Unlike Plantation, Davie, and Tamarac in this same batch, Sunrise does not have a hospital located within its own city limits. The nearest options are HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital and HCA Florida Westside Hospital, both roughly 3.9 miles from Sunrise -- a short drive, but a real distinction worth knowing before assuming in-city emergency care.
Crime runs moderate, with a favorable long-term trend
One source cites the odds of becoming a victim of violent or property crime in Sunrise at 1 in 83, describing the city as less safe than the Florida state average but safer than the national average. A separate 21-year crime-trend analysis reports both violent and property crime trending downward over that period, with the 2026 crime rate expected to run lower than in 2019.
