State FLORIDA CORAL SPRINGS (regional info) LA QUINTA INNS CORAL SPRINGS Coral Springs, officially chartered July 10, 1963, is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States, approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. According to the U.S. Census Bureau estimates of 2006, the city had a population of 129,805. It is part of the South Florida metropolitan area, which is home to 5,463,857 people. The city was master-planned and primarily developed by WCI Communities, then known as Coral Ridge Properties. The city's name is derived from the company's name, and was selected after several earlier proposals had been considered and rejected. Despite the name, there are no springs in the city; Florida's springs are found in the central and northern portions of the state. During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the young city grew rapidly, adding over 35,000 residents each decade. Coral Springs has a distinctive atmosphere among South Florida cities, due in part to its stringent codes designed to maintain the city's aesthetic appeal. The city government's effective fiscal management has maintained high bond ratings, and the city has won accolades for its overall livability, its low crime rate, and its family-friendly orientation. read full wikipedia reference about Coral Springs, Florida OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN FLORIDAAlachua Altamonte Springs Boca Raton Bonita Springs Boynton Beach Bradenton Brandon Clearwater Clermont Cocoa Coconut Grove Coral Gables Coral Springs Crestview Crystal River Davenport Daytona Beach Deland Deerfield Beach Defuniak Springs Delray Beach Destin Ellenton Florida City Fort Lauderdale Fort Myers Fort Pierce Fort Walton Gainesville Hollywood Islamorada Jacksonville Key Largo Key West Kissimmee Lake Buena Vista Lake City Lake Mary Lakeland Leesburg Marco Island Marianna Melbourne Miami Naples New Port Richey Ocala Orlando Ormond Beach Palm Beach Panama City Pensacola Plantation Pompano Beach Port St. Lucie Sanford Sanibel Sarasota Silver Springs Singer Island St. Augustine St. Cloud St. Petersburg Tallahassee Tampa Treasure Island Venice Vero Beach Wesley Chapel West Palm Beach Winter Haven |
