The Lakes is a small, gated pocket of Southwest Ranches where waterfront lots and quiet cul-de-sacs define the everyday rhythm. Of the six homes currently active, five sit behind gates and three front the water, so the sense of privacy here is real, not marketing.

For a buyer today, this is a low-inventory, high-value corner of Broward. The median list price is $930,000, and homes that sold over the past year closed at a median of $987,500 — with sellers pulling in about 96% of asking.
