A boating enthusiasts’ paradise

Lined with waterways, the quiet and centrally located community of Garden Isles sits less than 3 miles inland from the white, sandy landscapes of Pompano Beach. Just 9 miles from Fort Lauderdale and nestled between the popular communities of Miami and Palm Beach, Garden Isles offers a coastal retreat. “Without the low McNab bridge in the way, folks can get a bigger boat out to the ocean, which is a huge consideration around here for boating enthusiasts,” says Jon Kroll, a local broker and owner of Kroll Realty with over 42 years of experience. “There’s still one fixed bridge, but it’s higher. The area is less expensive than neighborhoods east without fixed bridges, but with everything the CRA has been doing around the area, we’re going to see prices in this area go up,” Kroll says.

Condos, single-family and waterfront properties

Garden Isles includes a range of single-family homes, several waterfront properties, and some low-rise condominium complexes on the outskirts. Garden Isles mainly comprises single-family ranches built between the 1950s and 1970s — minimal traditional and Spanish-influenced ranch-style homes with tiled roofs and stucco siding are a common sight. In-ground pools are standard amenities, as are docks among the waterfront properties. Condominium units can start in the low $100,000s, with the median price for a two-bedroom unit around $225,000. The median price for a single-family home hovers around the mid $900,000s, ranging from the mid $500,000s for a two-bedroom ranch-style home to waterfront properties with private boat lifts that sell for as high as $2 million.

Outdoor recreation at Pompano Community Park

Lush and shaded, Sergeant Kip A. Jacoby Park is perfect for a picnic or a pick-up game of tennis. Formerly called Norwood Pine Park, the city renamed this neighborhood alcove to memorialize a longtime resident who lost his life in Afghanistan. Army Sgt. Jacoby loved to skateboard at his neighborhood park, and the space continues to be a site of relaxation and recreation for the community. Locals are also less than 3 miles away from the largest park in the city — Pompano Community Park. This community park boasts bike paths, sports fields, a dog park, an outdoor pool, an open-air theater for community events, and an 18-hole golf course.

Beachfront community events

Garden Isles locals are a short drive from the various annual events along the sandy shores and lively streets of Pompano Beach. Residents can enjoy a movie on the beach with family members during the Music Under the Stars series from September to May or munch down on a crab leg with friends at the Pompano Beach Seafood Festival. Old Town Untapped is another favorite, which brings the arts, Music, food and craft beer together every first Friday of the month.
