Broward County is known for its numerous waterways, beautiful beaches, and vibrant lifestyle. Through the years, the demand for luxury housing in the area has grown with the influx of people wanting a piece of Florida’s sun, sand, and scenery.
If you’re planning to move to Broward County but can’t decide on a neighborhood, here’s a quick guide to the best luxury neighborhoods in the area.
HARBOR BEACH
One of Fort Lauderdale’s most elite communities, Harbor Beach is on the southeastern part of the city with its entire eastern border facing the open sea. This established neighborhood has its own marina and beach club, giving credence to Fort Lauderdale’s reputation as the “Venice of America” and the yachting capital of the world. It is a gated neighborhood of multi-million-dollar properties, most of which have private docks for yachts. Both waterfront properties and inland estates make up the community. It is also located not far from the city’s entertainment district, boutiques, galleries, and the airport.
LAS OLAS ISLES
If you’re looking to enjoy the yachting lifestyle, check out this exclusive waterfront community in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Composed of parallel islands (from west to east: Seven Isles, Hendricks Isle, Isle of Venice, Royal Plaza Drive, Nurmi Isles, and Riviera Isles) divided by canals, this neighborhood is primarily composed of gorgeous waterfront properties amid tree-lined streets. The canals provide residents with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, the streets are all connected to Las Olas Boulevard which takes you either to Las Olas Beach if traveling east or to other Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods and the bustling downtown area if traveling west.
BAY COLONY
Bay Colony is one of the most exclusive and sought-after waterfront communities in Fort Lauderdale, with its deep waterways and convenient location. It has a guard-gated entrance with round-the-clock security and is a short drive to Pine Crest School, one of the best private schools in all of Florida.
CORAL RIDGE ISLES
Coral Ridge Isles is the perfect community for those who want easy access to the water while being close to essentials such as education and healthcare. While relatively inland, it’s only less than a mile from the open sea to the east. A network of canals that crisscross the area is linked to the Intracoastal Waterway, allowing residents easy access to the waters of the Atlantic. These canals result in the presence of both waterfront and inland homes in this luxurious community. On its borders are Cypress Creek Road to the north, Commercial Boulevard to the south, Northeast 18th Avenue to the east, and Dixie Highway to the west.
SEA RANCH LAKES
One of the best luxury neighborhoods in Florida with most real estate values hitting way past $1 million, Sea Ranch Lakes is a small gated community with both dry lot homes and waterfront homes. This exclusive community has its own security patrol, plus a mini mayor overseeing community matters. It is surrounded by Pompano Beach to the north, Lauderdale By The Sea to the south, and Fort Lauderdale to the west. Two man-made lakes can be found here, as well as an oceanfront beach club where residents can enjoy various water activities.
