Margate sits in the middle of Broward County, an established residential city where the housing runs heavily toward condos and single-story living, with plenty of active-adult communities and pockets of water. Neighborhoods like Holiday Springs, Oriole Gardens and Ramblewood South each have their own feel, and you're within easy reach of the rest of South Florida from here.

For a buyer today, this is one of the more affordable corners of Broward: the median list price is $165,000 and the median sale over the past year landed at $325,000. Inventory is real — 429 active listings — and homes take a median of 76 days to sell, so there's room to negotiate, with sellers netting about 96% of asking. If you're weighing options, it's worth comparing townhomes & condos against the smaller pool of single-family homes before you commit.
