Homes in Coral Springs
Coral Springs's 47,770 homes are a mix: 49% detached houses, 42% apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes and 9% townhouses and other attached houses.
The 1980s and 1990s built 58% of today's homes, more than any other period we count. 28% are older than that and 14% newer. The median home dates from 1987. 60% of homes are lived in by their owners.
In nearby Margate, 3 miles away, 59% of homes were built before 1980, so Coral Springs's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Coral Springs's homes are newer than those in 77% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Apartments and condos
42% of homes are in buildings of two or more units. Balcony and patio doors suit bypass or bifold panels rather than hinged ones, which need floor space to swing. Check what your HOA or building allows to show from outside before you order: most rules are about the colour seen through the glass.
Rounded drywall corners
72% of homes here were built from 1980 on, and many houses of that era have rounded ("bullnose") drywall corners around the windows instead of square returns. A shutter can't sit flat against a curve: choose an outside mount with a frame that clears the corner, or an inside mount if the flat part of the opening is deep enough for your louvers.

Summer sun
On the 92 days a year above 90°F, closed louvers keep direct sun off the glass and out of the room. In a window that takes afternoon sun, white and light paint finishes stay cooler to the touch than dark stains.
Humid summers
Hot days and 56.6 inches of precipitation make for heavy summer air. Wood swells when it's humid, so give kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms some air: run the fan after a shower and tilt the louvers open so steam doesn't sit behind them.
