Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Paradise Gardens a 55+ community?
- Yes. Every current MLS listing describes Paradise Gardens as a 55-and-over community, and one listing notes that at least one resident must be 55 or older. Ask the association for its current age verification and approval process before you make an offer.
- What have homes in Paradise Gardens sold for?
- Fifty homes closed between July 2025 and October 2026, at prices from $225,000 to $435,000. The median closing was $320,000, or $236 a square foot. Smaller homes closed between $242,000 and $335,000, and larger two-bath homes mostly closed between $300,000 and $368,000.
- How much is the HOA in Paradise Gardens?
- Listings show monthly fees from $67 to $159, with a median of $97. Most listings say the fee covers lawn and grounds maintenance and common areas, and many include the pool and clubhouse. It does not cover your roof, exterior or homeowners insurance. Ask about any planned assessment for the clubhouse or pool.
- Can you keep a boat in Paradise Gardens?
- Some canal homes have private docks, and one listing describes access to the C-14 canal and the Stranahan River. Several listings also say boats are restricted. Confirm the association's rules on docks and boat storage, and check the canal route for bridges, before buying for that reason.
- Can you rent out a home in Paradise Gardens?
- Leasing is limited. Several listings say owners cannot lease in the first two years of ownership, and many say buyer approval is required. At the time of writing six homes were for rent at $2,000 to $2,500 a month. Get the current rental rules from the association. Investors usually find the leasing limits make it a better fit for owner-occupants.
- Are pets allowed in Paradise Gardens?
- Most listings say pets are allowed, but many note breed restrictions or a limit on the number of pets. If you have a larger dog or more than one animal, ask the association for the written policy before you sign a contract. Ask whether the limits apply per household or per animal type.
- How old are the homes in Paradise Gardens?
- Most were built between 1970 and 1978. Many have been updated with impact windows, newer roofs and air conditioning, and several have solar panels. Ask for the age of the roof and major systems on any home, since they drive insurance costs and resale value.
- What schools are zoned for Paradise Gardens?
- MLS listings show Margate Elementary or Atlantic West Elementary, Margate Middle and Coconut Creek High. Paradise Gardens is a 55-plus community, so this mainly matters at resale. Confirm the zone with Broward County Public Schools, and keep it in mind when you price the home for an eventual sale.
- How many homes are for sale in Paradise Gardens?
- There are 17 active listings for sale in Paradise Gardens right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. Prices cluster fairly closely, with the top of the market about 1.6 times the entry level. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new Paradise Gardens listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in Paradise Gardens?
- The median list price in Paradise Gardens is $340,000, or roughly $234 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Paradise Gardens homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $249,900 to $410,000. The median sits near the middle of that range, so Paradise Gardens inventory is spread fairly evenly rather than bunched at one end. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in Paradise Gardens cover?
- Homes for sale in Paradise Gardens currently range from about $249,900 at the entry level to $410,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects lot size, square footage, and finish level across the single-family homes here, with the median list price around $340,000. The spread is tight, which usually points to a consistent housing stock rather than a mix of sizes and eras. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the Paradise Gardens listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Paradise Gardens?
- Homes in Paradise Gardens are averaging 89 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a measured pace, which usually leaves buyers room to negotiate and makes pricing at the outset matter more for sellers. Days on market in Paradise Gardens also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Is Paradise Gardens a 55+ community?
- Yes. Paradise Gardens is an age-restricted, 55-and-over active adult community, which generally means at least one resident per home must be 55 or older and the community is built around an active adult lifestyle. These communities usually pair lower-maintenance homes with amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, and a full social calendar. Rules on age, occupancy, leasing, and pets are set by the HOA and vary, so confirm the current governing documents for Paradise Gardens before you write an offer.
About Paradise Gardens
Paradise Gardens, Margate, FL, is a 55+ community in Broward County with 17 homes for sale right now. Paradise Gardens is an age-restricted 55+ community in Margate, Broward County, Florida, governed under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). Homes are priced from $270,000 to $525,000. At least one resident per home must be 55 or older. Pure Equity lists homes in Paradise Gardens and represents buyers. Commission is negotiable, and what we are paid is agreed with you in writing before you commit to anything.
