Sunrise apartments for rent

Sunrise, Florida, is a city in central-western Broward County, about 12 miles west of Fort Lauderdale and 30 miles northwest of Miami, with Weston, Davie, Tamarac, Lauderhill and Plantation as neighbors and the Everglades at its western edge. Developer Norman Johnson bought the land in 1960, and the city was first known as Sunrise Golf Village. It is home to Sawgrass Mills, the arena where the NHL's Florida Panthers play, and Sawgrass International Corporate Park, the largest corporate park in South Florida.

Portico Apartments and 10X Sawgrass are in the Sawgrass area on the city's west side. Portico has two waterfront pools, a lakeside walking path, a mini mart and a bark park with an agility course, and is NGBS Green Certified, but it adds several required monthly fees, so check the total. Vista Verde at Sunrise, off NW 44th Street, is flagged in county tax records as partly income-restricted. Our building files don't place any of these near rail, so plan on driving.

The Sawgrass Expressway begins at the I-75 and I-595 junction in Sunrise and runs north and east toward Coral Springs and Deerfield Beach. It is a cashless toll road paid by SunPass or toll-by-plate, with exits at Oakland Park and Commercial boulevards, and its Sunrise Boulevard interchange is its only free one. Big employers are close by: CIGNA has a large service and operations center in the city, Air France runs its US reservations call center in the Sawgrass Technology Park, Jazwares has its headquarters here, and Emerson chose Sawgrass International Corporate Park for its Latin America headquarters. The arena, opened in 1998, is now Amerant Bank Arena, and the city runs the Sunrise Civic Center, with a theater, an art gallery and an athletic club.

Sunrise suits people who work in the Sawgrass corporate parks or at the arena, and renters who want a suburban apartment on the western edge of Broward. Compare it with Plantation next door and Davie, and compare move-in totals with the move-in cost calculator.
