Bright waterfront homes surrounded by lush greenery in the Dolphin Isles neighborhood.
Waterfront single-family houses
"The home prices are comparable to any single-family waterfront communities east of the Intracoastal," Schmidt says. Early-2000s fenced-in Mediterranean-style homes on the canals sell for between $2.5 million and $6 million. There is a plethora of other home styles on the canal as well. "There are no fixed bridges, so people can have 100-foot-long boats on their docks and take them out onto the ocean," A 1980s Modern-style single-family house sells for $6.5 million. Stucco-exterior ranch styles are valued between $1.7 million and $2.5 million. Many homes have spas and backyard pools. The least expensive houses do not have direct canal access. Most are 1960s ranch-style houses with Mediterranean features assessed between $1.5 million and $2.7 million. "The neighborhood fares well during tropical storms, as evidenced by the fact that most of the properties were built in the 50s and 60s and are still there," Schmidt says. Condos built in the 1960s sell for between $310,000 and $530,000, and early-2000s condos sell for around $820,000.
