Coral Edge Townhome Community in Margate: Pulte Adds to Broward’s Golf Course Redevelopment Trend

A closed golf course in Margate is lined up for a major change. PulteGroup, one of the biggest homebuilders in the country, bought the former Margate Executive Golf Course site at 7870 Margate Boulevard and plans the Coral Edge townhome community. Public reporting and builder materials describe a 132-unit townhome neighborhood with pricing that starts in the $500,000 range.

This is also part of a bigger real estate pattern in Broward. Golf course land is one of the last ways to add housing at scale in built-out suburbs. That is why this one deal is worth watching.

Key Takeaways

• The Coral Edge townhome community is planned on about 21 acres at 7870 Margate Boulevard, the former Margate Executive Golf Course. 

• Current public descriptions point to 132 townhomes around 1,690 to 1,730 square feet with amenities like a pool, clubhouse, and fitness center.

• City review records previously referenced 137 townhomes during early review steps, showing how plans can shift before a final buildout. 

What the Coral Edge townhome community is and where it sits in Margate

The Coral Edge townhome community is planned at 7870 Margate Boulevard on the site of the former Margate Executive Golf Course. Builder materials and public reporting describe a 132-unit townhome neighborhood in northeastern Broward County, built on roughly 21 acres. 

Pulte also positions the location around connectivity, noting it is about four miles from the Florida Turnpike with access to I-95 and the Sawgrass Expressway.

Public reporting says PulteGroup paid about $17.7 million to $18 million for the property. The price matters, but the land profile matters more. In a built-out part of Broward, a single 21-acre parcel under one owner is rare, and former golf course sites are some of the few places where a builder can create a full community without years of assembling small lots. 

What Pulte is planning at the Coral Edge townhome community

Public reporting and builder materials describe the Coral Edge townhome community as:

• 132 townhomes 

• Three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms 

• About 1,690 to 1,730 square feet 

• Amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, and fitness center 

Reporting describes pricing starting in the $500,000 range. The builder page does not publish full price sheets yet. So any “most will be in the low 600s” talk should be treated as market commentary until price lists and releases are public. 

Broward is not new to golf course redevelopment proposals

The Coral Edge townhome community is not the only golf course redevelopment story tied to PulteGroup in Broward. In Lauderhill, reporting has linked the builder to plans at the former Inverrary Country Club that include a large residential buildout alongside a new 18 hole golf course concept on the remaining land. Even though Coral Edge is a much smaller project, the underlying play is similar: take a golf course site and reposition it for housing.

That pattern keeps repeating across South Florida for a practical reason. Golf courses are some of the last large, single owner parcels left in built out areas. When a course stops operating, the land becomes one of the few places where a builder can add a full neighborhood without going vertical.

This is also why these projects often trigger strong reactions. Some nearby owners bought for open fairway views and feel like they are losing something they paid for. At the same time, cities have to decide what comes next for large properties that are no longer in active recreational use.

What changes for the area when a golf course becomes a townhome community

A golf course and a townhome neighborhood function very differently day to day, and the changes are not always obvious in early marketing for the Coral Edge townhome community.

Traffic and access

Golf courses spread activity across the day. A townhome community concentrates its activities around school and work hours. The practical questions are straightforward: where the entrances and exits will land, whether new turn lanes are planned, and whether traffic studies show up in city review packets.

Drainage and stormwater design

Golf course land is maintained to handle water in a specific way, with turf, irrigation, and wide open pervious areas. Once homes, streets, and parking are added, stormwater becomes a central part of the engineering. It is also one of the most common reasons site plans change during review as designers refine pond locations, drainage routes, and elevation strategy.

Views for nearby condos and homes

Some nearby owners bought into the area, expecting long, open fairway views. A townhome buildout changes that visual backdrop. This is often where neighborhood concern starts, especially for homes or condos that face the former course.

Pricing signals for nearby resale homes

New construction pricing can become a reference point for buyers shopping for resales nearby. That does not mean every surrounding home goes up in value. It means buyers start comparing monthly payments and asking a simple question: for a similar budget, what do I get in a resale home versus a new townhome?
