Founded by developer Ken Behring as an active adult community in 1963, Tamarac has evolved into a thriving city just minutes from Fort Lauderdale. The city's extensive canal system provides waterfront living options, while its tropical climate ensures year-round outdoor enjoyment. With average rent prices around $1,800 for one-bedroom apartments, Tamarac presents a more affordable option compared to neighboring coastal communities.

Tamarac's rental market includes apartment communities, townhomes, and single-family homes spread across established neighborhoods. The Woodlands features tree-lined streets and golf course views, while Tamarac Lakes offers waterfront properties along the city's canal system. Neighborhoods connect to the 23-acre Tamarac Sports Complex, which includes basketball courts, baseball fields, and a fitness trail. The city maintains several parks, including Sunset Point Park with its butterfly garden and Veterans' Memorial Park, offering walking paths and recreational amenities.

Located in Broward County, Tamarac provides access to major employment centers via the Sawgrass Expressway and Florida's Turnpike. The city sits within commuting distance to Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, and Sunrise, with access to South Florida's business districts, entertainment venues, and beaches. The community's central location offers residents a balance of suburban comfort with easy access to urban amenities and natural attractions.
