Coral Ridge, Timeless Tradition.

One of the great reasons Coral Ridge is such a desirable neighborhood is its proximity to two major shopping centers, Galleria Mall and Coral Ridge Shopping Center, good restaurants, excellent schools, and nearby houses of worship.

Ron Laffey, a member of the Civic Association Board of Governors, describes the availability of shopping as “fantastic!” He talks the same way about the neighborhood itself, describing it as a cornucopia of residents who come from a variety of areas of the United States as well as South America and Europe. “We have a combination of people who have come together as friendly neighbors,” he advises.

Another plus for living in Coral Ridge is it is a 20- minute walk to the beach, and only five minutes if driving.

Older homes, many of which have been updated with new kitchens, bathrooms or additional rooms, are on a compatible basis with the new buildings that have risen here. Single family, town houses, duplexes and triplexes blend comfortably into the existing area. It’s a community of lo-rises with apartment units no higher than three-stories.

Younger people are finding their way to this neighborhood because of its location and proximity to an excellent grade school, Bayview Elementary, and homes that are for rent or sale
