Idlewyld

It's a compact waterfront neighborhood built for boaters, with deep-water canal access, large pool homes, and proximity to Fort Lauderdale's beach and the New River. Assigned schools include Nova High School and Nova Blanche Forman Elementary. It suits buyers who want privacy and water access over a dense, walkable street grid.

Yes — it's one of Fort Lauderdale's premier waterfront addresses. Every active listing is priced above $1M, the median list price is $5,047,500, and the range runs from $2,250,000 to $19,950,000. For a more accessible entry into the area, buyers sometimes look at neighboring communities like Galt Mile.

Active listings currently sit at a median of $5,047,500, with an average of about $1,531 per square foot on a median home size of 4,567 square feet. Over the past 12 months, two homes sold at a median price of $3,097,000, so actual traded prices can land below asking on the larger listings.

Inventory is very limited at just 6 active listings, and homes take time to sell — the median is 157 days on market. That said, sellers are averaging about 99% of asking, so well-priced waterfront homes still close near their numbers. You can track new listings on the live map.

There's no typical HOA figure reported for the neighborhood, which fits its low-density, single-family character. Property taxes are substantial given the values here, with a median around $43,247 per year. Budget for taxes and waterfront insurance as major carrying costs alongside the purchase price.
