WHAT MAKES THE LANDINGS SPECIAL
Tucked into the heart of West Pembroke Pines, The Landings doesn’t scream for attention. It doesn’t need to.
With 441 homes, a mix of single family residences and townhomes, this gated community has quietly built a reputation for stability, strong resale value, and that rare blend of space, amenities and location.
If you want West Pines convenience without jumping into ultra luxury pricing, this is a neighborhood worth knowing.
Let’s break it down.
LOCATION & LAYOUT: Central Pines Convenience Without the Gate
The Landings sits on the north side of Pembroke Road, west of S. Palm Avenue, tucked between major corridors but with only local traffic running through the community. You're in central Pembroke Pines with everything you need within a 5–10 minute drive.
What's nearby:
I-75 access: 5–7 minutes via Pines Boulevard (perfect for commuters heading north or south)
Memorial Hospital West: 2.5 miles (7-minute drive)
Pembroke Lakes Mall: 5 minutes
CB Smith Park: 5 minutes (aquatic complex, camping, trails, playgrounds)
Publix, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Starbucks: All within 5–7 minutes
Pines Boulevard dining and shopping: 5 minutes
Translation: You're minutes from everything, shopping, dining, healthcare, parks, and major highways.
The community itself has roughly 400+ homes, so it feels like a self contained neighborhood rather than a massive master planned development. Streets are wide, landscaping is mature (30+ years of growth), and the layout encourages that "neighbors wave at each other" vibe that's becoming harder to find in South Florida.
THE HOMES: Solid Mid 90s Single Family Construction
The Landings includes both detached single family homes and townhomes, giving buyers flexibility based on budget and lifestyle.
What you’ll typically find:
Single-Family Homes
3–4 bedrooms (some larger layouts)
Approx. 1,700–2,500+ sq ft
2–3 bathrooms
2-car garages (most homes)
Private backyards
Open layouts with family rooms and formal areas
Many updated kitchens and baths
Some lakefront properties
Townhomes
2–3 bedrooms
Efficient layouts
Smaller outdoor space or patio
Lower price entry point into the community
Access to shared amenities
Many homes have been updated over the years with:
Quartz or granite countertops
Stainless steel appliances
Tile or laminate flooring
Renovated primary bathrooms
Impact windows or accordion shutters
Current price ranges (early 2026 market observation):
Townhomes: Mid $400Ks–Low $500Ks
Single family homes: Mid $500Ks–High $700Ks depending on size, lake view, and upgrades
Translation: You get gated living, community amenities, and real square footage without pushing into the $900K+ territory of nearby luxury neighborhoods.
WHAT THE HOA COVERS
HOA fees vary depending on whether you’re in a townhome or single family section, but generally remain reasonable compared to newer West Pines communities.
What you’re typically paying for:
Gated entry & controlled access
Community pool
Tennis court
Clubhouse
Landscaping of common areas
Maintenance of shared amenities
Management & security oversight
For townhomes, exterior maintenance may also be included depending on section.
Translation: You’re getting amenities and security without $700–$1,000/month HOA fees seen in some newer master planned communities.
DAILY LIFE HERE: Real Neighborhood Feel
Community vibe:
Mature trees and established landscaping (30+ years of growth)
Wide streets with sidewalks (walkable, family-friendly)
Long term homeowners who take pride in their properties
Neighbors who wave, kids who play outside, lawns that are maintained voluntarily
Low traffic (only residents and local traffic, no cut through routes)
Nearby amenities:
CB Smith Park: 5 minutes (aquatic complex, trails, camping, picnic areas)
Pembroke Lakes Mall: 5 minutes (shopping, dining, entertainment)
Memorial Hospital West: 7 minutes
Pines Boulevard dining corridor: 5 minutes (chains and local favorites)
Translation: You're not paying for amenities you may never use, but you're also not isolated. Everything you need is a short drive away, and the neighborhood itself has that "people stay put" stability.
THE SCHOOL ZONE ADVANTAGE: Solid Public School Options
The Landings is typically zoned for well regarded Pembroke Pines schools (verify with Broward County Public Schools, as boundaries can change:
Silver Palms Elementary
Walter C. Young Middle
Flanagan High School
Broward County also offers school choice options and access to charter programs through the district’s application system.
Translation: School zoning is one of the drivers of demand in this area and helps support resale stability.
Note: School boundaries and ratings are subject to change. Verify current zoning and school assignments directly with the Broward County School Board before making purchasing decisions.
WHO THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR
The Landings makes sense for:
Move up buyers leaving condos
Buyers needing 3–4 bedrooms
Buyers who want gated security but still want a yard
Remote workers needing home office space
Buyers who value stability over flash
Those wanting West Pines without ultra luxury pricing
Who this is NOT for:
Buyers seeking brand new construction
Those wanting ultra modern luxury finishes
Anyone who dislikes HOA rules
Buyers who want zero maintenance responsibility (single family homes still require upkeep)
THE NUMBERS: What it Costs to Live Here
Let’s say you’re buying a single family home at $650,000.
Purchase Price: $650,000
Down Payment (20%): $130,000
Loan Amount: $520,000
Interest Rate: 6.2% (approximate current market average)
Estimated Monthly Breakdown:
Principal & Interest: $3,185
Property Taxes (1.2% est.): $650/month
HOA: $200–$300
Homeowners Insurance: $300–$400
Estimated Total Monthly: $4,335–$4,535
Income requirement (28% front-end ratio): Approx. $185K–$195K household income
Translation: This is firmly upper middle tier Pines pricing but still below luxury neighborhoods in Weston or newer gated estates.
MARKET CONTEXT: Why The Landings Holds Value
The Landings works because it sits in the middle:
Not entry level.
Not luxury.
Not new.
Not outdated.
It’s balanced.
Why it holds value:
Gated security
Established community with 441 homes
Mix of product types (broad buyer pool)
Strong school zoning
Central West Pines location
Real yards plus real garages
Homes that are updated and priced correctly move quickly. Overpriced listings linger. It’s a rational, steady market not a speculative one.
INSIDER TIP: Lake Lots and Renovated Kitchens
If you’re buying here, prioritize:
Lakefront lots (always command stronger resale)
Renovated kitchens (buyers in this price range expect them)
2 car garage homes over 1 car (noticeable resale difference)
Well maintained original homes with strong bones if you’re willing to update
For townhomes:
Look for corner units with extra light and guest parking nearby.
THE TAKEAWAY
The Landings isn’t trying to be Monterra. It’s not competing with $1M estate homes.
And that’s exactly why it works.
You get:
Gated living
Real square footage
Solid schools
West Pines location
Manageable HOA
Long-term stability
It’s one of those communities that doesn’t trend it endures.
If you’re looking for space, security, and balance in Pembroke Pines, The Landings deserves a serious look.
Not flashy.
Not trendy.
Just solid.
And sometimes, solid wins.
