Plantation is the perfect city to reside in. Clean, friendly people, and safe environment for all. There's nice shopping centers and activities for everyone! During the holidays the city also sets up events for the community to come together and celebrate.
I lived here for about 3 years from 2006 to 2009. The weather was one of the best in the whole state of Florida except for the fall when there is constant rain. The shopping has come a long way. I like that I can drive to more shopping in Davie like the Whole Foods and the Trader Joes which is sort of small for a college community. I could walk around a lot of places and swimming and tennis was a lot of fun in the local community. The main draw was I got to work at the charter school system which was at the time really good and gave me a great start. I hardly found good Doctors unless I drove way up to Coral Springs or farther. Maybe 2 were good in the whole city. Views are nice in Plantation, wildlife plus tropical life. If you like your porch, you will smile. My Mom lives there for almost 20 years and it has grown and is still pricier for a lot of things. Mail is actually fast around the state.
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.
