Polynesian Gardens is a garden-style condominium community of five-story buildings (registered as Parts 1-5) at 400 NW 68th Avenue in central Plantation, built in 1973 amid the mature tropical landscaping that inspired its name. With 475 units, it is one of the larger older condo communities in the city, run by a self-titled association with its own community website (pgc400.com) and on-site management office. The location sits just south of Broward Boulevard, minutes from the Plantation Midtown business district, Westfield Broward mall, and the FL-595 corridor to downtown Fort Lauderdale about 15 minutes east. One-bedroom units around 900 square feet trading near $190K keep it firmly in Broward's affordable inland tier.

Florida condominiums of this age are subject to milestone inspection and structural reserve requirements. Our Intelligence Report covers what official city and county records show for this building, and what remains for a buyer to verify with the association.
When you buy into a condo building that's 15 or more years old — anywhere in the US — you should expect by default that an assessment, or several, is in effect or on the way: roof repairs, elevator replacement, repaving, facade work. Buildings age on a schedule, and the bill lands on the owners: often hundreds of dollars a month on top of your mortgage, HOA fee, taxes, and insurance. The unit listing rarely mentions any of it.
In Florida, the stakes for older buildings are higher still. Since the 2021 Surfside tragedy, state law requires milestone structural inspections at 30 years (25 in some coastal areas), Structural Integrity Reserve Studies, and — critically — bars associations from waiving reserve funding for structural components, ending decades of artificially low fees. Add the state's insurance surge, and many older buildings carry obligations that never appear in a listing. None of this makes an older building a bad purchase — but the difference between a well-run 1970s tower and a struggling one can be tens of thousands of dollars per unit. That's the question our building intelligence answers.
