Housing and what it costs
Pembroke Pines offers large homes at South Florida prices well below the coastal communities — that is the entire case for living here, and for families whose priority is space and cost it is a real one. The city stretches west of I-75 across a spread-out suburban footprint. Figures are approximate as of mid-2026 — use the apartment search above for live listings.
Picking an area
Two Chabad communities serve the city: Chabad of Pembroke Pines on Johnson Street in western Pembroke Pines, and Chabad of Century Village / Young Israel on SW 10th Street, which serves the Century Village retirement community. Those two poles are quite different in character and some distance apart, so the choice of area matters more here than the choice of street.
Kosher and daily life
The honest picture: there is no kosher dining or grocery within the city limits. The nearest options are in Cooper City and Hollywood, both a drive. Families here plan their shopping around trips out of the city, and many make a weekly run toward Hollywood or further south.
Schools
Day schools require a commute out of the city. If you are moving with school-age children this is the first thing to work out — map the drive honestly and confirm busing directly with each school before committing to a house.
Who it fits
Pembroke Pines suits families looking for large homes at South Florida prices who are comfortable driving to shul, to kosher shopping, and to school. It is car-dependent and spread out, and it is not the right fit if walkability matters to you — the denser Broward and Miami-Dade communities are the better comparison in that case.
