Las Olas Boulevard, built in 1917, initially served as a dirt road traversing swampy wetlands. Following a dewatering project in 1920, the Las Olas Isles neighborhood came to be. Most residences in this picturesque neighborhood are large waterfront homes, with a few condo complexes.

 

Modern architecture is the most predominant style in Las Olas, but a few updated traditional mansions are also available. The homes also feature expansive docks that can accommodate large boats and yachts.
