Home sweet home - 5/1/2016
Lived in this and very nearby area since 1974 so I'm very familiar with the area. The roads and buildings have increased greatly. Lots of diversity ... people from all over the world here. You will hear French, Italian, Creole, Spanish, Portugese, occasionally Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean spoken here. Lots of people from Brazil, Latin America, Jamaica, Haiti, Mexico, Canada, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, even Poland, and Russia here. I think the crime rate is high because there is a lot of anonymity and transience...you can lose yourself here. If you don't want to run into someone, this is the place to be. Also we have many sober houses, drug and alcohol rehabs, (most rehabs going for $36,000/mo or mental health places going for free (for the indigent) or up to $16,000 or $36,000 per month. A lot of sober houses charge anywhere from $230 to $600+ per month to sleep in a bed in a bedroom with 5 or 6 people in a house the owner rents from some unknowing sucker. Also a lot of group

The Real Estate Agents Won't Tell You This - 3/26/2006
Native Floridians are very nice people, but you won't find many of them in Coconut Creek. What you will find are many pushy aggressive people that have moved to Coconut Creek from Brooklyn, N.Y., and Columbia. As it turns out, since south Florida is a melting pot for countless South American, and Carribean Island cultures, that the different Hispanic groups do not get along with each other polically. It seems that Columbians and Brazilians get along, but dislike other Spanish speaking people, so they have converged and bought up the area townhouses to build up their culture. That is well and good, but the area becomes less English speaking/culture every year. What makes it bad is the people from Brooklyn. You try to get off an elevator, and they physically push you into the back of the elevator. They are loud, aggressive, opinionated, and largely talk in street slang. Coconut Creek is a nice place, but the clash of cultures there makes it a strage place to live. It was ok

north end of coconut creek. - 9/25/2005
I currently live in the notheast end of coconut creek and I find it to be a great value. The surrounding areas are parkland, boca raton and deerfield beach all of which have higher property taxes and have no real advantage as we all share the same local ammentities, restaurants, parks, shopping . The city has a developing plan in place were there will be nightlife in the north-center part of coconut creek. It will only mean that you wouldn't need to travel another 15 minutes for it but it will help highlight coconut creek and property values will rise. The southern end of coconut creek has older homes and alot of retirement living. Townhomes are common and there is the matter of the county landfill (dump) that has been reflected in property values on the southern end. Coconut creek is a long city running north/south. The schools and area are prodominately white like the above mentioned cities so if you are looking for more of a cultural mix ,this probably isnt
