Plantation Acres is the western end of the city: everything west of Hiatus Road to the city limits, about 2,680 acres, or nearly a fifth of Plantation’s land. The city’s own neighborhood plan defines it that way and calls it a rural enclave of large lots, built for “horse lovers and families that wanted a rural atmosphere.” Volunteer Park and the city’s Equestrian Center are inside it, and Broward County’s address data counts about 3,270 street addresses here.

Where it is

The city’s Plantation Acres Neighborhood Plan Report, approved by the City Council in November 2001, defines the neighborhood as the westernmost part of the city, west of Hiatus Road and north and south to the city limits. That runs from I-595 in the south to the city’s northern edge above Sunrise Boulevard, with Broward Boulevard and Flamingo Road crossing it. The Broward County Property Appraiser’s neighborhood layer names a dozen pieces inside it, including Plantation Acres itself, Sawgrass Plantation, Lago Mar Colony, Sunshine City, Melaleuca Isles, Blackhawk and The Outback.

Of the area’s street addresses, 66% are in ZIP code 33325 and 34% in 33323.

History. The plan says a developer started in 1963 with 2,000 acres and built 25 miles of roads and canals, offering lots of 1 to 5 acres. The first two families finished homes in 1964, and residents formed the Plantation Acres Homeowners Association in 1968. The area was annexed on Oct. 9, 1973, after votes of 247 to 10 in the Acres and Melaleuca Isles and 1,262 to 77 in Plantation, adding 2,601 acres to the city. The 2001 plan also recorded frequent flooding during heavy rains.

Schools

How the area’s addresses fall in Broward County’s 2025-26 school boundary layers, with each school’s 2026 grade from the Florida Department of Education. The percentage is the share of possible points the school earned.

The split follows two lines. West of Flamingo Road the zoned schools are Sawgrass Elementary and Bair Middle, both in Sunrise; east of it, Central Park Elementary and Plantation Middle. South Plantation High takes the addresses south of Broward Boulevard between Flamingo and Hiatus roads; everywhere else is zoned for Plantation High.

Home values

The typical home value in ZIP 33325 was $608,346 in August 2026, down 1.9% from $620,407 in August 2025, and in ZIP 33323 it was $518,649, down 1.7% from $527,508, 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 33325 under Davie and 33323 under Sunrise, so both figures include homes outside Plantation. The citywide Plantation figure was $495,099, down 2.1% on the year.
