A big outdoor weekend in Pembroke Pines. The city continues celebrating 250 years of American history with hands on art, the library is bringing storytime into the gallery, and there are three front doors worth walking through before it's all over.
3 OPEN HOUSE PICKS
Three homes worth your time this weekend. Here's the quick rundown.
16183 NW 15th St — $1,250,000 Saturday, June 6 | 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Single family. If you're shopping the upper end of Pembroke Pines, this is the one to see Saturday afternoon. Come with questions and give yourself time to walk the property.
223 SW 159th Terrace — $585,000 Saturday, June 6 | 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Back to back with NW 15th St if you want to do a Saturday double. Two very different price points and property types good for getting a feel for what the range looks like right now.
940 SW 96th Avenue — $730,000 Sunday, June 7 | 9:00 AM. Single family. Early Sunday start. If your Saturday fills up, this one gives you a fresh look Sunday morning. Confirm the end time with the listing agent before you head out.

3 LOCAL EVENTS TO CATCH
Saturday, June 6 | commUNITY: 250 Years in the Making 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM | Carl Shechter Southwest Focal Point Community Center | Free
The city is marking America's 250th anniversary with something you don't see every day. A large scale community tapestry being built by hundreds of Pembroke Pines residents, one stitch at a time. Artist Magda Love is leading it. The finished piece gets permanently installed at City Hall. No experience needed. Show up, contribute your piece, and be part of something that will hang in this city long after the weekend is over. All day, all ages, no cost.
Saturday, June 6 | Storywalk in The Pines 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM | Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery | Free
Kick off summer with the library inside The Frank. They're reading See Marcus Grow by Marcus Bridgewater, with games, art activities, and Broward County librarians bringing the story to life. Free admission to The Frank's summer exhibition included. Every family gets a free copy of the book. All ages welcome. A solid Saturday morning if you've got kids who need something to do before the open houses start.
Saturday, June 6 | Studio Saturday: Photographs in Blue 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM | Studio 18 Art Complex, 1101 Poinciana Drive | $10
Studio 18 artist RemiJin Camping is leading a hands on cyanotype workshop. This is a historic process that uses sunlight to create Prussian blue prints. You'll use everyday objects to make your own photograms on paper. Part of it runs outside. All materials provided. All ages welcome. Registration required and spots are limited.
Heading to any of the open houses this weekend? Let me know what you find when you get there. Always good to hear what buyers are seeing on the ground.
Stay Safe,
