Schools

How the area’s parcels fall in Broward County’s 2025-26 school boundary layers, with each school’s 2026 grade from the Florida Department of Education and the share of possible points it earned.

Bayview Elementary earned an A in 2025 as well. All three schools are on the mainland, west of the Intracoastal. Zones can change from year to year; confirm an address with the district’s Find My School tool. More in our schools guide.

Home values

The typical home value in ZIP 33308 was $520,591 in August 2026, up 0.3% from $519,213 in August 2025, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, single-family homes and condos together, not a sale price, and 33308 also takes in mainland neighborhoods such as Coral Ridge Country Club Estates and Imperial Point, so it is not a Galt Mile figure. The citywide figure was $511,473, down 1.3% on the year. More in our home prices guide.
