In the 1920s, a number of real estate developers began planning launch new projects, many in southwest Pompano. In part, this was in reaction to the building of the Pompano Race Track and the hopes that it would be a major economic force in the community.

Among the developments were Avondale, Pen-Mar, Pompano Villa, Pompano Terrace, West Avondale, Sunyland, Lafayette and the Highlands.

Most didn't survive the collapse of the Florida Land Boom.
