What We Like:
The Broadlands community was developed with the outdoors in mind. The neighborhood flows around Stream Valley Park, made up of 150 acres of trails, wetlands, and wildlife preserves. The Broadlands Nature Center is the pride of the community. It’s a 5,000 square foot complex with animals, programs, and events that include a children’s nature program. Broadlands is a Certified Wildlife Habitat Community. Only 25 communities across the country have earned that designation from the National Wildlife Federation.
The community spirit is vibrant, with a calendar full of activities for all age groups. The Broadlands Live outdoor concerts have been going on for 16 years in the summer and feature local bands.
