Where it is

The city’s Plantation Park East Neighborhood Plan Report, dated January 2000, places the neighborhood in the northeast corner of the city: south of Sunrise Boulevard, east of Florida’s Turnpike and north of Broward Boulevard, about 420 acres, plus the Lake Park Gardens Condominiums just north of Sunrise Boulevard. The Broward County Property Appraiser’s neighborhood layer maps the homes in two pieces, Breezeswept Park Estates next to the Turnpike and East Plantation to its east, about 390 acres together; this page joins them. The State Road 7 business corridor is along the eastern edge, and Country Club Estates is across Broward Boulevard to the south.

All of the area’s street addresses are in ZIP code 33317.

History. The plan says rancher Dewey Hawkins grazed Texas longhorns here in the early 1950s. The city annexed the Westgate Shopping Center at Broward Boulevard and State Road 7 in 1955 and the strip north to Sunrise Boulevard in 1956, and the Sunshine State Parkway, now Florida’s Turnpike, opened in January 1957. Robert Goldman of Miami developed Breezeswept Park Estates from 1958, setting aside a six-acre school site, where Plantation Elementary opened in 1965, and seven acres of parks. The hospital now called Plantation General was completed in 1965.
