Southwest Ranches is a peaceful country-style community in southwest Broward County that feels very different from most of South Florida. Large properties, horses, barns, farms, nurseries, wildlife, and open green spaces are all part of everyday life here. The town was created in part to protect this rural way of life, and that country feeling is still a big part of what makes Southwest Ranches special.

People who love the outdoors have plenty of room to enjoy it. Southwest Ranches has more than 150 acres of parks and open space, along with over 25 miles of trails. Residents can enjoy horseback riding, walking, fishing, nature trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, and peaceful places such as Sunshine Ranches Equestrian Park and Southwest Meadows Sanctuary.

Even though Southwest Ranches feels quiet and private, it is still close to shopping, restaurants, major highways, and nearby cities such as Davie, Weston, and Pembroke Pines. With larger homesites, open space, equestrian living, and a slower pace, Southwest Ranches is a special place for families, horse lovers, and anyone who wants more privacy and room to breathe.
