Fox Ridge:
Established Parkland, Minus the New-Build Sticker Shock.

Fox Ridge homes are mostly single-family built late 1990s through mid-2000s — typical of 33076's second wave before the Watercrest/Heron Bay boom. Expect 4 and 5 bedroom layouts in the 2,200–3,400 square foot range, with a solid showing of bigger 3,400+ estates on the premium interior lots. Most have two-car garages, pools with screened enclosures, tile roofs, and that classic Florida stucco-and-barrel-tile look that ages better than anything trying too hard to be modern.

In the broader 33076 zip, homes sold over the last three months skewed heavily toward 4 bedroom (44 sales) and 3 bedroom (30 sales) floor plans, with price-per- square-foot clustering in the $300–$400 range. That's the Fox Ridge sweet spot: you're not paying $450/sf new-build markup, but you're also not buying tired 1970s stock. These houses were built for families, raised families, and are ready to raise another round.

The Setting: Quiet Streets, Strong Schools, Easy Access to Everything

Fox Ridge is a single-family neighborhood tucked into one of Parkland's quieter pockets — wide interior streets, mature landscaping, and a layout that keeps through-traffic out. Homes are predominantly one- and two-story builds from the late 1990s and early 2000s, with screened pool patios, two-car garages, and lots that give you real backyard space without crossing into estate-sized maintenance.

The neighborhood sits inside the Heron Heights → Westglades → Marjory Stoneman Douglas school zoning, which is one of the most consistent draws to this part of Parkland. Pine Trails Park, the Parkland Library, and the Equestrian Center are all a short drive away, and the Sawgrass Expressway puts you on a direct line to Boca, Coral Springs, and points south.

Fox Ridge Market Report: The 33076 Numbers as of April 2026

The 33076 zip is still technically a seller's market — 5.29 months of inventory with a list-to-sale percentage of 96.8% — but inventory is trending up (+15.9% month over month) and median days on market sit at 35. Translation: it's cooled from the 2022 feeding frenzy, but Fox Ridge homes priced right still get clean offers in a reasonable window. The median sold price across the zip in March 2026 was $915,000 — right in Fox Ridge's core range.

Schools: The Same A-Rated Parkland Pipeline, Lower Entry Price

Here's the thing people don't always catch: Fox Ridge feeds into the same A-rated public schools as the million-dollar-plus neighborhoods around it. Same elementary, same middle, same high school. You're not saving money by compromising on education — you're saving money by buying an older house.

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

Location: Northwest Parkland Off Pine Island Road

Fox Ridge is bounded roughly by Pine Island Road on the west and Holmberg Road on the south — that quiet northwest pocket of Parkland where the Everglades edge is close enough you'll see the occasional sandhill crane stroll across your lawn like it paid HOA dues. Commuters have it easy: Sawgrass Expressway is about ten minutes, and the Florida Turnpike isn't much farther.

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

The Honest Summary

Fox Ridge is the Parkland buy for people who did the math. You're trading the guard gate and the resort clubhouse for a mature, established neighborhood that already grew up — and you're keeping a couple hundred thousand dollars in the process. The schools are the same. The tax savings are the same. The zip code is the same. The only thing that's different is whether your roof has ten years on it or ten months.

Beth and Griff know which Fox Ridge streets hold value, which elevations need roof updates in the next five years, and which pools are original vs. recently refinished. That's the stuff that matters when you're buying a 20-year-old house — and it's not in any listing remarks.
