Explore Southwest Ranches

 Discover the calm amidst the city's bustle in the rustic, pastoral escape of Southwest Ranches, a countryside retreat dedicated to preserving its rural lifestyle.  

Marvel at the open fields, equestrian trails, and lakes of Southwest Ranches, a sprawling town on the eastern edge of the Florida Everglades and one of the few agricultural and equestrian communities in South Florida. 

Incorporated in 2000 to uphold its character and heritage, Southwest Ranches features a prime collection of ranch-style homes, equestrian estates, acreage properties, and contemporary residences across 13 square miles, bordered by Weston at its north, the cities of Pembroke Pines and Miramar to its south, the suburbs of Davie and Cooper City to its east, and the Everglades to the west.

 It is home to 7,923 residents as of the latest US Census. 

 Who would have ever thought a dedicated equestrian and agricultural community still existed in a sun-kissed state like South Florida? 

Well, it does, and the seemingly "forgotten" rural way of living remains alive and kicking (pun intended) in Southwest Ranches — a breath of fresh air in the city's towering metropolis! 

Offering an unspoiled landscape filled with grazing animals, nurseries, farms, exquisite and unique scenery, and an abundance of wildlife, Southwest Ranches is a portrait of serenity straight from a postcard you buy on vacation, having zero beaches in sight, yet still glowing in golden sunsets, emerald pastures, and the quiet luxury of wide-open spaces. 

Here, homes have expansive outdoor living areas — not for pools and boat docks, but for horse stables, riding arenas, paddocks, and vast green pastures, reflecting a heritage that sets Southwest Ranches apart from the typical South Florida community. 

But while this rural slice trades high-rises for horse trails and agriculture, there's still an unmistakable South Florida sparkle woven into Southwest Ranches' fabric, as seen through its charming nurseries, lush parks, and equestrian centers, all inviting visitors to experience its unique countryside appeal. 

For one,  Rolling Oaks Park , with its century-old ficus trees and multi-use trails, invites visitors to take in the scenery amidst 46 acres brimming with peaceful spots, historical charm, and fun activities. 

For those who love the outdoors,  Southwest Meadows Sanctuary, the "Crown Jewel" of Southwest Ranches, provides a peaceful retreat that flourishes with wildlife and preserved open spaces, making it the perfect spot for nature lovers and the community's exciting events! 

 Bringing your "four-legged" ride along?   Sunshine Ranches Equestrian Park  showcases the town's passion for horseback riding with open fields and scenic trails, offering visitors a riding-friendly atmosphere as an ode to the essence of life in Southwest Ranches.

Even Fido can get its slice of paradise at  Steven L. Josias Dog & Equestrian Park , as this dual-purpose park allows horse riders and dog owners wide-open spaces for fun and relaxation! 

Oh, and culture junkies, this town won't allow you to feel left out! 

At  South Florida Hindu Temple , you can give your trip a cultural touch thanks to the temple's intricate architecture, overwhelming beauty, and exciting festivals from all corners of India! 

Missing the usual items on your travel itinerary? Say no more! 

While Southwest Ranches is mostly greens, trails, lakes, and more trails, it still offers the signature Sunshine State shopping and dining experiences within its perimeters, spearheaded by the  Southwest Ranches Farmer's Market   for your fruits, specialty goods, and seasonal organic produce, and the  Coquina Plaza  , Regency Square Shopping Plaza, and Cooper City's   Countryside Shops  for a day of buys and bites! 

Southwest Ranches also puts you just minutes from the action in thriving locales like Weston, Pembroke Pines, and Davie, so if your feet are still itching for more adventures, feel free to hop in your car (or your horse — we're kidding!), and explore! 

 Yes, folks, Southwest Ranches delivers in all aspects, whether you're here for the fresh air, the fresh produce, or just a fresh change of pace — minus the skyscrapers, but with plenty of charm to spare!
