<h3>About the Community</h3> <p>Margate sits in Broward County, approximately 12 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale and 40 miles north of Miami — close enough to major-city amenities while maintaining a genuine small-town feel. Outdoor recreation is abundant: water parks, three golf courses, and extensive park systems are all within the city, while the Fort Lauderdale coastline, nature centers, and historical sites are minutes away. Miami is less than an hour south, putting NBA, NFL, and MLB action — the Heat, Dolphins, and Marlins — well within reach, and South Florida's year-round warm climate makes this a compelling destination for physicians who value lifestyle alongside career.</p>
