Pembroke Pines
 |
The Pines Village, incorporated in 1960, grew to become Pembroke Pines—today. Pembroke Pines is one of the largest of Florida's 400+ municipalities and is best characterized as progressive, considering its history of innovation in education, public/private partnerships and local initiatives.
In addition to county schools, over 5,000 children are enrolled in the City owned and operated Charter School System; eight campuses located throughout the City’s 35 square miles.
Using developer-based assessments, the City provided infrastructure faster and at no cost to existing residents. The City’s Fire Department is Class 1, a national distinction that can mean lower insurance premiums for business. The Police Department’s average response time is under 5 minutes. With all these proactive initiatives, Pembroke Pines continues to maintain one of the lowest property tax rates of all the 31 Broward municipalities.
The City’s latest innovation is City Center, a proposed 115-acre mixed-use development designed to stimulate economic development and add $124 million to the City’s coffers. Pines Village is truly an All-American City.
