Certain places in Broward, Palm Beach counties are expensive to reside. In addition, they can be the locations of official or commercial establishments. Under such circumstances, one has to reside in a nearby city and commute to office or business on a daily basis. This type of community is known as the bedroom community. Miramar is one such bedroom community in Broward County.
Founded in 1955, Miramar had only about 200 residents at that time. The estimated population today is around 139,000.

Bounded on land on all the four sides, this city has Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, West Park, and Miami-Dade County as its bordering towns. Miramar literally means ‘Facing the Sea’.

This is a characteristic of the bedroom community.
Considering the population, you have good schools available in this town. The City of Miramar is the largest employer with around 900 employees. In fact, that should be an issue because most of the residents go to the nearby towns for employment.
