Normandy Lakes

Normandy Lakes presents a whole new look families living in this established area of Broward County. Normandy lakes provides a touch of the French countryside to this neighborhood. The community is situated at the corner of Palm Avenue and Taft Street.

The community's six different single- family home designs have an architectural theme inspired by residences in the picturesque Normandy province of France. Designed by the architectural firm of JHG Brenner & Jones, the homes have attractive, high-pitched roofs covered in a concrete slate-style tile. Instead of having one large roof over a box-shape residence, there are several roofs over different areas creating a multidimensional look and adding character to each home. The country French charm of these residences is captured in the mullion windows that are used in a variety of styles.

Although they blend well with the surrounding neighborhoods in Pembroke Lakes, the homes at Normandy have their own unique color scheme and landscape. Great attention has been given to the stucco bonding on these residences, with quoins and other shapes added for interest and style. The two-car garages have an elegant wide arch frame accented by attractive coach lights.

Normandy at Pembroke Lakes is surrounded by waterways on three sides. The front side of the property is framed with an attractive perimeter wall that reflects the French country theme of the home designs. The entrance to the community is landscaped with six oak trees that have been transplanted from within the community as well as a variety of Florida trees, shrubs and plants. Normandy's gated entry insures privacy and security for its home owners and welcomes their visiting friends and families. Inside this picturesque neighborhood, residents enjoy the beauty of a landscape design by a firm who has planned award-winning landscaping for many prestigious communities in South Florida.

Normandy residents relax and meet their neighbors at the community recreation center. There they can swim, lounge on the sun deck, or play with their children at the community's private tot lot. Near this recreation center is a bird preserve with a grove of trees that hat been retained to protect a bird roost. It is a great spot to visit in the evenings, when the egrets and herons return for the night.
