It was prepared with Mirror Lake Estates, Marcano Estates, Alpine Woods, Plantation Sunrise Heights, Apple Creek, Del Oro, Omega Condominiums, Omega Villas, Plantation Forest, Plantation Meadows, Village Square Condos and Villas of Plantation. In the Property Appraiser’s neighborhood layer, Marcano Estates sits just west of University Drive; Mirror Lake Estates and Plantation Sunrise Heights are east of it, reaching up to Sunrise Boulevard.

History. The plan says builder Howard Miller and H. Miller & Sons developed much of the area in the 1960s and 1970s, and that Mirror Lake Elementary was completed in 1969. Marcano Estates began in the late 1970s; its first developer went bankrupt soon after, and the subdivision was finished later. In 2005 the plan counted about 6,400 residents in about 2,500 households across its full 680 acres.

Home values
The typical home value in ZIP 33313 was $159,878 in August 2026, down 6.2% from $170,424 in August 2025, and in ZIP 33322 it was $264,153, down 5% from $277,940, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, single-family homes and condos together, not a sale price. Zillow files 33313 under Lauderhill and 33322 under Sunrise; both ZIP codes take in large parts of those cities, so neither figure describes Mirror Lake alone. The citywide Plantation figure was $495,099, down 2.1% on the year. More in our home prices guide.
