Tamarac is a very chill neighborhood with everything like stores, schools, and job places being close by. The weather can be bipolar just like the state but overall not as bad and not a flood area depending on the weather. Depending on where you are in Tamarac you can be close to an other area for example Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines, or even Sunrise. Since everything is pretty much close together you won't have to travel that far unless you go to work, grocery stores, and other places you visit regularly. Lastly, a good place with a lot of good schools nearby for the kids.

I find Tamarac to be a very loving and well rounded environment to be apart of. It is very suburban and safe. The people there love it here and it is very clean. It has all the conveniences of modern life, you would ever want relatively close to each other. It is the furthest thing away from a food desert. A potential downside for someone moving here would be the night scene and party life. We are a bit too suburban for it. Also, even though it is relatively easy to get around, the city itself is not walkable. It is a great place to live and I would recommend it to anyone.

it was fine. I liked that it was safe and easy to find homes. I liked the schools. I liked how close it was to Coral Springs, the neighboring city.
