What You'll Pay
What does your budget get you here?
Honest ranges, not the headline number on Zillow.
$300K – $420K
Condos and Townhomes
Most budget options at this tier are 2–3BR condos or townhomes near University Drive, Stirling Road, and I-595, often 1980s–90s construction with original finishes but solid building quality. HOA fees vary widely and should be verified early; some communities carry fees above $500/month.
$420K – $520K
Older Single-Family Ranch Homes
3BR/2BA ranch-style homes of 1,400–1,800 sq ft, many built in the 1970s–80s on generous lots. Western sections near the Everglades edge occasionally include horse-zoned properties. Kitchens and baths often need updating, but structural quality is generally solid at this tier.
$520K – $600K
Updated Single-Family
Updated 3–4BR single-family homes with renovated kitchens, newer roofs (important for Florida insurance costs), and sometimes pools. Move-in ready inventory at $550K–$600K is limited; buyers should expect to move quickly when a turnkey home hits this price.

About Davie
Davie occupies an unusual position in Broward County: a town of over 112,000 that has deliberately preserved its horse-country character even as it grew into a fully suburban city. Equestrian zoning protects riding trails along residential streets in designated sections, Bergeron Grounds hosts Wednesday jackpot rodeos and a handful of PRCA events each year, and ranch-style homes on larger lots remain available at prices impossible in coastal Broward. Nova Southeastern University's campus provides a stable professional and academic anchor, employment base, and rental demand that protects the market against the seasonal volatility that affects beach cities. The South Florida Education Center corridor (Nova Southeastern, Broward College, and FAU's Davie campus in close proximity) reinforces this dynamic. Commutes to downtown Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Boca Raton are all managed via I-595 and the Florida Turnpike. The honest tradeoffs: Davie is not walkable, and almost nothing is accessible without a car. Traffic on University Drive and Davie Road can be heavy. Houses sold at a median of $810,000 from January through September 2026, so buyers under $420K will mostly be looking at condos and townhomes rather than the single-family homes that define the neighborhood. HOA fees in condo and gated communities can significantly affect true monthly cost. The eastern sections near the Broward College campus feel denser and more urban; the western sections near the Everglades edge are quieter and more rural, these micro-zones carry meaningfully different lifestyles, and buyers should tour both.
