Broward housing, from coastal bungalows to western master-planned cities
East of I-95, Broward's oldest neighborhoods date from the 1920s through the 1960s in cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach. Homes there include bungalows, Mediterranean Revival houses and mid-century ranches under flat tile, barrel tile, shingle and metal, while condominium towers along the beach rely on low-slope membrane systems.
The central cities, including Plantation, Sunrise and parts of Davie, grew mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s with single-family subdivisions, townhomes and large 55-plus condominium communities. Many of these roofs are on their second or third replacement, and older decking and ventilation deserve a close look at each one.
West of the Florida Turnpike and toward I-75 and US 27, Weston, western Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Coral Springs and Parkland filled in from the 1980s into the 2010s with master-planned communities under concrete tile. Parts of Davie keep a rural, equestrian character with larger lots and outbuildings.
Across the western communities, homeowner associations commonly require architectural review for roof color and profile, and many of the tile roofs installed during the building boom of the 1990s and 2000s are reaching underlayment replacement age.
