Sea Ranch Lakes
Homes for sale in Sea Ranch Lakes emerge from just over 200 mostly single-family residential properties in a village (named for the famous Sea Ranch Hotel) that stretches from the A1A to the Intracoastal waterway on its western border in Broward County. Indeed, only twenty-eight estates (around 10% of the total) nestle directly on the latter Intracoastal waterway containing 100 linear-foot backyard boat slips with no fixed bridges to nearby Atlantic ocean outlets. Sea Ranch Lakes homes benefit from spectacular vistas of prolific seabird movement, flourishing Florida colorful foliage, and the never-ending parade of passing yachts. Several others overlook a magnificent, deliberately constructed, dual in-land lagoon system (Lake Seneca & Lake Cayuga), delivering stunning aqua-centric outlooks over vast waters and nature preserves. Finally, those on dry lots have designed their gardens to merge with the tropical vegetation and mature trees growing throughout the real estate footprint.
The Gore family initiated Sea Ranch Lakes' development in the 1950s on a barrier island (part of the popularly known "Shore Diving Capital of Florida"), making it a near-historic district with coastal Mediterranean architectural ranches and dimensions as small as 1,300 square feet under air (UA).

Sea Ranch Lakes Real Estate Price Analysis
When bidding for these gated community residence types, obtain details on the applicable fees. Our analysis indicates that monthly maintenance expenses in these scenarios range between 50c and $1 per square foot of condo ownership (UA).
Our MLS analysis over eighteen months in Sea Ranch Lakes revealed sixteen residences changing hands, ten single-family and six condo units (multi-family). The valuations were as follows:
Single-family:
-
- A minimally upgraded 1969 vintage ranch on a dry lot for $1.3 million ($573 per square foot UA) marked the bottom end of the price range.
- A 2004 vintage estate directly on the Intracoastal waterway estate ($1,405 per square foot UA) fetched the highest price - $6.8 million.
Multi-family:
-
- The condos we overviewed (1971 to 1979 vintage) sold between $505,000 and $835,000.
- Valuations ranged from $379 to $542 per square foot (UA).
Much depends on the level of seller upgrades, type of residence (i.e., single-family or multi-family), position in the tower (if a condo), and lot location on the Sea Ranch Lakes campus (if single-family). The valuation gaps, unsurprisingly, are massive with these variables in the mix.
