Emerald Isle sits inside Southwest Ranches, a stretch of Broward County known for its low-density, semi-rural feel where big lots and quiet streets take priority over sidewalks and strip malls. This is a small gated pocket, and the pace here reflects that — space to breathe, easy access to the Nova cluster of schools, and none of the churn you'd find closer to the city. Families gravitate here for the combination of privacy and the Nova High School draw, which pulls in students from across the district.
The market reality is simple: this is a thin, slow-moving neighborhood where inventory is nearly nonexistent. Right now there's a single active listing at $669,000, and only three homes have sold in the past twelve months. If Emerald Isle is on your list, watch the live map closely — when a home appears, it won't have much competition, but you also won't have many alternatives to fall back on.
Emerald Isle is a community in Southwest Ranches, Florida.

Emerald Isle FAQs
Is Emerald Isle a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a quiet, gated setting with room to spread out and strong school access through the Nova cluster. The trade-off is scale — this is a small, low-turnover pocket of Southwest Ranches, so it rewards people who value privacy over walkable amenities.
Is Emerald Isle expensive?+
It sits in the mid-market range for the area, with a median sold price of $677,000 over the past year and the current listing priced at $669,000. That's meaningfully below the million-dollar acreage estates Southwest Ranches is known for, though property taxes run around $10,571 a year.
What do homes cost in Emerald Isle?+
The one active listing is priced at $669,000, and homes here average about $426 per square foot on a median size near 1,572 square feet. Recent sales landed at a $677,000 median, so the active and sold numbers line up closely.
How is the market in Emerald Isle?+
It's slow and thin — only three homes sold in the last twelve months, and the current listing has been on the market about 97 days. Sellers are getting roughly 96% of asking, so pricing holds, but you may wait a while for the right home to surface on the live map.
What about HOA fees and taxes?+
HOA data isn't currently available for the neighborhood, but property taxes come in around $10,571 per year based on recent activity. Because this is a gated community, expect to confirm any association dues directly with the listing before you commit.
