Coconut Creek is bounded by the neighborhoods of Boca Raton to the northeast, Pompano Beach Highlands and Deerfield Beach to the east, Pompano Beach to the southeast and Coral Springs to the west.
The idyllic community took its city name from coconut trees, which were planted by the property developers. Robert Bateman said that he took the inspiration from the Coconut Grove neighborhood and Indian Creek Village.
The master-planned city has a unique character, taking into consideration the environment and its impact to the community. Around the city, one can see an abundance of trees, landscaped roadways, lush greenery, and butterfly gardens.
With this, Coconut Creek was recognized by the Florida state as the first Community Wildlife Habitat. The city was even named by Money magazine as the 48th best small town to live in the U.S. In 2012, the city was named Playful City USA for its focused advocacy on giving children more avenues and opportunities for play.
