Search Dolphin Isles on the map

Dolphin Isles is a compact waterfront enclave in eastern Fort Lauderdale, where canal-front lots and easy access to the Intracoastal define daily life. This is a boater's neighborhood at heart — of the handful of homes on the market, most come with a pool, and the streets stay quiet and residential. It's the kind of pocket that trades on water access and a low-key, established feel rather than big-name amenities, and it sits within reach of the broader Fort Lauderdale homes for sale market and nearby communities like Galt Mile and Gingerwood Place.

For a buyer today, this is a tight, high-end market: just 5 homes are active, with a median list price of $1,425,000 and everything priced above $1M. Homes here have been selling around $2,000,000, and with sellers averaging 86% of asking, there's real room to negotiate. Browse what's available on the live map and expect to move deliberately — inventory is thin and each listing is distinct.

Dolphin Isles is a community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
