Frequently Asked Questions
- What have homes in Sunset Lakes sold for recently?
- Sixty-five homes closed between August 2025 and October 2026, at prices from $600,000 to $2,000,000. The median was $1,137,000, or about $347 a square foot. Homes of 3,085 to 3,574 square feet mostly closed between $1,090,000 and $1,390,000, and the largest 4,264 square foot plans at about $1,641,000 to $1,650,000.
- What are the HOA fees in Sunset Lakes?
- Monthly fees in recent listings run from $226 to $317, with a median of $310. All 84 homes in recent listings report a fee, and the range is narrow. The fee most often covers security, common areas, cable TV, recreation facilities and internet. Ask for the current budget before you buy.
- Do most homes in Sunset Lakes have pools?
- Yes. Of the 84 homes in recent listings, 62 have a private pool. Many are lakefront or face the lake, and listings often mention summer kitchens, spas and covered patios. A home without a pool here is the exception and is usually priced accordingly.
- How long does it take to sell in Sunset Lakes?
- The median closed sale took 44 days, and homes closed at about 97 percent of their final list price. Homes priced against recent sales of the same plan sold near asking. Homes that started high often sold for well below their list price after a longer wait. One 3,972 square foot home listed at $1,450,000 closed at $1,250,000.
- Are there one-story homes in Sunset Lakes?
- Yes. Among homes in recent listings that report a story count, 31 are one-story and 44 are two-story. Many two-story plans also have a first-floor bedroom suite, which can work for buyers who want one bedroom and bath without stairs. Ask the listing agent to confirm what is on the first floor, since listings describe it inconsistently.
- How should I confirm entry and security arrangements?
- Security is the item the HOA fee covers most often in recent listings, and arrangements can differ between sections. Ask the association how resident access, guest entry and deliveries work for the specific section you are considering before you make an offer.
- Can you rent out a home in Sunset Lakes?
- Twenty-two listings mark the home OK to lease, though rentals are scarce: only 2 appear in recent listings, asking $5,499 and $7,600 a month. Check the association's leasing rules, including any approval process or minimum lease term, before buying as an investment.
- What schools serve Sunset Lakes?
- Current MLS listings show Sunset Lakes zoned for Sunset Lakes Elementary, Glades Middle and Everglades High, and 82 listings agree on all three. Attendance zones can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with Broward County Public Schools.
- How many homes are for sale in Sunset Lakes?
- There are 14 active listings for sale in Sunset Lakes right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. Prices cluster fairly closely, with the top of the market about 2.3 times the entry level. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new Sunset Lakes listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in Sunset Lakes?
- The median list price in Sunset Lakes is $1,130,000, or roughly $389 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Sunset Lakes homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $760,000 to $1,750,000. The median sits near the middle of that range, so Sunset Lakes inventory is spread fairly evenly rather than bunched at one end. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in Sunset Lakes cover?
- Homes for sale in Sunset Lakes currently range from about $760,000 at the entry level to $1,750,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects lot size, square footage, and finish level across the single-family homes here, with the median list price around $1,130,000. The spread is moderate, so there is real choice here without the extremes some markets show. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the Sunset Lakes listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Sunset Lakes?
- Homes in Sunset Lakes are averaging 77 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a measured pace, which usually leaves buyers room to negotiate and makes pricing at the outset matter more for sellers. Days on market in Sunset Lakes also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Is Sunset Lakes a gated community?
- Yes. Sunset Lakes is a gated community with controlled access at the entrance.
- Are there lakefront homes in Sunset Lakes?
- Yes. Many Sunset Lakes homes back onto community lakes, and lake-view lots are common in current listings. The water here is inland lake frontage rather than Intracoastal or ocean access, so do not expect navigable water or boat dockage.
About Sunset Lakes
Sunset Lakes, Miramar, FL, is a gated community in Broward County with 14 homes for sale right now. Construction dates to 2002. Listings update from the MLS nightly.
Sunset Lakes is a neighborhood of large single-family homes in west Miramar, in the 33029 zip code. Recent MLS listings show houses built between 1998 and 2005, all single-family, with three to seven bedrooms and about 1,797 to 4,264 square feet. The MLS files the community under Sunset Lakes Plat One, Two and Three, and listings use section names such as Isles at Sunset Lakes, Vizcaya, Las Brisas, Monaco Cove, Grand Isle, Regal Palm and Marisol. The homes are concrete block with Spanish or barrel tile roofs, and three-car garages are the norm. Pools are the norm too: 62 of the 84 homes in recent listings have one. Lakes run through the community, and 28 listings describe a lakefront lot.
