Sunrise
Once a residential community called Sunrise Golf Village, this town has developed into a fun place to work and live with endless recreational and employment opportunities. Over 85,000 people call Sunrise home. Top corporations have moved here in recent years adding 10,000 new jobs in the last three years. New residents will find all types of housing here with single-family homes starting around $110,000. This town has become a hub because of its easy access to local highways.
Another determining factor in the popularity of this locale is the amount of entertainment here. The Sawgrass Mills mall is an excellent shopping opportunity. Its outlet stores offer bargains to consumers and its themed restaurants, such as The Rainforest Cafe, and entertainment centers bring in families looking for fun. This complex attracts 25 million people per year. Music and sports lovers love the Office Depot center and Broward County Arena. Here residents can watch hockey games, arena football, or catch the biggest musical acts in the country like Madonna, Elton John and U2.
Several parks and recreational areas are available for guests and residents. At Markham Park and Range, they can bike, canoe, camp, horseback ride, picnic, play tennis, fly a model airplane, practice shooting at the range, and much more. Some parks offer basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts. Others offer softball, soccer, and football fields. Just minutes from the major cities and beaches of South Florida, Sunrise is the perfect entertainment center and living environment for the whole family.
