Sea Ranch Lakes Fort Lauderdale is one of the more unusual places in South Florida since it manages to simultaneously function as both a traditional gated community and its own city.  Indeed, Sea Ranch Lakes has its own city council, its own police department and it even goes as far as having its own mayor.  Just moments from the beach, Sea Ranch Lakes is also where you’ll find the bodies of water of Lake Cayuga and Lake Seneca.

Sea Ranch Lakes homes are very close to Fort Lauderdale Beach, right across the street in some cases.  Similar to other neighborhoods with beach homes, prices are unusually affordable considering the location so it’s not that uncommon to find something like a four bedroom Sea Ranch Lakes home for a little more than $800,000.  If you’re looking for something a little higher end, you can upgrade to a $4 million five bedroom home with just over 6000 square feet of living area and a boat dock.
