Maplewood Homes for Sale in Coral Springs, FL
The neighborhood that was already here before the marketing buzzwords showed up.
Before Coral Springs had gated entries with little call boxes and dramatic stone signage, it had Maplewood. This is one of the city's original sections, laid out in the 1970s and built through the early '80s, back when Coral Ridge Properties was busy turning Everglades edge-land into the “City in the Country.” The result is the kind of place you basically can't build anymore: wide sidewalk-lined streets, oak and (yes) maple canopies that took forty years to fill in, and solid single-family homes on real lots. No guard gate. Mostly no mandatory HOA. Just a grown-in, walkable neighborhood a few minutes from both Cypress Park and Mullins Park, and an entry price that still says “Coral Springs” without whispering “second mortgage.”

“The City in the Country,” and Maplewood Was Here First
Coral Springs earned its nickname the hard way: a famously strict code that bans billboards, regulates building colors, and has the city planting and protecting trees like it's a competitive sport. Most newer Broward suburbs are still waiting for their landscaping to grow up. Maplewood already did. The canopy here is the real, shade-the-whole-street kind, because the trees have had since the Carter administration to get there.
It sits in central Coral Springs in the 33071 zip, an easy roll to two of the city's best green spaces: Cypress Park on Coral Springs Drive, with its community pool, tennis center, and ballfields, and Mullins Park just to the north, home to the Aquatic Complex and the Sportsplex. Between them you've got more open green than most backyards could ever compete with. Add the Coral Springs Drive corridor for groceries, coffee, and the everyday errands you don't want to drive 20 minutes for, and the whole point of the neighborhood comes into focus: it's genuinely convenient, not just “convenient for a gated community 15 minutes from anything.”
The Homes: Three Generations of “Good Bones”
Maplewood is single-family country: no townhome rows, no mid-rise anything. What you'll find are honest concrete-block homes from the original build era, lots of them on quarter-acre-ish lots with room for a pool (and plenty already have one). The floor plans are the classic Florida mix: single-story ranches, split three- and four-bedrooms, and a healthy share of two-stories for anyone who wants the square footage without leaving the zip code.
The fun part of a neighborhood this established is the renovation lottery. A good slice of Maplewood has been taken down to the studs and brought back with open kitchens, impact windows, re-piped plumbing, and fresh roofs: move-in and forget it. Another slice is the original-condition diamond-in-the-rough that lets a buyer build instant equity with a smart remodel. Either way you're buying real structure on a real lot, not a 12-foot side-yard and a shared wall.
The Starter Block
~$450K–$525K
Original or lightly updated 3-bed ranches. The most affordable real front door into Coral Springs single-family living.
The Pool-Home Pocket
~$525K–$675K
Renovated 3–4 bedrooms, many with a screened pool and updated kitchen. The everyday Maplewood sweet spot.
The Two-Story Upgrade
~$675K–$850K
Larger 4–5 bedroom two-stories, fully remodeled, sometimes on an oversized or corner lot. Top of the Maplewood range.
Maplewood Market Snapshot
Because Maplewood is part of the broader Coral Springs 33071 market rather than a single gated subdivision with its own sales feed, the cleanest read comes from area-level numbers, so the figures below are framed at the Coral Springs / 33071 level and matched to Maplewood's single-family profile. The headline: this is a steady, livable market, not a speculative one. Homes that are renovated and priced honestly move; tired listings asking renovated money sit. About what you'd hope for in an established neighborhood.

The Tax Math: What Moving to Maplewood Keeps in Your Pocket
Florida has no state income tax, and Broward County's property tax rate is dramatically friendlier than what most transplants are leaving behind. On a sub-$600K Maplewood home, instead of a million-dollar Parkland estate, the gap gets even more lopsided, because you're paying a lower rate on a lower price.