For an owner who is thinking about selling, the closed sales set the frame. Sixty-five Sunset Lakes homes closed between late August 2025 and early October 2026, at prices from $600,000 to $2,000,000. The median closing price was $1,137,000, and the median price per square foot was about $347. Homes took a median of 44 days to sell and closed at about 97 percent of their final list price. That is a healthy market for homes of this size. Buyers are paying close to asking for homes priced against recent sales, and they are negotiating harder on homes that are not.
Size and lot set the tiers. Smaller homes of 1,905 to 2,314 square feet closed between $600,000 and $820,000. Five-bedroom homes of about 2,800 square feet closed at $865,000 and $875,000. Homes of 3,085 to 3,574 square feet closed between $1,090,000 and $1,390,000. The largest 4,264 square foot plans closed at $1,641,000 and $1,650,000, both on lots of about a third of an acre or more. The 3,766 square foot plan shows how much condition matters inside one tier: three recent sales of that size closed at $910,000, $1,137,500 and $1,325,000. Same square footage, a spread of several hundred thousand dollars.
That spread comes from updates, lot position and the water. A renovated kitchen and baths, a newer roof, impact windows and a resurfaced or new pool all show up in the listings that sold near the top. Lakefront and corner lots add value, and so do larger lots on cul-de-sacs. A seller with an original-condition home should price against the lower sales of the same plan, and a seller who has done the work should document it, with permits, so the appraisal supports the price. Several sellers who started high closed well below their list, such as a 3,972 square foot home that listed at $1,450,000 and closed at $1,250,000.
At the time of writing there were 15 homes for sale and 4 under contract. Asks ran from $760,000 to $1,750,000, with a median of $1,110,000, close to the closed median. Some listings had been on the market for more than 120 days. With only 15 competing homes, a well-prepared listing in the middle of the range does not face much direct competition, but buyers at this price point compare carefully and will wait for the right house. Pricing at the level the recent sales support is what keeps a listing near the 44-day median.
For buyers, Sunset Lakes offers large homes on real lots. Lots in recent sales run from about 0.17 to 0.45 acres, and most of the larger plans sit on lots of 0.2 acres or more. Two-story plans are more common, with 44 two-story and 31 one-story homes among those reporting, so single-level buyers have options. Five- and six-bedroom plans dominate recent sales, so a buyer who needs space for a large household has plenty of choice. Water and sewer are public. Many homes have a first-floor bedroom suite, which listings often highlight for guests or relatives. Rentals are scarce: only 2 appear in recent listings, asking $5,499 and $7,600 a month, and 22 listings mark the home OK to lease.
The HOA fee is modest and consistent. Monthly fees in recent listings run from $226 to $317, with a median of $310. Listings show the fee covering security, common areas, cable TV, recreation facilities and internet most often. The amenities include a clubhouse, a community pool, a fitness center and tennis courts, with a sauna, picnic area and basketball courts mentioned on a smaller number of listings. Entry arrangements can differ between sections, so ask the association how resident and guest access work for the specific address. Pets are allowed on most listings, with restrictions noted on 21.
Listings place Sunset Lakes in the Sunset Lakes Elementary, Glades Middle and Everglades High zones, with 82 listings agreeing on all three. Trailer parking and trucks are restricted on about 20 listings, which matters for owners with a boat trailer or work vehicle. Lake lots are popular, and 40 listings report a lake view, while others look over gardens or pools. Boat and dock rules appear in a few listings, so check them before buying with a boat in mind. Roofs are mostly Spanish or barrel tile, with a few newer metal roofs, and roof age is one of the first things a buyer's inspector checks.
Sunset Lakes suits a buyer who wants a large pool home with a three-car garage and a lake nearby, with a modest monthly HOA fee. It is less suited to someone looking for a starter home, since smaller homes are a minority of recent sales. For sellers, the wide spread within each plan means preparation and pricing matter as much as the floor plan you own.

