Coral Springs Real Estate: A Little History

What is now Coral Springs real estate was originally part of a vast 20,000-acre tract of marshy wilderness in west Broward County. Bought in 1961 for $1 million by three developers operating as Coral Ridge Properties, the land amounted to 3,860 acres. The plan, which entailed strict landscaping laws and a natural environment, projected a population of 50,000.