Paradise Gardens is a 55-and-over community of single-family homes in east Margate, built mostly between 1970 and 1978. It is one of the few places in Broward where an active adult buyer can own a detached house with a garage and a yard, with a median sale of $320,000 over the past year. Nearly every home is one story, most have two bedrooms and a one-car garage, and living areas run from about 861 to 1,928 square feet. The community was platted in four sections, which show up in listings as Paradise Gardens Sec 1 through Sec 4. About a quarter of the homes back onto canals, and some have private docks.
For owners thinking about selling, demand has been steady. Fifty homes closed between July 2025 and October 2026, at prices from $225,000 to $435,000. The median closing was $320,000, and the median price per square foot was $236, within a range of $161 to $316. Smaller homes of about 861 to 1,061 square feet closed between $242,000 and $335,000, depending on updates. Larger two-bedroom, two-bath homes of about 1,587 to 1,690 square feet mostly closed between $300,000 and $368,000. The best prices went to homes with impact windows, newer roofs and air conditioning, and canal views.
The median home sold at 98% of its final list price, and the median sale took 55 days. Most sales close near asking, but buyers here are careful, and they will walk away from a house that needs a roof or a new air conditioner. Remarks show sellers listing the year of every major system, and at least one offered an $8,000 credit toward the buyer's closing costs. A seller who documents the roof, air conditioning, water heater and windows, and prices against the closest recent sale of the same size, usually sells within a couple of months.
At the time of writing 17 homes were for sale and 9 were under contract, which is a healthy ratio. Asking prices ran from $249,900 to $410,000, with a median of $340,000, a little above the median closing. Active listings had been on the market an average of 89 days. Higher-priced homes have taken longer; one 3-bedroom listed at $389,900 had passed 450 days. Sellers face a few direct competitors at any time, so presentation and price matter more than the season. Sellers should also plan for the association's approval step, which many listings mention, and allow time for it in the closing date.
The housing stock is simple and solid. The homes are concrete block, most with shingle roofs, and the lots run from about 0.08 to 0.24 acre. A handful of homes show composition, tile or flat roofs. Water and sewer are public. Many owners have added impact windows, and several listings mention solar panels, in some cases on a contract the buyer would take over. Florida rooms, screened patios and enclosed garages are common additions. Canal homes show water views from the family room and back yard, and one remark describes access to the C-14 canal and the Stranahan River from a private dock.
The association fee is among the lowest you will see. Every listing shows a monthly fee, ranging from $67 to $159, with a median of $97. Most listings say it covers lawn and grounds maintenance and common areas, and many include the recreation facilities. Most listings report a pool, heated according to remarks, and a clubhouse, and some mention a fitness room, a game or billiard room, shuffleboard and a library. Property taxes, insurance and roof age will drive your real cost of ownership far more than the HOA fee, so get insurance quotes early.
Age, leasing and approval rules apply. Every listing describes Paradise Gardens as a 55-and-over community, and one remark notes that one resident must be at least 55. Many listings say buyer approval is required, and several say owners cannot lease during the first two years of ownership. At the time of writing six homes were offered for rent, at $2,000 to $2,500 a month. Most listings say pets are allowed, but many note breed restrictions or a limit on the number of animals. Some listings also bar boats, RVs and trailers, so canal buyers should confirm the docking rules with the association.
Paradise Gardens is age restricted, so school assignments matter mainly at resale. MLS listings show Margate Elementary or Atlantic West Elementary, Margate Middle and Coconut Creek High. Confirm the zone for a specific address with Broward County Public Schools if it matters to your plans. For most buyers the more useful checks are the roof age, the four-point and wind mitigation inspections insurers ask for on homes of this age, and whether any solar panel contract transfers with the house. Buyers planning to share the home with a younger relative should also read the age and occupancy rules closely before they commit.