Market & Value
Sunset Lakes market and home values
Values in Sunset Lakes track the community's own sales more closely than any broad regional number. The median list price in Sunset Lakes is around $1,130,000, or roughly $389 per square foot. That sits about 190% above the Broward County median, which shows where Sunset Lakes lands in the local market. Recent asking prices have run from $760,000 to $1,750,000, so the home you choose within Sunset Lakes matters as much as the community average. Homes here have recently taken about 77 days to go under contract, a useful gauge of how quickly the Sunset Lakes market is moving. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within Sunset Lakes carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity can pull the active and recently sold homes in Sunset Lakes so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.
How It Compares
Sunset Lakes compared to nearby Miramar communities
Sunset Lakes sits 2 of 7 on median price among these Miramar communities. Price per square foot is the fairer comparison between communities, because it adjusts for the fact that one neighborhood builds bigger homes than another. Days on market shows how quickly each one is actually selling.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuscan Isles | 14 | $1,239,995 | $389 | 100 |

Who It Suits
Is Sunset Lakes right for you?
A quick read on who fits Sunset Lakes saves time before you visit. Sunset Lakes works well for families and professionals who want the security and quieter streets of a gated community, often near the schools, shopping, and commuting routes of Miramar. A lake view is a common ask here, since many Sunset Lakes lots back onto water without the flood exposure of a coastal address. On price, Sunset Lakes sits in the upper tier, drawing buyers who want more space, newer construction, or a stronger location. Whether Sunset Lakes is right for you depends on how you plan to use the home, full time or seasonally, and Pure Equity can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Living in Sunset Lakes
Sunset Lakes is a neighborhood where daily life happens at home. With pools on most lots and three-car garages, owners spend a lot of time on covered patios and in the yard, and listings mention summer kitchens, built-in grills and pools facing the lake. The community clubhouse has a pool, a fitness center and tennis courts. A few listings also mention a sauna, a picnic area and basketball courts. The lakes give many homes water views from the back of the house and from upstairs balconies. Streets are residential and grouped into named sections. Many homes have a downstairs bedroom suite, which listings point out for guests or relatives.
Location
Sunset Lakes location
Sunset Lakes is in Miramar in southwest Broward County, in the 33029 zip code. Homes sit along numbered streets and avenues such as SW 195th Terrace, SW 29th Court, SW 186th Way, SW 185th Avenue, SW 189th Avenue, SW 39th Court and SW 55th Street. The MLS files the community under Sunset Lakes Plat One, Two and Three, and section names such as Monaco Cove or Grand Isle appear in the development field. Water and sewer are public. Current MLS listings show Sunset Lakes zoned for Sunset Lakes Elementary, Glades Middle and Everglades High. Confirm the assignment for a specific address with Broward County Public Schools, since attendance zones can change from year to year.
Buying in Sunset Lakes
Buying a home in Sunset Lakes
Buying in Sunset Lakes follows the same path as the rest of Broward County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Ask for the association's governing documents, budget, and reserve study before you write an offer. Association fees, any club or membership costs, and rules on rentals, pets, and leasing vary by community and materially affect the true cost of ownership. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Broward County is about $3,610. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Miramar means you see new listings in Sunset Lakes the day they reach the market.
Selling in Sunset Lakes
Selling a home in Sunset Lakes
A successful sale in Sunset Lakes comes down to pricing, presentation, and marketing. List prices in Sunset Lakes currently center around $1,130,000, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Buyers in an association community also want to see the HOA or condo docs, the reserve study, and any pending or special assessments up front, so having those ready before you list avoids delays once you are under contract. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for Sunset Lakes owners in Miramar, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?
What is your Sunset Lakes home worth?
Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in Sunset Lakes.
Listing agents and seller representation in Sunset Lakes
Thinking about selling in Sunset Lakes? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Conditions in Sunset Lakes currently favor sellers, which is exactly when overpricing does the most damage. A strong market still punishes a listing that starts too high, because the early weeks draw the most qualified buyers and a home that goes stale invites lower offers later. Homes here are averaging about 77 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving Sunset Lakes. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving Sunset Lakes
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in Sunset Lakes is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in Sunset Lakes
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where sellers hold leverage, as they do in Sunset Lakes, buyers often get one chance to put a well-structured offer forward, so preparation counts more than patience. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Broward County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in Sunset Lakes?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near Sunset Lakes, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $1,130,000 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Broward County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in Sunset Lakes?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in Sunset Lakes, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in Sunset Lakes?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in Sunset Lakes do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. In a competitive market that guidance matters more, because you often get one chance to put your best offer forward.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Broward County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
