Windsor at Pembroke Gardens: Is it Worth the Rent?

The Location Everyone Talks About

You don’t usually hear “walkable” and “Pembroke Pines” in the same sentence unless you’re talking about Windsor at Pembroke Gardens.

Tucked right next to The Shops at Pembroke Gardens, this luxury rental community was built for people who want to live in the middle of it all: shopping, dining, coffee, cocktails, and maybe a quick Target run before dinner.

But this place isn’t just about location.

Windsor leans hard into lifestyle, and in many ways, it delivers.

A Closer Look

Let’s be real, most apartment communities talk a big game about their amenities.

Windsor backs it up.

Here’s what stood out:

• Saltwater pool + spa with cabanas that have TVs, fans, and USB chargers (yes, you can charge your phone from a lounge chair).

• A theater room with surround sound and an adjoining social bar; not your average rec room.

• Teched-out game room with shuffleboard, foosball, cocktail arcades, PlayStation and Xbox.

• Fitness on Demand™ studios for spin, yoga, and personalized workouts. Bonus: 24/7 gym access and steam room.

• Indoor pet spa + fenced dog park because pets are treated like residents here.

• EV charging, bike workshop, package lockers, Wi-Fi everywhere, and even air-conditioned storage units.

It’s like they took every convenience you’ve ever wished your building had and stacked them into one place.

Parking, Pricing & Fine Print

Residents get assigned parking in a secure multi level garage, but here’s the catch, it comes with a monthly parking fee.

It’s controlled, clean, and convenient, but it’s not free.

Rents start around $2,200 for a one bedroom, and larger units can easily cross $3,000/month, especially with extras like pool views or top-floor layouts.

And while it’s all smoke free and super clean, expect a premium vibe over a party vibe.

It’s peaceful, not sleepy.

You’re more likely to bump into someone carrying a yoga mat than hosting a rooftop rager.

What Makes It Different

This is one of the only LEED certified green communities in Pembroke Pines.

Energy efficient lighting, water saving fixtures, and recycling programs are all built in.

A subtle but solid win for sustainability minded renters.

They also offer Bilt Rewards, which means you can actually earn points for paying rent (a rare perk in the rental world).

The Tradeoffs

You’re paying top dollar here and for some renters, it’s worth every penny.

But if you’re just looking for square footage or a place to crash, Windsor may feel like overkill.

And a heads up: guest parking is tight, and yes, traffic around The Shops at Pembroke Gardens can get a little busy, especially on weekends.

But it’s not gridlock, and if you time it right, it’s manageable.

Insider Tip

The meditation garden is tucked away and underused.

It’s one of the quietest spots in the complex.

Bring a book or just escape the noise after work.
