Waterfront enclave in the heart of Fort Lauderdale
Nurmi Isles is accurately named. The waterfront enclave consists of four narrow islands divided by glistening canals on all sides. Many residents prefer to get around by boat as the neighborhood’s grand estate homes have direct deep-water access and private boat docks. Yet those staying on land are just a short walk from the vibrant shops and restaurants along Las Olas Boulevard nearby. “It’s a perfect spot for someone who wants to be in the middle of the action,” says Gilles Rais, Founder of the Gilles Fine Home Team at Coldwell Banker. “You’re within walking distance to the beach and 5-star restaurants. The area is just booming.” Just 2 miles from Downtown Fort Lauderdale, this waterfront enclave has unparalleled access to both the surf and the city.

Luxurious waterfront estates with private boat docks
The homes are almost as beautiful as the glistening waters of the Intracoastal Waterway below. Spanish and Mediterranean-styled houses dominate, with well-manicured front lawns and towering palm trees. Newer builds featuring ultra-modern architecture are also popular. Single-family residences range from $2.5 million to $10 million. Colorful townhouses and high-rise condos provide a multifamily option, costing between $500,000 and $2 million. “It’s a competitive market because those lots are super desirable,” Rais says. “If anything comes on the market for the right price, it goes quickly.” Flooding is a concern due to proximity to the water and the coast, but updated FEMA building codes have protected against water damage in recent years. Residents are encouraged to stay up to date on flood and wind insurance.
