I enjoy living and being from Southwest Ranches. Although it is as suburban as the rest of the area, in terms of location, Southwest Ranches has made it it’s mission to preserve and reflect a rural lifestyle. The location is far enough from the city that it’s not noisy but relatively close enough where the drive isn’t long if someone wants to experience nightlife or go to the beach. The nature of the town is beautiful and the community is tight-knit. There is also a form of independence in this town that I love. Overall, I have mainly positive reviews of the town if you prefer this form of lifestyle.
I love the environment here and how much peace and quiet there is on this side of the chaos of Weston. I live in a place where I know my neighbors and we occasionally have potlucks and get togethers, especially during the holiday season. I love my community!
I loved living in Southwest Ranches, FL. A great part about the town is that everyone has large plots of land, so you don't have to have the immediate view of their backyard. Homes also have long driveways meaning there is no hassle of having to keep your cars off the street like in an HOA regulated neighborhood. My favorite part is how relaxing it feels at night. Minimal street lights give a very "country-like" feeling with zero noise of cars passing by on nearby streets.
