Coconut palms and creeks flourish, but no, there is no particular waterway that gave the city its name when it incorporated as Coconut Creek 30 years ago. Actually, the city is now known as the Butterfly Capital since it is home to Butterfly World, with an 8,000 sq. ft. Aviary that is home to more than 5000 butterflies. No matter, the image of swaying palms and lazy streamlets, as well as early master planning, helped catapult Broward's then-youngest city into Florida's fastest growing municipality throughout the '80s.

Real Estate

In the nineties, Coconut Creek went through another building surge of single-family housing and family oriented subdivisions. All must adhere to strict building and landscape regulations set by city administrators determined not to make the same mistakes as the county's older cities. As a result, Coconut Creek possesses freshness, a clean and modern feel, that's been lost to its older neighbors.
