     Rise to the dawning of exciting possibilities in the sophisticated city of culture, opportunities, and experiences, Sunrise — a bustling hub with a strong economy, top-tier entertainment, diverse residential communities, and irresistible urban charm.  

    Find the heart and soul of a small town in the thriving cosmopolitan city of Sunrise, a gateway to many residential, business, entertainment, and cultural opportunities, and the stage for spectacular, color-washed sunsets at the crossroads of the Tri-County region. 

    Located in Broward County's central-western section, Sunrise has a total area of 18.12 square miles and is one of Florida's most progressive incorporated municipalities with an unwavering dedication to sustainability, development, and its history. 

    It is bordered north by Tamarac, the suburb of Plantation to its south, the Fort Lauderdale community of Lauderhill to its east, and Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869) at its western edge, leading into the vast Everglades Conservation Area. 

     It is home to 97,335 residents as of the latest US Census. 

     Sunrise — its very name suggests hope, growth, and evolution, providing a touch of positivity, not just to its residents but to each of the million national and international visitors it welcomes annually.

    Indeed, you can say that this blossoming community lives up to its name, maybe even exceed it, especially in its natural beauty, lush landscaping, and long-standing commitment to developing and maintaining itself as a self-sufficient locale that preserves its past as it plans the future.

    But while Sunrise has emerged as Broward County's leader in commerce due to its ever-expanding job market and as a coveted address with first-rate services and quality-of-life facilities for its growing population, it has never lost its timeless suburban allure and welcoming ambiance, elevating the city to be more than just a place to hang your hat but a proud travel destination, too! 

     One of the best reasons to visit Sunrise? Oh, we know you know — but hey, we'll still say it because we love a good drumroll.

    It's SHOPPING, of course!

    The zip code to the internationally renowned shopping and dining destination of  Sawgrass Mills , Sunrise offers you a VIP pass to a 2.7-million-square-foot retail mecca known as one of the country's largest outlet and value shopping malls, where drawing bargain hunters and fashion lovers from around the world explore hundreds of stores, from luxury brands to unbeatable outlet deals, and an impressive lineup of restaurants. 

    No, this isn't just a shopping trip — a day in Sawgrass Mills is an adventure amidst 400+ name-brand retail stores and couture brands, including the likes of Barneys New York, Coach, Crate & Barrel, David Yurman, Miss Sixty, Salvatore Ferragamo, Hugo Boss, Kate Spade, Cole Haan, and more!

    Another great thing about Sunrise is its access to award-winning indoor and outdoor recreation facilities — yes, we are not talking about shopping malls!

    First on our list is  Sawgrass Sanctuary , a 20-acre park and learning center with a hiking/bicycling trail, fishing pier, and boardwalk. 

    If golf is the name of your game, visit the city's newly-renovated  The Bridges at Springtree Golf Club  , a public golf course and event venue offering a par-62, 4,042-yard course and a luxurious, 7,000-square-foot clubhouse with a pro shop and a casual restaurant & bar for post-game meals and drinks.

    Sunrise is also the proud home of  Sunrise Tennis Club , a premier tennis facility with 11 Hydrocourt clay courts, four asphalt-based cushioned courts, and a clubhouse with a players' lounge, pro shop, and locker rooms.

    Then, there's the  Sunrise Civic Center  , a multi-purpose community hub for recreation, culture, and fitness. 

    Here, you'll find a modern fitness center with equipment and training programs, an aquatics complex with multiple swimming pools, a theatre, an outdoor amphitheater hosting live performances, events, and entertainment, an art gallery filled with exhibits from local and regional artists, and grand ballrooms. 

    Meanwhile,  Amerant Bank Arena  , another iconic Sunrise destination, is a 20,000-seat, $225 million multi-purpose venue that hosts more than 100 major entertainment events annually.

    Known as Florida Panthers' stomping ground, Amerant Bank Arena features a heliport, 74 private suites, three function rooms for meetings and events, and four luxurious clubs. 

