South Florida is a land of plenty. Plenty of beaches, plenty of amenities, plenty of palm trees, and, increasingly, plenty of people. With development on the rise, Fort Lauderdale and Miami in the parameters, and living on the (relatively) cheap, South Florida is seeing an influx of young families seeking sunny skies ahead and finding them right here in the Sunshine state. And if you’re wondering in which cities most newcomers are finding those sunny skies, read on. These are some of the fastest-growing cities in South Florida.

Palm Springs
No doubt about it, Palm Springs is hot. Not only in terms of temperature, but also in terms of real estate. One of the most desirable destinations in South Florida, Palm Springs is currently holding steady at number 6 on the list of the fastest-growing cities in SoFlo, making the climatically blessed region a veritable real estate hot spot. With a population of 24,455, up from 18,668 in 2010, an A + in amenities, an A- in weather, and the median price for homes at a considerable 42.1 percent lower than the rest of Florida get Palm Springs while you can. This year, the over year appreciation rate for homes is at 10.1 and the five-year appreciation rate is at 10.7.

Parkland
Up until recently, Parkland was practically off the map. The quiet upscale neighborhood, known for its pristine parks, manicured bike paths, and strict zoning laws, was home to a mere 22,000 as of 2010. Now, thanks to its neighborhood developments, it comes in at number 7 on the list of the fastest-growing in South Florida.
So, what are the stats on this tiny city? Its population has risen to 28,901 in the last decade; it gets a 77 out of one hundred as its liveability score, which ranks it as one of the best places to live in the country. It gets a B+ for amenities, an A+ for crime, an A for the weather, an A+ for education, and an A- for unemployment. The only thing it doesn’t score highly in is housing cost. Median real estate comes in at 193.8% higher than the Florida average. Still, a nice piece of the pie, if you have the dough for it.
