Palm Aire, Florida was a special area in Broward County, Florida, known for its homes, businesses, and four golf courses. It was not a city on its own, but a "census-designated place." This means it was a specific area defined by the government for counting people.
Palm Aire included two main parts: Palm Aire Village, which had many single-family houses, and Palm Aire Country Club. The Country Club was a very large property, about 5,000 acres (20 square kilometers), with many different types of homes like condominiums and villas, plus its four golf courses. Today, Palm Aire is no longer a separate area. It has become part of the nearby cities of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach.
