A guard-gated neighborhood of 315 households north of Las Olas Boulevard, with the Intracoastal along its east and north sides.
Seven Isles sits north of Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. The Seven Isles Homeowners Association’s history page says the Intracoastal Waterway borders the east and north sides of the neighborhood. It places Sunrise Key and Sunrise Intracoastal to the north, Central Beach to the east, Idlewyld and Riviera Isles to the south, Las Olas Isles to the southwest, and Nurmi Isles to the west.
The association and the Council of Fort Lauderdale Civic Associations describe 315 households and nine streets: Aqua Vista Boulevard, Barcelona Drive, Castilla Isle, Del Mar Place, De Sota Drive, De Sota Terrace, Pelican Isle, Sea Island Drive, and Seven Isles Drive. Seven Isles Drive was previously SE 23rd Avenue and NE 23rd Avenue; the association, formed in 1986, had the name changed. The City of Fort Lauderdale officially recognized the Seven Isles Homeowners Association for 2026.
City property records show the neighborhood as almost entirely single-family homes, with a smaller number of vacant residential parcels. The association’s own household count, 315, matches that single-family character. The history page also describes the area as about 80 acres, with early 1920s development work by W.F. Morang & Sons. Those earlier marketing names, Lauderdale Isles and Lauderdale Shores, are not the same as today’s Lauderdale Isles neighborhood elsewhere in the city.
The association is guard-gated. Its site describes a 24/7 staffed guardhouse with controlled access for residents and guests. The CFLCA profile notes that residents designed and built the guardhouse after the association was formed.
City maps name interior waterways in the neighborhood, including Lago Balboa, Rio Aragon, Rio Barcelona, Rio De Sota, Rio Giraldo, and Rio Toledo. Combined with the association’s statement that the Intracoastal borders the east and north, lot position still varies street by street. Dockage, depth, and bridges should be checked for the specific property and vessel. I check those details against your boat before we tour, including how a given lot sits relative to the Intracoastal. See my Fort Lauderdale bridge schedules guide for openings and clearances.

Can I keep a boat at a Seven Isles home?
Many lots have water frontage, but dockage, depth, and bridges have to be checked for the specific property and vessel, including how close a lot is to the Intracoastal. I run that check before we tour.
Is Seven Isles the same as Las Olas Isles or Nurmi Isles?
No. Each has its own association. Nurmi Isles is immediately to the west. Las Olas Isles, as defined by its own homeowners association, is a separate group of nine isles and sits to the southwest.
