Cascata:
Lennar's Gated Resort Community in West Parkland.

Lennar designed Cascata as two overlapping collections that share the same clubhouse and gates. The Estate Collection is the core — 2,151 to 4,122 square feet, three to five bedrooms, one- and two-story floor plans, two- and three-car garages. The Presidential Collection steps up to 2,511 to 4,676 square feet with four to six bedrooms, deeper lots, and multi-generational layouts with detached in-law suites. Both sit on lots in the 0.15–0.25 acre range.

Collection features above reflect original Lennar build specs. Individual resales vary — inspect for updates, pool equipment age, and roof warranty status.

Cascata vs MiraLago: The Sister-Community Cheat Sheet

Across the street sits MiraLago — 530 homes, same builder, same general era, slightly different amenity footprint. Buyers shopping Cascata inevitably look at MiraLago and vice versa. Here's the quick side-by-side so you don't have to squint at two sets of brochures.

Cascata + MiraLago together = 1,126 Lennar homes sharing the west-Parkland wedge. HOA structures are separate; amenities technically are too — but the lifestyle profile is nearly interchangeable.

Market Report: Zip 33076 as of April 2026

The 33076 zip code — which covers Cascata, MiraLago, Watercrest, Heron Bay, and a slice of Parkland Golf & Country Club — is still a seller's market on paper, with 5.29 months of inventory and a 96.8% list-to-sale ratio. Median days on market sit at 35. Values cooled about 3.2% year-over-year across the zip — a measured normalization after the 2022 peak, not a retreat. Cascata's core resale range tracks the zip's upper-middle band, around $1M–$1.5M, with Presidential Collection homes pushing above $2M.

Schools: The Parkland A-Rated Pipeline

Cascata zones into the same elite public-school pipeline as every other premium Parkland neighborhood. Same elementary, same middle, same high — the school zoning is not a tiebreaker between Cascata and its neighbors.

Verify current zoning with Broward County Public Schools before writing an offer — boundaries occasionally shift, and a street can matter.

Location: West Parkland, Loxahatchee & Nob Hill

Cascata sits inside the wedge bounded by Loxahatchee Road to the north, Nob Hill Road to the east, Hillsboro Boulevard to the south, and the Watercrest neighborhoods and canal to the west. The Sawgrass Expressway is under ten minutes, the Florida Turnpike about fifteen — Boca is a 20-minute run, Fort Lauderdale beaches about 35, and downtown Miami about 45 on a good day.

Average commute time out of the zip is about 33 minutes — slightly above the county average, which is the tradeoff for a quieter address. Nearly 6,000 zip residents already work from home, so plenty of Cascata driveways stay full at 10am on a Tuesday.

Why Buy in Cascata?

• ◆Newer construction (2017–2022) — impact glass, modern kitchens, lower near-term capex than older Parkland stock

• ◆No state income tax — a $300K earner typically saves $15K–$25K/year moving from NY/NJ/CA
• ◆Lennar Next Gen / Presidential floor plans accommodate multi-generational living with private in-law suite entries
• ◆Sister community MiraLago across the street adds combined social scale (1,126 Lennar homes together)
• ◆Turnkey buyer profile — less renovation work on the front end than a 25-year-old Fox Ridge or Eagle Trace house

The Honest Summary

Cascata is the Parkland buy for people who want the whole thing packaged: gate, clubhouse, pool, courts, trails, schools, newer roof, newer everything. You pay for it up front in list price and monthly in HOA, but you don't have to source the lifestyle piece by piece. The tradeoff vs. Fox Ridge or Eagle Trace is real: higher entry price, higher HOA, newer but smaller lots, in exchange for amenities and construction age.

Beth and Griff have toured both collections, walked the trail network, and watched Cascata resales for years. They know which streets back to lake vs. preserve, which floor plans hold value on resale, and which Presidential lots carry the premium. Call or text 954-300-1057 before you write an offer — it's the stuff that isn't in the listing.
