Property tax · $521/mo 0.94% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Broward County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $713/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Cooper City is a suburban city in Broward County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Household incomes run well above the county's, and the share of adults with a four-year degree is high. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and daytime highs still pleasantly warm, while summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Cooper City are Walmart, Publix Super Markets and Arbor Terrace Cooper City, an assisted-living facility. Unemployment is a little higher than a year ago, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. A short drive away are Hard Rock Stadium, a large stadium, and the Miami International Autodrome, a race track. Farther afield, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is a botanical garden, and Pérez Art Museum Miami is a museum, both a longer drive away.
