Miramar
Incorporated in 1955 and conveniently located between the metro Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas, the City of Miramar has grown from a small bedroom community to a thriving and bustling city of more than 136,000 residents. Through carefully planned growth, well-designed new residential communities and first class parks with recreational opportunities for all, the City has attracted employment centers, corporate parks, institutions of higher learning, a major hospital, restaurants, and retail centers. The Miramar Town Center is the City's centerpiece development. Designed as a walkable, urban mixed use community, it contains civic, educational, cultural, residential and commercial uses centrally located in the geographic heart of the City. These efforts paid off when Money Magazine twice named Miramar as a Top 100 Places to Live. In 2021, the City of Miramar received the Smart City and All American City awards.
