Pembroke Pines a town in Florida.
Suburban Pembroke Pines is a pretty, well-kept community of condominiums, lush townhouses, and expansive man-made lakes and shopping strips. As a typical rule, the further west one travels, the more opulence the lifestyle entails. Pembroke Pines is a decent shopping destination for South Florida, but functions mainly as a suburb for the more urban nearby Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami.
