A gem city nesstled against the Everglades - 12/10/2021
Ee have lived here for 20 Yrs and I can accurately say: you can not find a better place in S FL to raise a family than Weston. Not just because of the highly rated schools (public and private), lush landscapes, proffesional business and health centers throughout, but because of its location: accessible to 2 major airports, sandwiched between Miami and Fl Lauderdale, and yet with its unique upscale feel, the result of meticulous urban planning and excellent city admins. Most communities within Weston are closed gated making it one of the safest cities in FL. To complete the perfect picture, the city offers plenty of shopping, great restaurants, hospitals, golf courses, parks complete with a YMCA top-notch facility, and bike lanes everywhere making this beautiful city a magnet for those sports enthusiasts looking to burn calories in a safe environment. Be aware real estate prices here have been rising due to its high demand--one that has brought professionals from every corner of the Read More

Flooding and Insect Problems - 4/14/2018
Part of the flooding problem is not just that the soil is unable to soak up the water but more problematic is that there is no proper drainage system to drain off the excess water. So the water accumulates for days on top of the soil all around your house and harbors a lot of worms and bugs. When it rains heavily it is like the pool is going to overflow into the house as the excess cannot find its way out. The water from the golf course also runs into your property. In addition, if you have selfish neighbors (like I do) with the gutters on their house positioned to drain the excess water on your property then you are faced with triple jeopardy. The HOA refuse to address these problem as all the residents are buddy buddy golf players. Weston Hills name has an exotic ring to it. But it is just a place for admiring not for easy living. Do not be misled by its convenient surroundings and the fact that it is very safe. The average Joe needs a balance lifestyle and should not be Read More

Do not be fooled by the manicured landscape - 4/13/2018
Honestly speaking - Weston is not what is appeared to be. The place is beautiful but the people who are living there are just so mean-spirited and conniving. First, the Home Owner's Association (HOA) wants to unleash power over you as a home owner. As a home owner, you have no rights as the HOA wants to dictate what you do with your own home. You cannot put in a plant of your choice, you cannot paint your own home, you cannot change the door, you cannot fix your roof, among a litany of things without the HOA's approval. They might or might not approve depending on your race and there is no recourse. All the members connived to make your life a living hell. Second, the HOA believe that they have the right to trespass on your property anytime to pinpoint what you should fix (whether it is the fence that is dirty or you should clean the lizard feces on the roof or fix a minor crack in the drive way) and then has the audacity to leave crude notes under your door with deadlines to Read More

Allergies - 7/23/2009
My ENT says that FL is not the wise choice if you suffer from allergies. We have alot of exotic plants here most, you have never heard of. Some of them are an invasive speices, not native to South Florida. Plants bloom here all year long and My advise is to live here a while before making the decision to stay. I have lived here most of my life and I have seen lots of changes. I am ready to retire somewhere Read More

a safe place to live - 12/15/2007
If you're looking for peace of mind, when it comes to crime, look no further. Weston is an upscale city, with a growing population, where you can feel safe going out at night. There's is always the general concern about breaking-and-entering, auto-theft, and others, no matter where you live. But, I have never lived in a community/city that felt safer than this one. If this is a concern of yours (and who doesn't think about it), this is a great place to think Read More

Weston Great City for Families - 6/18/2007
Weston is a great city for families with children. All schools are A+. There are a lot of parks. The city is extremely well maintened. I think is not the city for singles because there's no nightlife at all. Pretty close access to the major cities through the Interstate 75. About 20 minutes from beaches of Fort Lauderdale area. 45 minutes of Miami beach area. 60 to 75 minutes of Gulf Coast beaches (Naples, Marco Island). Anything wrong? The cost of living has increased mostly because the houses Read More
