Orchid Island FAQs
Is Orchid Island a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want space, privacy and a gated setting within the low-density feel of Southwest Ranches. The assigned Nova schools are a real draw for families, and the large homes fit a quieter, acreage-oriented lifestyle rather than a walkable urban one.
Is Orchid Island expensive?+
Yes — this is a $1 million-plus market, with a median list price of $1,172,500 and current listings between $1,095,000 and $1,250,000. Both active homes sit in the $1M+ tier, so there's no entry-level segment here.
What do homes cost in Orchid Island?+
The typical listing runs about $450 per square foot on a median home size of 2,606 square feet, and over the past year the median sold price was $1,055,000. Expect to compete in the low-to-mid $1 millions for a home in this community.
How is the market in Orchid Island?+
It's small and slow-moving: just 2 active listings, 2 homes sold in the past 12 months, and a median of 100 days on market. Sellers have averaged about 96% of asking, so there's modest negotiating room but limited inventory to choose from.
What about HOA and taxes in Orchid Island?+
Property taxes here run a median of about $12,927 per year, in line with the area's larger, higher-value homes. HOA figures aren't currently reported for the community, so confirm any dues directly on the specific listing you're considering.
