A 24-hour guard-gated Weston community of lake subdivisions near A-rated schools.
Listings before the portals, true comps, and the renovation and carrying-cost math, before you tour.
"The Lakes is a 24-hour guard-gated Weston community organized into several lake subdivisions, Cameron Lake, Somerset Lakes, Fairfax Lakes, Hampton Lakes, and Verona Lakes, with a community pool, recreation, and A-rated schools nearby. The read is the subdivision and the lot: each enclave differs slightly, and a lake lot and an updated home set the spread. The gate, the amenities, and the schools are priced in; the deal turns on a comp read within the right subdivision."

The Lakes market snapshot (as of June 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $382K ($302 per sq ft), with homes averaging 78 days on market and 1.6 months of supply, a seller's market. Based on 15 recent closings in live BeachesMLS data.
The Lakes is a 24-hour guard-gated community in the master-planned city of Weston, ZIP 33326, just east of the Everglades, organized into several lake subdivisions including Cameron Lake, Somerset Lakes, Fairfax Lakes, Hampton Lakes, and Verona Lakes.
Homes are single-family residences, typically three to five bedrooms, many with pools, screened patios, impact windows, updated kitchens, and lake views. The Weston Lakes Maintenance Association maintains the amenities, which include a neighborhood pool, a small playground, a soccer field, a picnic grove, and open green spaces, with proximity to shopping and A-rated schools. Reported HOA dues run roughly $200 to $625 depending on the subdivision.
Because the community spans several lake subdivisions of a shared era, the subdivision, the lot, and condition are what move value. The gate, the amenities, and the top Weston schools are priced in; the deal is made on an honest read of a specific home's updates and lake lot, with the number anchored to comparable sales within the right subdivision.
Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

If we were buying in The Lakes, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.
Read condition and comps first. In The Lakes, the home's condition and exact location set the number, so price the work honestly before you judge any list price.
Confirm the carrying costs. The Lakes has HOA dues that vary by subdivision, so confirm the current dues and what they cover for the specific home. Verify what is owed and what it covers for a specific home.
Match the home to recent comparable sales, not a portal estimate, then structure the offer around its true condition.
Verify the schools by address with the school district, since assignment is by address and can change.
Use your own representation. The listing agent works for the seller; on a purchase here, having someone in your corner is the highest-leverage decision you make.
On mobile, tap any heading below to open it. This is the home by home, lot by lot, club and renovation detail, organized so you can jump straight to what matters to you.

The factors that actually move value in The Lakes, condition, lot, and the renovation math, read from current listings and recent sales.
Renovated-listing inventory in The Lakes is too thin right now to compute a reliable renovation premium. We read condition home by home against real comps before you offer.
On golf, lake, and preserve frontage, the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.
Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.
Our read on the factors that protect resale here, and the one to manage.
Momentum analysis based on the no-CDD structure, central location, built-out lot scarcity, the funded club plan, and the all-resale 1990s housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.
The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated golf or lake home priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest estate often pay estate prices for what is really a renovation project.
In an all-resale, seven-figure, renovation-driven market, the same five mistakes cost buyers the most. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.
1The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.
2A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.
3Golf frontage, lakefront, and preserve lots carry real, durable premiums. Pay an estate price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.
4The club is optional and separate, so two similar homes can cost very differently to own. Buyers who do not price the membership they will actually use misread their real monthly number.
5A 1990s home means 1990s-era systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.
The gate, the schools, and the lakes are priced in. The deal is won or lost on the subdivision, the lot, and condition.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the five factors that decide how a home here buys, holds, and resells.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment based on the analysis on this page, on a 0 to 10 scale. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value or advice on a specific home.
Most pages on this community are an automated estimate wrapped in stock copy. This one is built from the live BeachesMLS feed, fourteen years of closed sales, and a renovation-by-renovation read of what actually moves value here, lot by lot. No Zestimate, no guesswork.
Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.
Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from BeachesMLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.
In a guard-gated community of several lake subdivisions, the subdivision, the lot, and condition are the durable differentiators. Lake lots hold value best, and each enclave differs slightly on dues and rules. Read the subdivision and the lot first, then price the condition against comparable sales within the right subdivision.
Reported roughly $200 to $625 per month depending on the subdivision (confirm the current amount and what it covers for a specific home).
Guard-gated 24-hour access, the neighborhood pool, playground, soccer field, picnic grove, common-area maintenance, and security; confirm exactly what the subdivision's dues cover.

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.
If you are thinking about selling in The Lakes, the right list price comes from recent comparable sales matched to your home's condition, lot, and exact location, not an automated estimate.
Sold-to-list and days-on-market figures reflect Momentum Realty listings versus our market average, year to date. Your home's result depends on pricing, condition, lot, view, and preparation.
Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Savanna, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
