Neighborhoods like Rolling Oaks, Flamingo Groves, and Ivanhoe feature homes on half-acre to multi-acre lots, many with room for horses. Despite its rural feel, Davie is centrally located with quick access to Fort Lauderdale, the beaches, and major highways.

FAQs About Davie

Can I really keep horses in Davie?
Yes. Davie is one of the few communities in urban Broward County that still allows horse-keeping on residential properties. Many homes in neighborhoods like Flamingo Groves, Rolling Oaks, and western Davie sit on lots large enough for stables and paddocks. The town's zoning laws actively support equestrian use, and there are numerous horse trails, riding academies, and equestrian facilities throughout. The annual Bergeron Rodeo is a beloved community tradition. However, not all Davie neighborhoods allow horses — newer planned communities may have HOA restrictions, so it's important to verify property-specific rules.
How does the NSU area affect Davie's real estate market?
Nova Southeastern University is a major anchor for Davie's real estate market. With over 20,000 students and thousands of faculty and staff — including medical residents at the NSU medical complex — there's consistent demand for rental properties in the surrounding area. Condos, townhouses, and small single-family homes near NSU are popular investments. The university area also generates foot traffic for local businesses, supporting commercial property values. For investors, NSU-area properties offer steady rental income with low vacancy due to the constant influx of students and professionals.
What is the flood risk in Davie?
Davie is an inland community with varying flood risk depending on the specific area. Western Davie, closer to the Everglades, tends to have higher flood risk and some properties may be in FEMA Zone AE. Eastern and central Davie generally have lower flood risk with many properties in Zone X. The town's canal system helps manage water levels, but some low-lying areas can experience localized flooding during heavy rains. Flood insurance requirements vary by property — your lender will determine the specific flood zone during the mortgage process.
Can foreign nationals get a mortgage in Davie?
Yes. Foreign nationals can qualify for mortgage financing in Davie through specialized foreign national loan programs. These programs typically require 25-30% down payment and accept international income documentation. Davie's range of property types — from condos near NSU to large-lot equestrian properties — offers diverse options for international buyers. Home Financial Group has extensive experience helping Latin American buyers purchase homes in Davie. No US credit history or Social Security number is required.
What is the commute from Davie to Fort Lauderdale or Miami?
Davie enjoys one of the best commuting positions in Broward County thanks to I-595, which runs directly through the town. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is just 15-20 minutes east via I-595 to I-95. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about 20 minutes away. Miami is approximately 30-40 minutes south via I-75 or the Florida Turnpike. The town's central location also provides quick access to the Sawgrass Expressway for trips to northern Broward and Palm Beach County. Many residents appreciate that Davie feels rural while being minutes from everything urban Broward has to offer.
