Welcome To SilverLakes Community

First, each of the 39 subdivisions that comprise SilverLakes is unique. Some communities lie along the bicycle and walking path. Others are adjacent to parks. And, some are near athletic and swimming facilities while some are more sheltered. So, when you combine this with a broad range of models (different layout and bedrooms)  you can be assured that SilverLakes certainly provides you with choices. Without a doubt, you can definitely find your perfect home here.

Amazing Facilities

Well, where should we begin? How about parks? First, SilverLakes is home to three parks and a tennis center, all on community property. Some have pools, some have athletic facilities and all have playgrounds. They are all fabulous! This year,  SilverLakes Community Park is welcoming new playground equipment and 13 doggie waste stations along 178th Avenue.

However, if you are looking to broaden your choices, the community also lies within close proximity to a number of amazing Broward County Parks. These include Miramar Regional Park, Pembroke Pines Recreation Center, C.B. Smith Park, Pembroke Lakes Golf and Raquet Club and Brian Piccolo Park. Thus, activities including mini golf, batting cages and even a velodrome are all nearby.

Finally, the community also contains a bicycle/walking path. It is truly the perfect place to enjoy some exercise.  Residents always seem to be taking advantage of the magnificent weather found in South Florida.

Active Homeowners Association

Honestly, we cannot say enough good things about the SilverLakes Homeowners Association. First, it is run by a Board of Directors comprised of community residents. Each member of the board represents the homeowners in a specific group of subdivisions. Thus, all residents needs and concerns are heard.

Additionally, the Board meets quarterly.  The meetings, which are open to all residents, are held in West Broward Hall located at SilverLakes Community Park (a location convenient to all). They post meeting agendas on the Community’s website in advance and minutes are shared after meetings are held. Obviously, communication is excellent.

Speaking of which, the HOA also publishes an electronic newsletter, which is accessible on the website. Thus, residents can keep abreast of what is happening and also learn who won the latest community contests. This season’s holiday decoration contest was particularly exciting. There were so many beautifully decorated houses in the community! The HOA awards prizes to the contest winners. These often include gift cards to some of the areas most popular businesses.

Finally, this HOA is well-known for the many events it hosts each year. Holidays are always celebrated. In fact, this past year families hunted for easter eggs, carved Halloween pumpkins and even had a visit from Santa! And, just recently the association coordinated a community-wide, weekend long garage sale. What a great opportunity for residents to do some spring cleaning and organizing.  Marie Kondo anyone?  What a great way to make some money!

Public Schools In SilverLakes

When a community is home to a signficant number of families with children, you can often surmise that the surrounding school system is a good one. Obviously, SilverLakes is no exception. School-aged children are part of the Broward School System and the schools they attend are determined by their address.

The community is served by  six public schools: two elementary schools (Panther Run and Silver Lakes), two middle schools (Glades Middle and Silver Trail Middle) and two high schools (Everlgades and West Broward). All provide a high quality education and offer a host of additional activities.
