Ask three people where Maplewood is and you'll get three answers, because "Maplewood" in Coral Springs is an umbrella name, not a single subdivision. It covers a stretch of east-central Coral Springs (zip 33071) off Ramblewood Drive and Vestal Drive, near the University Drive and Atlantic Boulevard intersection — and inside that umbrella sit three very different kinds of housing. Sorting them out first makes a rental search here dramatically simpler.
The three Maplewoods
- Open single-family streets — the bulk of the area: ranch-style homes built roughly 1976–1997, averaging around 2,400 sq ft, on streets in the NW 16th–20th Street range. Many of these have no HOA, which for a renter means the only approval that matters is the landlord's — typically the fastest path to keys in the city.
- Maplewood Isle — a 24-hour guard-gated enclave of about 104 custom homes ringed by canals, with only two roads in or out. Homes here run 4,000–6,000 sq ft and list around the million-dollar mark; rentals are rare, and the gate means association procedures when they do appear.
- University Maplewood — a small community of 55 townhouses near University Drive, up to about 1,200 sq ft with a shared pool; association fees there cover roof, pool, insurance and trash.
One caution from our own research: published HOA details for this area are thin and sometimes contradictory (there's even an unrelated "Maplewood HOA" in Naples that turns up in searches). Where an association is involved, treat any fee or approval figure you read online as unconfirmed until the association itself states it — that verification is part of what we do before you apply.
Schools
Maplewood Elementary anchors the neighborhood on Ramblewood Drive, with Ramblewood Middle and J.P. Taravella High the commonly zoned upper schools. As everywhere in Broward, zoning follows the exact address — verify a specific home through the district's boundary tool before you sign, especially near the area's edges.
Daily life
Maplewood sits in the middle of everything east-central Coral Springs offers: Cypress Park and Mullins Park for fields, courts and trails, Coral Square Mall and the Publix-anchored centers on University Drive for errands, and the Atlantic Boulevard corridor west to the Sawgrass Expressway for commuters. The Florida Panthers IceDen and the Coral Springs Museum of Art are minutes away.
What it costs
On listing sites in early September 2026, apartment-style units around Maplewood averaged roughly $1,900 for one-bedrooms and $2,200 for two-bedrooms, and a University Maplewood 3/2 townhouse (~1,380 sq ft) was asking $2,700 — asking prices, not signed rents. For what tenants actually pay across our managed Coral Springs portfolio — median $2,000/month — see the Coral Springs rent index.
The honest fit
Maplewood is a strong search area for renters who want an established family neighborhood with schools and parks in walking-or-five-minutes range — and its no-HOA streets are the closest thing Coral Springs has to a fast lane for move-ins. Set expectations accordingly for the Isle (spectacular, gated, rarely for rent) and the townhouses (small community, association rules apply), and the area rewards the search.
