Hidden at the northwest edge of Coral Springs, Whispering Woods is a gated enclave where one-acre estates sit beneath soaring cypress and slash-pine canopies. Developed in the late 1980s on former ranchland, the neighborhood preserves its rustic character—no streetlights, generous setbacks, and a chorus of tree frogs that replaces city traffic at night. From the moment you pass the stone guardhouse and roll along Whispering Woods Drive’s winding curve, it feels less like suburbia and more like a private country retreat—yet Sawgrass Expressway commuters are only five minutes away.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Estate Living in a Nature Preserve
Lots here average just over 43,000 sq ft, allowing residents to design resort-style back yards: lagoon pools, pickleball sport courts, even guest casitas disguised as carriage barns. Nearly every property backs onto a preserved greenbelt or natural lake, ensuring privacy and wildlife sightings—sandhill cranes stroll the lawns and barred owls perch on bougainvillea hedges at dusk. HOA rules limit home additions but encourage native landscaping; a quarterly “yard tour” awards bragging rights for the best butterfly garden.
Trails, Lakes & Horseback Rides
Equestrians love Whispering Woods’ private bridle path that loops 2.7 miles beneath the shade canopy and connects directly to Broward County’s Greenway Trail network. Joggers and cyclists share the crushed-shell shoulder in the mornings, while anglers cast for peacock bass in the three interior lakes after work. A residents-only kayak launch makes sunrise paddles effortless, and holiday flotillas of decorated paddleboards have become a new December tradition.
Everyday Convenience
Although the gates feel remote, essentials stay close. Publix, Sprouts, and Costco line Wiles Road within seven minutes; Parkland’s upscale eateries and Whole Foods sit ten minutes north on SR-441. Cleveland Clinic Hospital and HCA Florida Northwest are both 15-minute drives, and top-ranked schools—Country Hills Elementary, Forest Glen Middle, and Coral Springs High—each lie within a five-mile radius. Families appreciate that younger kids still ride bikes to school along quiet interior streets patrolled 24/7 by a dedicated guard service.
Recreation & Culture
Head east and you’ll hit Cypress Park’s aquatic center and pickleball complex in under ten minutes; head west and you’re at the Sawgrass Recreation Area, gateway to airboat tours across the River of Grass. Weekend golfers split tee times between Heron Bay Golf Club and the redesigned Country Club of Coral Springs, both less than five miles away. For arts and dining, Coral Springs Center for the Arts hosts Broadway roadshows, and Parkland Farmers’ Market draws gourmet-food trucks every other Sunday from October through April.
Getting Around South Florida
The Sawgrass Expressway (SR-869) entrance on Coral Ridge Drive is a straight shot south, placing Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport 30 minutes away and downtown Miami just under an hour (traffic gods permitting). Morning commuters who prefer rail park at Tri-Rail’s Cypress Creek station 20 minutes east, while north-south day-trippers hop onto Florida’s Turnpike via the Atlantic Boulevard ramp. Despite these links, most errands stay hyper-local—The Walk in Coral Springs, Parkland Commons, and Boca’s Uptown retail district all sit inside a leisurely 20-minute bubble.
Why Choose Whispering Woods?
Few South-Florida neighborhoods offer one-acre zoning, equestrian access, and lush hardwood preserves without pushing you into rural outposts. Whispering Woods merges true elbow-room living with city-level conveniences: A-rated schools, elite hospitals, and eclectic dining are minutes away, yet night skies still reveal constellations you forgot existed. For buyers who want space to spread out—whether for a stable of horses, classic-car garage, or multigenerational compound—Whispering Woods stands in a league of its own.
