About location

Tucked into South Florida’s low-lying Atlantic coastal plain, Fern Crest Village is a place whose character is shaped by engineered waterways and major transport corridors. It lies beside Florida’s Turnpike, the toll road that forms part of the state’s long north–south route linking the Miami area with central and northern Florida. Opened in 1957, the turnpike became a major element in the region’s suburban expansion. Canals and managed water bodies are equally central to this flat Broward County setting, where drainage infrastructure supports housing, commerce and busy roads on land once dominated by wetlands. Fern Crest Village reflects metropolitan South Florida away from the beachfront: a built-up, mobile landscape organized around flood control and regional connections.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
