Davie, FL Davie, FL
Davie is western Broward with a split personality, and that is its charm: real horse-country roots on one side, planned suburban communities on the other, and room to choose which one your family wants. Davie es el oeste de Broward con doble personalidad: raíces de caballos y comunidades suburbanas planificadas.
What Davie really is.
Davie began as a farming and ranching town and kept the culture alive long enough for it to become an identity: stables, equestrian zoning, acres instead of lawns, and a pace that resists the rush of the coast.
Alongside the ranch life, Davie built classic western Broward suburbia: planned single-family communities, schools, shopping centers, Nova Southeastern's campus, and easy access to I-595 and the Turnpike.
Families Choose Davie when they want the space of ranch living without leaving civilization, or the suburbia without paying the coast-size premium. It is one of the region's most honest value addresses.
What to Know
Four things Davie is known for.
Equestrian roots
Davie's history is horses, ranches, and wide-open land, and those roots still show: equestrian zoning, stables, trails, and even the rodeo.
Space to spread out
Large lots and acreage parcels remain part of the mix, a rarity in this corner of Broward, alongside newer planned neighborhoods.
The university corridor
Nova Southeastern University and its hospital complex make Davie a job and education anchor for western Broward.
Two-county convenience
Centered between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Davie catches commutes in both directions.
The Everyday
The everyday in Davie.
- The ranch side. Some streets still feel rural: fences, pastures, and the pace of horse country.
- The suburban side. Modern single-family communities with HOA amenities fill the newer sections.
- The weekend. The rodeo, the parks, and the restaurants along University Drive keep it busy.
