Margate Middle School

It's an established, family-oriented part of central Broward County with easy access to the coast and major corridors. Pools are common — 335 of the 645 active listings have one — and families often value the nearby feeder schools like Coconut Creek High School. The mix of waterfront, gated, and standard homes means there's something for most lifestyles.

Relative to much of South Florida, it's accessible: the median list price is $183,777 and homes sold over the past year had a median price of $270,000. Prices span a wide range, from $1,000 up to $1.2 million, so there's real flexibility depending on size and features. You can filter by budget on the live map.

Expect a median list price around $183,777 and an average of $495 per square foot, with a median home size near 1,061 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 483 homes sold at a median of $270,000. The gap between list and sold prices reflects the smaller condos that pull the list-price median down.

It favors buyers. With 645 active listings, a median 77 days on market, and sellers getting an average of 95% of asking, there's room to negotiate. That said, 483 homes still sold over the past year, so well-priced properties do move — you can track current Margate homes for sale to gauge pace.

The median HOA runs about $325 per month, common in the zone's condo and gated communities where 59 gated listings are active. Median property tax is roughly $3,064 per year. Always confirm the specific HOA and tax figures on any home you're considering, since they vary by community and assessed value.
