The Islands is a small enclave inside Southwest Ranches, where gated streets and a couple of true waterfront lots set the tone. It's the kind of place people move to for space and quiet without giving up an easy line into the rest of Broward County, and the household names in schools here — from Nova Blanche Forman Elementary to Nova High School — draw families who plan to stay a while.
Right now the market is thin and priced with intent: just 7 active listings, a median list of $950,000, and homes taking a median of 88 days to sell. Over the last year 12 homes traded at a median of $1,003,125, with sellers netting about 95% of asking — a sign that buyers here negotiate but well-priced homes still move.

The Islands FAQs
Is The Islands a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want gated privacy and larger homes while staying inside Broward County. The neighborhood feeds into the Nova school cluster, and with only seven homes on the market it keeps a quiet, low-turnover feel. See current listings on the live map.
Is The Islands expensive?+
Yes, by Broward standards — the median list price is $950,000 and homes have sold at a median of $1,003,125 over the past year. Three of the seven active listings are priced above $1 million, so budget accordingly for the gated and waterfront options.
What do homes cost in The Islands?+
Active prices run from $725,000 to $1,750,000, with a median list of $950,000 and an average of about $430 per square foot. The median home is roughly 2,255 sqft, so most buyers are shopping in the mid-to-high six figures and up. It's part of the broader Southwest Ranches market, which skews larger and more expensive than surrounding areas.
How is the market right now?+
It's a slow-moving, low-inventory market: 7 active listings, a median of 88 days on market, and 12 sales in the last year. Sellers are getting about 95% of asking on average, so pricing is firm but there's still room to negotiate on the right home.
