in demand Encantada is right now?

As of this week, there are zero active listings in the community in the MLS data we reviewed.

That’s not an error, it’s a reflection of how few homeowners are choosing to sell here, and how quickly homes tend to move when they do.

Over the past few months, listings in Encantada have shown up quietly, priced in the $900Ks to low $1Ms, and many go under contract without sitting long.

If you’re trying to buy here, you’re going to need eyes on the neighborhood not just Zillow alerts.

Insider Tip

Encantada doesn’t see a ton of turnover and when homes do hit the market, they tend to go quiet before they go quick.

If you’re keeping an eye out, talk to someone who knows the neighborhood (or the people in it).

Off market deals are more common than you’d think.
