Moving to Plantation area

Hi All, I will be moving to South Florida soon for my work. Looking for recommendations to rent a 1 bed apartment in or nearby Plantation. Few apartment locations I am considering are :

1. The waves apartment - Plantation
2. Del Oro Apartments - Plantation
3. Midora at Woodmont - Tamarac
4. 8800 Lakeside - Tamarac
5. Sherwood on the park - Coral Springs
6. Coral Falls - Coral Springs
7. Vue on 67th - Davie

Anyone has any idea about these locations? I am moving out of Chandler, Arizona which is a very quiet, safe and family oriented place so I would prefer such areas here as well. I am willing to drive 25 - 30 mins for work to Plantation. Any apartment suggestions beyond mentioned above are greatly appreciated. (Budget upto $1800)