    Within Sawgrass Mills,  The Oasis  provides an exciting day or night (or day-to-night!) spot amidst 330,000 square feet of entertainment, dining, and more, including a 23-screen Regal Cinema! 

     A true flora-and-fauna explorer at heart? 

    Thanks to Sunrise's 250+ acres of municipal green space, from small neighborhood parks to large facilities with top-tier amenities, all you need to do is choose a trail, a playground, or a picnic table — and let the fresh air do the rest!

    Our favorites are   Welleby Park  ,   Markham Park   (this one has a model airplane field, lakes for jet-skiing, and a target range!),  Oak Hammock Park  , and  Flamingo Park  ! 

    Roaring for more of South Florida?

    While Sunrise offers plenty to keep you on your toes, its prime location means you're never far from even more new experiences across Broward County and beyond.

    Just traverse the lengths of major highways like I-75, I-595, and the Sawgrass Expressway, and you'll be at Fort Lauderdale's beaches, Miami's nightlife, or Weston's scenic retreats in no time!

                  Sawgrass Mills              

                    Sawgrass Sanctuary                

                     Amerant Bank Arena                 

    Some places force you to choose which aspects of a community matter most. 

    City energy or suburban tranquility? Entertainment or green space? Convenience or charm?

     Sunrise makes no such demands.  

    Instead, it hands you the best of everything on a silver platter — and then some.

    A dynamic community with a suburban heart and soul, Sunrise invites you to shop like a tourist, dine like a foodie, and live like a local — all in one day.  

    Whether you're looking for a home base with unlimited access to everything you love about South Florida or a peaceful retreat with city perks just around the corner, Sunrise proves that living in this corner allows you to have it all! 

    First — a picture-perfect home (or a condo or townhome, depending on your preference).

    Sunrise's real estate scene is as versatile as its lifestyle, perfect for those seeking a cozy starter home in a friendly neighborhood, a modern townhome near shops and nightlife, or even a gated property with golf course views or lakefront serenity. 

    Yes, Sunrise has that, too!

    Many Sunrise homes feature spacious layouts, private backyards, and scenic water views, blending comfort with a laid-back elegance, all within a price range catering to different budgets (mostly high-end, but worth the extra bucks!).

    But while the homes are fantastic, what ultimately makes Sunrise shine is everything beyond your front door. 

    Here, you can proudly say you live just a few blocks from one of the largest shopping and entertainment destinations in the country, a star-studded arena hosting global superstars, NHL action, and must-see events year-round, and over 250 acres of parks, trails, and lakes offering the perfect escape into nature. 

    Not to mention that Sunrise serves a taste of everything (literally!), from trendy eats to beloved local dining spots! 

    Another feature families move to Sunrise for is its family-friendly atmosphere. 

    Think top-rated schools like Sawgrass Elementary, Bair Middle, and Piper High, active community programs, a strong sense of belonging, and a strategic location at the heart of the Tri-County region, keeping everything within reach. 

    In fact, with I-75, I-595, and the Sawgrass Expressway nearby, residents enjoy fast access to Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Palm Beach. 

     Need beaches? You're just 30 minutes from the coastline. 

     Prefer the Everglades? They're right next door. 

     Do you want weekend getaways? Orlando's only a few hours north.

    The essence of living in Sunrise can be easily summed up into these four words: this city GETS it.  

    It understands that you shouldn't have to choose between excitement and ease or vibrant city perks and the comfort of home.  

     At Sunrise, you find a lifestyle that truly fits. 

     Consider Sunrise your top-secret lifestyle hack — a travel destination disguised as a hometown offering all-day shopping sprees, a refreshing break from the city life at parks and sparkling lakes, and entertainment just a stone's throw away. 

    And if you look beyond the surface, you'll see a thriving city brimming with opportunities, a strong sense of community, and a life that balances excitement with ease. 

    Here, weekdays feel effortless, weekends feel endless, and your only real challenge is deciding what to do next.  

    So whether staying for good or just getting a taste of what Sunrise offers, one thing's for sure — once you've experienced it, everywhere else feels like the prequel.
