Weston
The family-first masterplan
Weston is Florida's preeminent executive-relocation address — a meticulously planned city of gated villages, A-rated schools, and 21 miles of bike paths designed from the outset as a self-contained luxury community. For families relocating from the Northeast and Latin America, no South Florida market offers a more turnkey experience.
Weston was master-planned by Arvida and incorporated in 1996 as one of America's first fully-planned upscale municipalities. The result is a city where every neighborhood is gated, every commercial corridor is design-controlled, every school is A-rated, and the entire urban form is built around a continuous greenbelt of parks, paths, and conservation land.
The luxury submarket concentrates in three flagship gated communities: Weston Hills Country Club (golf and tennis with a Tom Fazio course), Windmill Ranch Estates (1+ acre equestrian and estate lots), and Savanna (newer single-family product with extensive resort amenities). The Cleveland Clinic Florida campus and a deep Latin-American professional services base anchor the city's daytime economy.
Weston's appeal to Latin-American families — particularly from Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil — has been so durable that Spanish is functionally a second commercial language across the city. Many of our buyers split time between Weston and a Sunny Isles or Brickell beach unit.

Weston closed approximately $1.4B in residential volume in 2025. Weston Hills Country Club averaged $1.8M; Windmill Ranch Estates averaged $3.4M; Savanna averaged $1.5M. Custom new-construction in Windmill Ranch can clear $7M.
