The neighborhood is very quiet but can get a little loud when a neighbor is having a party which nobody cares about. Everybody is to themselves, nobody calls the cops unless there is a stray/lost dog. Everything is across the street. There is a mall, publix, walmart, Jamaican food, asian food, chic fila...everything! The only stores missing are Macy's which is 8 minutes away. Most neighbors will say goodmorning to you. Nice neighborhood.
What I like in plantation is that there is a lot of holiday spirit in the neighborhood, a lot of activities are here, for example, the plantation wildcats known for their little league football team, a lot of food truck events and even big parks for baby showers, birthday parties, and get togethers . What i would like to see change is the way they view the middle class from the country club. If the city could renovate the parks and houses I would love the city even more. There are a lot of restaurants and after school clubs to go to. The community is a safe place for kids as well.
I like that Plantation is a very all-inclusive city. It provides many opportunities for employment, fun, food and even residence. It is a beautiful city will great people. One thing I would like to see change in Plantation is the road work. Some of the roads are a bit bumpy and sometimes hard to drive on. Another thing I would change is to add more parks in Plantation for recreational purposes.