For a 55-plus buyer comparing Margate options, the choice is usually between a condo with a higher fee and a house like these with a very low one. Paradise Gardens gives you a private yard, a garage and your own roof to maintain, and it asks less than $160 a month in HOA fees. Buyers who want everything handled for them, including the roof and exterior, are usually better served by a condo community. Buyers who want a house, possibly on the water, at a modest price usually end up here.

Market & Value
Paradise Gardens market and home values
The Paradise Gardens real estate market reads best through the community's own recent activity, not a county-wide average. The median list price in Paradise Gardens is around $340,000, or roughly $234 per square foot. That sits about 13% below the Broward County median, which shows where Paradise Gardens lands in the local market. Recent asking prices have run from $249,900 to $410,000, so the home you choose within Paradise Gardens matters as much as the community average. Homes here have recently taken about 89 days to go under contract, a useful gauge of how quickly the Paradise Gardens market is moving. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within Paradise Gardens carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity can pull the active and recently sold homes in Paradise Gardens so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.
How It Compares
Paradise Gardens compared to nearby Margate communities
Paradise Gardens carries the highest median of the 7 Margate communities compared here. Price per square foot is the fairer comparison between communities, because it adjusts for the fact that one neighborhood builds bigger homes than another. Days on market shows how quickly each one is actually selling.

Who It Suits
Is Paradise Gardens right for you?
It helps to know who Paradise Gardens tends to suit before you tour. As an age-restricted community, Paradise Gardens fits active adults, downsizers, and seasonal residents who want a lock-and-leave home and a full social calendar. At least one resident usually needs to meet the age requirement, so confirm the specific age rule and any younger-spouse provision before you buy. On price, Paradise Gardens sits toward the more attainable end of the market, which draws first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. Whether Paradise Gardens is right for you depends on how you plan to use the home, full time or seasonally, and Pure Equity can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Living in Paradise Gardens
Life in Paradise Gardens is quiet and neighborly. The clubhouse and heated pool are the social center, and listings mention a game room with billiards, shuffleboard, a library and a small fitness room. Many owners spend their time in Florida rooms and screened patios, gardening, or on the water. Homes on the canals have water views from the back, and some have private docks, with remarks mentioning fishing and wildlife from the yard. Some corner lots have privacy fences and room for a garden. The streets are residential and lined with one-story homes, and the low fee leaves owners free to update their houses as they like.

Buying in Paradise Gardens
Buying a home in Paradise Gardens
The buying process in Paradise Gardens is the one used across Broward County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Ask for the association's governing documents, budget, and reserve study before you write an offer. Association fees, any club or membership costs, and rules on rentals, pets, and leasing vary by community and materially affect the true cost of ownership. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Broward County is about $3,610. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Margate means you see new listings in Paradise Gardens the day they reach the market.
Selling in Paradise Gardens
Selling a home in Paradise Gardens
Selling a home in Paradise Gardens starts with pricing it correctly for current conditions. List prices in Paradise Gardens currently center around $340,000, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Buyers in an association community also want to see the HOA or condo docs, the reserve study, and any pending or special assessments up front, so having those ready before you list avoids delays once you are under contract. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for Paradise Gardens owners in Margate, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?
What is your Paradise Gardens home worth?
Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in Paradise Gardens.
Listing agents and seller representation in Paradise Gardens
Thinking about selling in Paradise Gardens? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Conditions in Paradise Gardens sit close to balanced, which rewards sellers who price against real closed sales instead of neighboring asking prices. Homes here are averaging about 89 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving Paradise Gardens. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving Paradise Gardens
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in Paradise Gardens is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in Paradise Gardens
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where buyers have room to negotiate, as they do in Paradise Gardens, the leverage is only worth something if you know where it exists and what to ask for. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Broward County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in Paradise Gardens?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near Paradise Gardens, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $340,000 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Broward County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in Paradise Gardens?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in Paradise Gardens, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in Paradise Gardens?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in Paradise Gardens do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. Even in a slower market, negotiating room is only useful if you know where it exists.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Broward County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