Real Math for a Typical Maplewood Buyer:
- Property tax savings vs NJ: ~$7,000/year
- Property tax savings vs NY: ~$3,000/year
- Income tax relief ($150K+ household): $9,000–$18,000/year
- No mandatory HOA on most homes: $4,000–$5,000/year you never pay
- Total annual “welcome to Florida” bonus: $16,000–$30,000
Here's the quiet kicker most listings forget to mention: skipping a $300–$400 monthly HOA is the same as a meaningful chunk of mortgage payment that simply never exists. Over a decade, “no dues” is real money, the kind that buys a new roof, or just stays put in your account.
What's Around: You Don't Need a Clubhouse When You Have a City
The trade Maplewood makes is simple and honest: no gated-resort amenity package, and in exchange, no resort-sized HOA bill. What you get instead is everything Coral Springs already built for the whole city, which, conveniently, is a lot.
Cypress Park
Right on Coral Springs Drive: community pool, tennis center, ballfields, and shaded walking loops a short hop from the neighborhood.
Mullins Park & Aquatic Complex
The city's biggest park just to the north: ballfields, playgrounds, and a competition-grade pool with lap swimming and lessons.
Coral Springs Sportsplex
Tennis center, fields, and tracks. The city's rec backbone is basically your extended backyard.
Coral Springs Dr. Corridor
Groceries, pharmacies, coffee, and everyday errands a short hop from the neighborhood. No highway required.
The Walk & Downtown CSpgs
Dining, the Center for the Arts, and the growing downtown district a quick drive south.
Sawgrass Expressway
Close enough for an easy commute to Fort Lauderdale, Boca, or Miami; far enough that you don't hear it.
Schools
Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) is a high-performing, “A-rated” district, with over half of its schools achieving an “A” grade for the 2024–2025 school year (Source: Browardschools.com). There are also many charter and private schools across Broward.

Location: Central Coral Springs, Close to Everything
Maplewood sits in central Coral Springs in the 33071 zip, tucked into the residential interior, but never far from a main road when you actually need one. You're close to the city's parks-and-rec core and a short drive from the Sawgrass for everywhere else.
- ✦Cypress Park & Mullins Park: Both minutes away: pools, tennis, ballfields, and the Aquatic Complex
- ✦Parkland: ~10 minutes north: restaurants, the equestrian center, country club living
- ✦Fort Lauderdale beaches: ~30 minutes east via Sawgrass + I-595
- ✦Boca Raton: ~25 minutes north: Town Center, dining, FAU
- ✦Miami: ~45 minutes south via the Turnpike
The Maplewood Vibe, in One Comparison
If the shiny new gated communities are a leased luxury SUV, beautiful, loaded, and quietly billing you every single month, Maplewood is the well-kept classic you actually own outright. It's broken-in in the best way: the trees are full, the streets are quiet, the lots are real, and nobody's sending you a notice about your mailbox finish. It doesn't try to impress you at the gate, because there isn't one. It just turns out to be the place you didn't want to leave.
Why Buy in Maplewood?
- ✦One of Coral Springs' original 1970s–80s neighborhoods: a mature, fully grown-in tree canopy you literally cannot buy in newer construction
- ✦Non-gated and mostly no mandatory HOA: keep the $300–$400/month most gated communities charge
- ✦All single-family homes on real lots: no townhome rows, no shared walls, room for a pool
- ✦Median around $575K: a genuine entry point into Coral Springs single-family living, well below Parkland's seven-figure floor
- ✦Renovation spectrum from turnkey pool homes to instant-equity fixers: buy your finish level
- ✦Minutes from both Cypress Park and Mullins Park: pools, tennis, ballfields, the Aquatic Complex, and the Sportsplex, all without a clubhouse bill
- ✦No state income tax plus Broward property taxes that beat NY/NJ by $3K–$7K a year on the same value
- ✦"City in the Country" code keeps the whole area clean, green, and billboard-free
Bottom Line
Maplewood is what people are actually picturing when they say they want “a real neighborhood”: grown-in, walkable, single-family, and priced like a home instead of a status symbol. You give up the gate and the resort pool; you keep the HOA money, get a forty-year head start on the landscaping, and land in one of Broward's most carefully kept cities for a fraction of the Parkland buy-in.

Maplewood is one of the addresses out-of-state buyers shortlist when they start mapping Coral Springs — a gated South Florida community with the kind of build quality, lot sizes, and amenity package that clears most relocator checklists in a single visit. Florida's homestead exemption applies the year after you take title and establish primary residency by January 1 — that caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% under Save Our Homes and shaves roughly $50,000 off the taxable value. If you're moving from another Florida home, your portability dollars come with you. Many of our out-of-state buyers never fly down before closing: Florida allows remote online notarization, virtual tours, and remote inspections, and Beth runs a 45–60 day playbook that gets the keys in your hand without burning a same-week flight.
